Call of Duty 2: Big Red One

"Another adverage WWII shooter Another Adverage review"

Will another WWII game and it is full the same old stuff. This feels like the last Call of Duty through and through. You start out as a solider commander I suppose and you take your troops threw 3 different countries. Now I hated this game I HATE WWII games, but there is nothing wrong with this game. So you say why should I buy this game? Will you shouldn't it rent it on gamefly but rent Brothers in Arms first.

Graphics:6/10 They are ok nothing too bad but nothing great. They have the same in game cinematics as BIA,but I just didn't really like the look of there faces I don't know if there mouth moves or not. There are alot of invisible walls or the stupid I can step over this little brick. There are about 3 or 4 enemy types for each country and they look alot like your soliders, but yours has there name over they so it ain't all bad. The worst thing of all is the just keep spawning out of nowhere. If you try to run ahead you will get shoot in the back since the will think you killed them all then one just spawns there.

Audio:5/10 I like the guns sounds since that is about all you hear. Will the voice overs are ok but I really didn't care about what they had to say. Ummm that is about it the guns sound good and will I liked it.

Gameplay:5/10 Ah most important of all first the controls are HORRIBLE I am a big fan of the Halo set so I wanted to customize it will you can't. You have 4 preset controls and they are all stupid honestly white for reload and the grenade on X. Now as you know you have team will people the OPEN DOORS FOR YOU that is all that they are good for. You can't open a door so they have to and they AI sucks they run for cover and will hide there. So it honestly feel like you are a One Man solider with whole bunch of door men. Now what about the enemies will they just keep coming from the same place till you move to the next check point so that means they are dumb as hell will you got that right.

Replay:8/10 Will you love this game and what to play it alot more then me huh? Will there is multiplayer Only on Xbox live and it is the only reason to buy this game what so ever. I must say it was pretty good online and I had fun. Oh there is stuff to unlock but what WWII don't have it.

Overall:6/10 It is another WWII game nothing special and no need to play it play or buy a Xbox 360 and play Call of Duty 2 which is alot better,but if you do buy it make sure you have Xbox live cause single player sucks.
