Alright folks, this is my view on this fantastic game. Your opinions and critisim’s are welcome. I have found it tough to beat this one in my #1 favorite WWII game category. Although many of the missions are fictional, the game is a masterpiece. This game is about the SAS in WWII.
The freedom to proceed to any objective and to create, select, equip your team is amazing. You can name any player your name which in my opinion is awesome. The training tutorial feels like a traing simulation with coaching thru character interaction. The realism of the physics engine enhances the real feel. The sounds are all good except the MG42 and the Lee Enfield. Only CoD has got the perfect MG42 sound. The enemy AI is very intelligent in their pursuit and so is your team. The ability to equip your team after a detailed breifing also allows flexiblity to completio of each task. Each member of your team (max can be 4 man team) can be selected from an international roster of 30 men who you can choose to exploit their special skill. EVERY character is different! The ingame movies and overall music makes the game feel like an old WWII movie. The ability to drive almost any vehicle is brilliant as well. With the complex controls, you can take complete control of your squad and actually LEAD your men. Every situation is diiferent and no mission can be played the same way twice if you choose. The overhead map allows you to also control plotted attacks or play it in real time like Commandos Beyond the Call of Duty. The game can be played 3rd and 1st person. Missions take you to Norway, Libya, Burma, Austria, France, and Czechslovakia. Just about every WWII weapon and small arm is included.
