Rating: 3 stars
Summary: 3 stars (due to bugs)
Review: This could be a great game. The first game to give me the creeps since the original Quake. A good piece of work which sadly is so buggy that I lack words. If you see any patches (>1.3), go for it !

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Good But Buggy
Review: This game is good if you have enough patience it freezes a hole lot and is full of bugs so I would suggest saving all the time but other than that it is a fun game so I suggest buying it

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: One of the Best Strategy Games Ever.
Review: This game is incredible. The great historical plot is great, the missions are thrilling and challeniging and the graphics are the best I've seen lately. Like wine, even though it is relatevily old, it is the best game I've played lately, and one of the best I've ever played.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Best WW2 Infantry game I have played
Review: This game really draws you in and makes you feel "there". With the 1.3 patch, most of the bugs are gone, and it only hangs occasionally now. Save often, just to be sure.

The best part is you have to think out your moves, and not just run in "Quake-style" with guns blazing (especially against the large machine gun nests). Team tactics make this fun.

It's been a great trainer for me in WW2 infantry tactics while I wait for wwiionline to go beta.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A realistic shooter-based game
Review: This is a really fun game if you have the time to learn all the keys. It is incredibly realistic and is fun history! The Semi-Interactive story line is a cool feature too.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Good, but full of bugs..
Review: This is a really intense game, but mostly because you're not sure when it's going to lock up on you! save often and be prepared to restart the game often..

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Flawed
Review: This is a very smart 'soldier sim' - less anal than 'Rainbow Six' but much stricter than 'Delta Force'. You guide a set of WW2 SAS commandos through a set of superbly-designed, 'Where Eagles Dare'-style missions, whilst being shot at by extremely accurate Nazi guards. After a short while getting used to the game controls (your soldiers move around realistically - unlike other games, they don't glide effortlessly over the ground) you can order your men around, fight effectively, plant bombs and do all kinds of commando things. The tension is palpable, the presentation is excellent (especially the music, performed by a proper orchestra), and the chance to act out childhood fantasies with a captured MP40 is irresistable.

That said, it could have been a lot better. The initial release was bugged to blue blazes, and despite a patch, it still feels shaky. The AI makes lots of odd mistakes, your soldiers are unusually flimsy (particularly on uneven ground, where they tend to trip and fall and die), and the enemy soldiers are unfeasibly hyper-accurate from a map-length away. Furthermore, a couple of the 'end-of-episode' missions are ferociously, unfairly tough, and you'll probably cheat out of frustration.

Still, when it works, it's one of the best games around - combining lots of tense sneaking with moments of violent action and excellent, varied mission designs.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A great game but...
Review: This is an excellent game. It is challenging, the graphics are excellent and the scenarios are good. It is a bit buggy, and does lock and crash on you. I recommend that you save your game often to prevent having to start over when it does. It also has some interesting quirks that are intermittent, such as your soldier falling through the floor into limbo. It is a rare occurrence, and somewhat humorous, albeit annoying when it does occur. A patch is available from the Talonsoft website that takes care of most of the bugs, but it will still crash at times. Frankly, though, I don't care. I have played through the entire game twice, bugs and all, and am looking forward to the follow on that is coming.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent Action and Strategy Game
Review: This is certainly one of the most impressive WWII games for thecomputer that I have played ever. The combination of strategy, teampositioning, . The realism of the game, including gore and the German language, were simply amazing, but used with a classy style. In other words, the game is not Duke Nukem style, go-in-and-shoot-'em. I recommend this game to anyone who would love to get back at those creeps of the war, or somebody who simply wants to occupy their afternoon with action and spine-chilling visual effects. END

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Not enough time in the day
Review: This is one of those games where time just flies by. I'm very busy during the day and in the evening I spend my time with my wife and son. But later on in the night is when I get some time to my self. When I sit down and play this game hours fly by until it's early in the morning. The sound effects and graphics are excellent. Make sure you download the patch to get to V1.2. This makes loading your saved games much faster, and clears up some hangs. I would give this a 5 start if it was not for some occassional hangs. Save often, but the game is worth it. If you only have a small amount of time to yourself, then this game is well worth your time. The enemy AI and your team AI will make you think about just running in by yourself guns blazing. If you do, you'll be sorry.
