Good, but there are better world war 2 games.

When I first began playing this game I thought it was amazing, but as you get further in to it, it becomes rather tedious and repetitive. A nice new feature however is being able to command your team throughout the game, although it doesn’t always work how you want it to. For example, you tell your team to advance and sometimes they just stay still, that’s rather annoying sometimes. Damage from bullets isn’t too good either, sometimes it will take up to 10 shots to the chest area to kill a “***”, having said that, what is good is the enemy A.I, especially as they charge towards you with bayonets as you frantically try to reload your weapon.
Another new feature I did like was the corpsman. It was much more realistic having your medic run over a patch you and your team up when you’d been hit, as opposed to picking up medi packs along the way. You get 4 ‘heals’ per level and after they’ve gone that’s it until a new level loads up. When you are almost dead you go into a blurry dying state, lying down, barely able to move, if your corpsman still has heals available he will run over and patch you up, however if he has none, or he doesn’t get there in time, you will die, or get executed if any enemies are nearby, quite a cool feature, other WW2 shooters should consider doing something similar.
The game physics are excellent, shooting certain objects will provoke an explosion or cause it to ‘fly’ up and tumble over. If you choose to shoot your own soldiers they will fall back, although they seem to be invulnerable to your own bullets. Other than what I have said I can’t pick up on any more flaws.

The graphics in this game are brilliant. Arguably the best part of this game is the fantastic graphics, the way rays of sunlight hit objects is so real it’s as if you’re actually there watching it all happen. Explosions and other particle effects are also very, very good, certainly some of the most realistic I have seen in a shooter anyway. As you are in the Pacific throughout the entirety of the game, the jungle textures are a welcome change to the usual destroyed town textures we are used to in so many other WW2 games, although it can get a bit boring after a while, that’s the only downside.

Now I don’t have a particularly fancy speaker system for my PC, so I can’t fully appreciate the effort put into audio effects for this game, but I have to say the sounds are incredible. Explosions, bullets, bayonets, they all sound so realistic. The voice acting is also pretty decent, and that goes for the Japanese too which sounds very authentic, although I have no idea what they are saying.

Overall, a decent WW2 shooter. It might not be as good as expected but I would definitely recommend it if you love the Medal of Honor series and/or WW2 shooters. Personally, I still prefer Call of Duty to this game.
