Civilization 3 Complete

5 stars (Best Game Ever!) - This is by far the best strategy game ever developed in the computer gaming industry. I can't wait for Civ IV!!! 2 stars (Great Game If You Can Get It to Work; Recommend with Extreme Caution) - Great Aspects: If you can get the game properly installed and working, then it's well-worth the money. Between the many races, many ways to win, and the many paths to get to those wins (tech, weapons, diplomacy, etc.), this game is quite entertaining. The graphics and music are pretty good and the wide array of in-game options (as well as quick to learn) is a strong plus. Downside: Discs seem to have too much copy-protection on them to the point where legal copies of the game can't be read by some CD-drives. Atari tech support is extremly slow and useless and will blame the problem on you unless you really want to push them. Summary: The fun factor (5 stars) isn't in question here, it's the ability to actually play the game. If you have a slightly older CD-drive, you're probably okay. A new CD-ROM drive might present some serious difficulties. Don't hesistate to return the game if it doesn't work with your system. Recommend with Extreme Caution. 4 stars (More Scenarios) - I have enjoyed Civ from the beginning. The Civ3 scenarios are excellent. They give the flavor of the different periods and a good sense of history. however there are some scenarios in Civ2 that are not available in Civ3 that I am aware of and I keep hoping they will show up. The American Revolution, the American Civil War, WWI (even if it is only the European and Mediterranean theaters, and WWII European, Mediterranean and North African theaters. Make no mistake the scenarios available in Civ3 are excellent, ancient Mediterranean, ancient Japan, medieval, Napoleonic and the World War2 Pacific Campaign are all great. I'm sure there are some scenarios that I have left out. You can see those that I play most often. ...

Codename- Panzers Phase 2

5 stars (Totally Sweet) - This game really has a lot going for it. Using historical battles one can have a lot of fun. My only complaint is that Krupps were not like they were in the first game. The allied campaign was really tough. Read up on your strategy for this game because it gets tough. If you liked the first one, I would highly suggest this game. 2 stars (It should have been a patch.) - This game should have been a free patch to codename panzers one.I don't now how stormregion had the nerve to charge 40 bucks and tax for this game.I really enjoyed codename panzers one and was looking forward to the release of this game.Its little more then an improvement on the gaming console and a slight extension of the game.I really do feel robbed,I'm sorry. 5 stars (Panzers) - This game is the Top Game under the strategy games 20 new units, choose your country. A good mix from single and multi-user gaming. Nice landscape graphics. Have played two whole nights already ... simply a must buy. ...

Empire Earth 2

5 stars (Needs Expansion but good game) - Ive been a huge fan of the first and when i heard about the second i counted down the days and finally it came out it was amazing much better then the first great graphics tons of options and Extreamely fun online and its free and 8 people can play at once and can make alliances and betray your allies and then NUKE them like crazy or use spys to make there reasourses posines or just make a huge army of GIANT robots and go slauter your enemy so as you can see theres tons of differnt ways to play 15 ages hundreds of buildings and dozens of units however if you got a crappy computer it will lag but its still fun so throw out War Craft or Age of Empires because the KING of RTS is here so buy it log on and kill 5 stars (FROM Cavalry Riders TO ROBOTS from Pitch forks to NUKES) - now me and my friends always would play the first together online it was a blast But one day one of my friends logged on and said that they are making a sequel WOW! so we waited until finally it came out but it wasnt as popular as we whould have hoped we were woried it may have been a stinker but when we got on we saw that it was in fact the KING of RTS it truely feels like you are in an actual war with weather blood stains However it does lagg a little but its worth it dozens of years to choose from TONS of civilzations and the Max POP is 2000 WOW the campaign may be a little boring but scrimishes rock and online play unimagineable 1 stars (Doesnt work) - The only good this game is good for is crashing your computer. when it works it extremely slow and unplayable. You have to hack the configuration files just to get it somewhat playable when it should work right out of the box. The developer abandoned support. If you get it working for the 10 minutes that it does work the graphics are terrible. Empire Earth 1 is better, the graphics were better and the game was playable. What happened this time?? Do not buy this game. Save your $50 and get Rise...

Port Royale 2

4 stars (Great game, but be sure on what you're looking for.) - This is a great game, very fun, but make sure this is what you are looking for. This is not some sort of action, adventure, or RPG game. This is a strategy. My review won't go into detail, you can read tons of detail from other reviews, but I wanted to make sure you all know, this is a strategy game, don't buy it thinking it is anything other than that. 4 stars ( Port Royale 2 ) - I downloaded the demo version and liked it so I ordered the game. I opened it and tried to load it onto my computer. Wouldn't do it. Tried another computer, still wouldn't do it. I then tried my wifes computer and it downloaded. Tried to play it and it crashed. I went to the website and found I wasn't the only one having a problem, the answers were evidently in the video card. I gave it to my son. He downloaded it on his homebuilt computer and it works. question 1 and 2 are his feelings about the game. He thanks me for buying the game for him. Advice, make sure you have everything the system requirements ask for before you buy the game. I thought that since the demo worked so well that the full game would also, wrong. 4 stars (Good Game) - I am a pirate simulation guy. I played Pirates, Pirates Gold, Pirates 2004, Sea Dogs, Pirates of the Caribbean, Port Royale and High Seas. No game has the trading down like Port Royale 2 . It is the best trade simulation game available, bar none. With that said, the piracy part of the game is very difficult. You cannot operate at all without a Letter of Marque. If you attack a country's ships without a letter everyone pretty much hates you and you cannot trade any more. The game for you is basically over. You need to trade (which means you probably need to be friendly with 2 countries). Although you can buy your reputation back to neutral or just wait long enough for your reputation to get better. I think this makes the game more true to life. The ship to ship fighting is pretty basic, yo...

Knights of Honor

5 stars (What is Thy Will, M'lord?) - Well it seems up to me to set the record here... There aren't many reviews as of this typing and the game is getting scarce (might be discontinued - stores aren't getting new copies?)... So what's the boggle folks? Three important points to cover in this review, here they go: 1. Performance? This game, as far as I've experienced, as no bugs. It runs flawlessly, doesn't stutter or pause at all, and the graphics and sound quality are astounding. If you like 3D then Poo-Poo on you: the 2D graphics in this game outshine many 3D games on the market. The major problems that many PC-gamers have that they don't realize are among the following: virus scanning software running in the background, unnecessary background programs in memory, outdated drivers (video, sound, motherboard, etc), or just plain shoddy equipment (the cheapest and best advertised isn't the best quality!)... For the sake of guidance make sure you PC matches or exceeds the minimum requirements: the game developers did a good job of estimating what kind of hardware is needed to run the game smoothly... 2. Gameplay? Moooohahah! Total War - Total what? Knights of Honor (KoH) is on a level that cannot be compared with the current offering of strategy titles - perhaps that is why it hasn't exploded on the scene... KoH is much slower paced than other games (possibly even more time-consuming than Civilization - or at least equal)... But that is its strength: if you don't like to micromanage and don't have the patience to wait several minutes for something, anything, to happen then don't bother with KoH... The user interface, help menus, and in-game events are easy to follow and manipulate. The options for guiding your nation surpass any game I've played recently (again with maybe the exception of the latest Civlization offering)... If you like Civilization and Medieval simulations then KoH has consumed anything available today - play the demo and see for yoursel...

Stronghold 2

5 stars (Excellent Medieval SIM) - If you are looking for a great castle sim, with a challenging combat/siege warfare system, look no further. I'm a medieval history buff, and have always been interested in everything from combat to politics to feudal life. This game, while not perfect, is a fulfilling escape into the world of knights and barbarians. As far as hardware issues go, I have had none. My computer exceeds the recommended specs and I play with all settings maxed in 1600x1200x24 resolution (AMD Athlon 64 3500+, 2gb Corsair PC3200 RAM, PNY GeForce 6800GT). However I would not recommend that someone who has only the minimum or even recommended system requirements turn on all the eye-candy. Castle siege scenes can become quite demanding on both the processor and video card, but if you have the hardware it is quite beautiful and realistic. I haven't encountered any in-game bugs - at least none that have impaired my gaming experience in any noticable way. This seems to be a very well designed game, and although it may still be a work in progress, the foundation is there for a very fun, replayable game. The support staff and developers seem dedicated to continuing to update this game and provide help for users who encounter problems. I would highly recommend this game to anyone interested in historical sims, real time strategy, or castle wall demolition. 4 stars (cool) - On my computer the game worked flawlessly. The game is very cool with hardly any cons. The cons are that the stupid peasants poo in the middle of your town and you have to build a gong farmer. The dungeons and punishment in the game is easy for any body that doesnt get it. You build a courthouse, a guard post, a torture guild, a punishment, and whenever the criminal has his bag out you click on the guard with the black staff then on the criminal then he will bring him to the dungeon to await his punishment. In this game though whenever I do free build where you build from scratch it jus...

Silent Hunter 3 DVD

1 stars (Maybe it's a good game - if you can get it to run.....) - I have not even been able to install the game due to the use of Starforce copy protection software contained on the DVD. My drive see's only empty folders. [...] Bottom line - do not waste your money on this game - if you open it and it does not work, you cannot return it...Ubisoft does not care, they will not help, they just want your money. Do not buy ANY Ubisoft products - if you do not want to get ripped off. 5 stars (Silent Hunter 3) - Silent Hunter 3 arrived about a week ago and I am totally hooked! This has got to be the most engaging simulation I've played. Though it lacks the high action of combat flight, I cannot overstate the joy one feels at stalking, lining up and sinking allied ships. Yesterday on the way to patrol. off the coast of Ireland, we spotted a British destroyer, approached it at periscope depth with electric engines running at slow speed, got within a 800 meters at 90 degrees (torpedoes were unreliable and less likely to detonate if hitting the hull from an oblique angle), and sank it with a perfect firing solution. I can't communicate how giddy that makes you feel. Continuing the patrol I sent five merchants to the bottom. The level of simulation is scalable, and I'm only playing at around 50%. If you want to go all the way, you have to manually identify ships, calculate distance, course and speed, then do the trigonometry for the firing solution. Presently, I leave all that to the weapons officer and focus on approaching the target undetected. At full realism, you don't get to use the external cameras, and can only experience the action from within the boat itself. Not quite ready for that myself. If you fail to sink warships, they start to hunt you persistently and methodically, which can get very tense indeed. I've done ten patrols and it's still May 1940. The allies will get their act together as the war progresses and survival will become increasingly difficult...

Sid Meier-s Pirates-

4 stars (can't dance) - although I've never won a dance this game is enjoyable. pirates, was the 1st pc game i had and yhis new verssion was like takin g a walk back it time. 5 stars (Great fun on the high seas!) - Sid Meier's Pirates! is a wonderful adventure game. You explore the ocean as a pirate captain and experience life on the high seas. You can capture ships, sack cities and towns, and search for buried treasure. The game has many levels of difficulty, so you can have fun right away, but you don't get bored when you have mastered the game. 4 stars (awesome game, sid does it again) - Right, if you've seen Pirates of the Caribbean, you'll see a lot of familiar stuff here. If you liked the movie(and not just because Depp and Bloom were in it), then this will be a treasure you won't miss STOP BLOWING HOLES IN MY SHIP!! The fighting, looting, dodging, and overall pirating gameplay has been programmed beautifully. The only flaw in the gameplay standpoint is that sailing against the wind(usually eastwards) is at a crawl. The types of upgrades and different ships allow some strategy involvement, but not enough to make your brain strain. Diplomacy is for suckers, you can basically piss off all four countries(there's the English, Spanish, Dutch, and French) and not get in too much trouble. It's when you pick on one country in particular(I sacked every Spanish Town I could find) that you get into trouble. WEDDINGS? I LOVE WEDDINGS!!! DRINKS ALL AROUND!! I felt that swooning governers daughters was fun. My only fault with it is that if news of your exploits travels so fast(instantly for the most part), why don't the ladies know that you've been trying to pass the moves on other women? If you get the girl good enough, you can marry her, but there is very little gameplay bonus for it, just the ability to say that you're married. YOU LOOK SOMEWHAT FAMILIAR, HAVE I THREATENED YOU BEFORE? one of the biggest flaws(pretty much the only flaw) is that the animations and th...

Rise of Nations- Thrones - Patriots Expansion Pack

4 stars (Expansion value for kids) - Firstly, I have already reviewed Rise of Nations; it is excellent and the expansion pack makes it better. If you don't have either RON, or if $$ doesn't matter then go for Gold and get the best. However, my situation is that I bought the expansion pack as an 'extra' for my children (who love RoN) and for them this expansion pack was NOT good value. Other expansion packs we have bought (notably age of empires and age of empires II) have added to the game play in significant 'game changing' ways. The RoN expansion does have new nations and new unique units; as one reviewer says if you are a 'thinking man' these new subtleties are an interesting nut to crack. But if you are a 'thinking child' the differences are too subtle (or complex) to fully grasp. The senate is comprehensible; the distinctions between the different generals really isn't. The biggest disapointment was the campaigns. In age of kings each new campaign had introduced my children to a piece of history with which they became fascinated. RoN does have a good campaign system which I raved about before. However the expansion pack is really just the same thing with the countries relabeled. There are a couple of new tweaks but nothing in the campaigns themselves to render them as immersive as the AOK versions. All in all, the expansion pack makes a brilliant game better. But viewed as an expense almost equivalent to a new game, I cannot recommend this UNLESS you have a deep and thorough grasp of the underlying subtleties of the original version. 4 stars (Great game, the six campaigns need some work) - Ive played this game a lot over time and have found it to be a very fun game. Good battle graphics and realistic aspects to running your nation. However, the 6 newer campaigns have limited scenarios and are too simple. The normal campaign doesn't have enough regions to conquer. Despite these downsides, the campaign is still loads of fun, especially the new world and cold ...

Imperial Glory

5 stars (Hard to get bored) - This is a great strategy game. If you ever wondered what empire-building during the Napoleonic era was like, this is the game for you. The game is thoroughly researched down to the level of the uniforms and weaponry, and the military units manouver in the precise manner described in military history books. For naval warfare buffs, it brings new realism to naval strategy games, allowing for the wind factor and the accuracy of the guns. Be warned, however, this is a game for hard-core strategists, not for the shoot-em up crowd. If you consider yourself a cognoscenti of military strategy games with more than a passing taste for history, give this one a try, you won't regret it 4 stars (Napoleon , Blucher, Wellington....! sword, musket and cannon) - Imperial Glory covers the mid point in European imperialism, The game mainly plays out the Napoleonic Wars combined with the industrial revolution. All this lumped together in a campaign that well, is longgggg. Quick battles (land and naval)are great and stimulating. They include a pause, real time point and click order, with very slow to very fast speed of play and the naval side has a wind gauge. The campaign AI is designed to play out as if it were the 1791-1820's, (3 levels of difficulty)with each nations armies evenly matched to some degree. One the best games covering the the age of Napoleon. 4 stars (Fun easy game.) - This was a fun game to play. It was almost as fun as Medieval Total War. I removed 1 star for the combat interface. Combat on land is fine, it was similar to the total war series. The naval combat is where I removed the 1 star. The naval combat can be confusing if you have more than 3 ships, you send off a ship in a particular direction, andyou forget why you sent the ship in that direction ion the first place. It would be nice to issue orders while paused. Not only that, the empires are not truly balanced. Playing campaign mode hardest level of difficulty, England...

Age of Mythology Gold Edition

4 stars (Hours of fun with just a touch of educational value) - OK... so the comment of educational value might be a little much if you aren't interested in mythology and choose not to look at any of the context sensitive help, however if you do you'll be surprised at the amount of effort that went into the background that was documented for this game. The game itself is a blast having grown from the same mold as Age of Empires and it's predecessors. The inability to zoom in closer to the action or rotate the camera does make it difficult to control at times. The campaigns that are included are fun, but have little replay value. This is more than made up for with the ability to play online and/or create new scenarios (can sometimes be a time consuming experience if you want to create something large) or generate them randomly (to get back playing quickly) 5 stars (Extreme Gaming: Massively Multiplayer, stunningly strategic, stupendous storyline, gourgeos graphics!!!) - Have you played Starcraft, Age of Empires, Age of Kings, Rise of Rome, or Star Wars Battlefield? If you have, you should know what this is like... Create your civilization, decide what units to concentrate on, pick which god to worship, prioritize your defenses and your offensives, thats exactly what this is like. Differences for AoE, AoK, etc, are that they have converted the game into 3-D, creating stunning effects of biuldings, units, rivers, and forests. Also it has a twist with the gods, so you may worship the gods of your choice, and become different advantags. There are three main cultures, each with different gods and sub-gods. They are Greek, Egyptian, and Norse. Each has unique advantages and dissadvantages, offering many hours of play. After you are tired of the single-player and campaigns (that is, if you ever do) there is more!!! You can now easily log on to a server with hundreds of other players ready for a fight. And if you win, your rank raises. This lets you easily find t...

Command and Conquer Generals- Deluxe Edition

5 stars (One of the greatest command games ever!!!) - Command and Conquer Generals Deluxe Edition is the best game i have ever played before. You have to get (required) the general edition to play the zero hour edition. Which this extrodanary game has. My advice is to get it while you can. So have a blast!!! ;) 5 stars (Great Strategy) - I like to switch every few months between Sci-Fi, and RL. Between SF 1st person games to birds-eye viewing an army invading an enemy base. I have to say that the Generals series has fulfilled gaming needs ;) The various generals allow you to become great in specific fields such as infantry, tanks, air force, nuclear power, and much more. I won't go into too many details so you can try it for yourself but I will say that, while I miss the old C&C games (they don't play on XP :..(), Generals and Zero Hour have the most impressive graphics and some of the most detailed game play you will see. The explosions are real, the sound is undeniably great. US Rangers fast roping from a Chinook, Stealth Fighters bombing specific enemy targets, Chinese armored divisions crossing key bridges, and GLA demolition trucks lurking in 'abandoned' cities, awaiting to kamikazie on an enemy convoy. All in all, it has everything a strategic gamer likes. Buy the Deluxe edition because I, for one, enjoy playing both campaings. It's also fun once in a while to go back to Generals instead of Zero Hour to see what it was like to win the battlefield without Chinese Helix choppers flying cover. Though it has high system requirements, it is well worth it. If you buy it and it's laggy then it's a problem with your computer's specifications and not with the game. Oh, forgot one Con. The online multiplayer gets pretty laggy. I mean I played with a friend online (2v2comps) and it was getting pretty laggy, though maybe it's just my computer (even though it's brand new). 3 stars (HA! Not as good as the old one) - This game would be far better if the resourc...

Rise of Nations

5 stars (Finally, a RTS game for the slow clickers out there....) - If you are a frustrated RTS gamer who is sick and tired of playing the uber-clickers out there who love to send an unstoppable army into your home base 40 seconds into the game, then this is the game for you. RoN is a game that actually makes it OK to focus on building a balanced civilization through the use of attrition damage and borders. Granted, folks have figured out how to rush in this game, but it is much more tricky, and much more risky. The game is certainly complex, but after getting through 6 or so games it starts to become much easier. There is a dizzying amount of unique civilizations to choose from. Each one has it's own unique units and unique civ powers. This adds to replay value of the game as you'll want to try out many civs to get a taste of their unique units and abilities. A ton has already been said about this game, so I'll cut this short. Bottom line - it's a defining RTS game. One other reviewer got it right when he said that it's a cross between Civilization and Age of Empires. That my friend is good company to be with! 4 stars (nothing different) - its microsoft another bid on rts after age of empires and age of myhtology.well the basics are all the same,but where u had arkantos and joan b4 now we have nations.well at first it looked like u just got to build a few cities,make an army and capture the enemy capital.but when u play it in the tough and medium mode,thats when u have to be on ur toes.when to attach,how many cities and where,ambushes,openfield battle,engaging the right units with the right enemy units.and last of the campaigns in which u have to capture the enemy's capital is so difficult that u destroy some army buildings,and u lost half ur army for that,and when u look around they have created the same buildings while i was destroying them at another site.well i still prefer age of mythology as microsoft's best product,but uniting the whole world und...

Codename- Panzers

5 stars (A must have!!!) - Codename: panzer is a WWII rts game that let you play as the German, Allied(American and British), and the russian in each of it three campaign. Player won't be able to build barrack and war factory like in most rts game. Instead they will control a small amount of units through a series of tactic and strategy. Here are the pro of the game: tank and infantry unit have stunning detail all three campaign are quite long and are a blast to play your infantry unit actually play a vital role in this game and the cons of the game: skirmish mode is limited more unit to command would be better can't zoom in all the way Population cap only reach up to 25 units pathfinding problem still exist where are the unit scatter mode? tanks and infantry take way too many shot before being kill cutscene are below expectation Futhermore if you are a WWII junkies or anyone who just like to play rts game without the hassle of micromanagement, then this game is a must have to your collection. So, go out and buy it now!!! 5 stars (best 20 buck i ever spent!!!) - Yeah it the best dame 20 buck i ever spent! It actually better than i thought. 2 time better looking than the picture on the box. It an excellent game but not perfect. Let talk about the cons of the game, but before i started i would like to thank this one person that said he wouldn'd review the game if it wasn't good and everyone else that gave this game a positive review. First of all the anti-tank doesn't shoot that far, i know it not realalistic but it could be farther. That other goes for tanks and other unit. The snipers infantry is an good example of a bad idea. i was playing this mission where you have to destroy the v-12 rocket base and my sniper were actually useless and here why, even the german submachiner could kill my snipers. In another word they don't shoot that far. Another another flaw in this game and as almost other game is the cutscene is that the cutscence is stripped s...

Axis - Allies

2 stars (Mediocre to Poor) - Like other reviewers, I was disappointed with the game. I was anticipating a game, similar to the previous PC A&A game (i.e. the real board game) with better AI. The designer liberally violated the A&A rules and made an entirely different game for the worse. I like RTS game (Command & Conquer being one of my favorites) but not when I wanted to play a board game, and I simply could not get into playing RTS of this A&A. Having said this, this game (without RTS) is still playable (and somewhat enjoyable), if you can accept the fact that it is not A&A. Still the game has many BASIC shortcomings, including: - Bad font choice. I cannot read how much money I have at any given time because some numbers are indistinguishable. The same goes to figuring out how much money you make by occupying a particular territory. - You cannot play more than one country at once. - No differences (or at least no noticeable differences) among three generals, who represent each country. Perhaps there are differences in RTS, but I don't know. - No game options (like changing the winning conditions to capture all capitals when playing Axis) Next time, I hope the game maker will make a good bug-free software that represents the board game (rather than something else) and focus more on making better AI. Better graphic is nice, but that's really not why I'm buying a game. 1 stars (Stalemate after stalemate) - This game does a terrible injustice to the original Axis and Allies board game. At first, I thought this game would be wonderful and, I too, eagerly shelled out the $50 dollars to buy it. I think that this game can be put into a simple formula: Low Unit Limit (20) + Large Map + Low Building Limit (20) = Stalemate. Granted, I got through most of the missions, but by the time I was in the Pacific Theater on Iwa Jima, I just had to quit. I was so bored with this game. There's very little strategy and it can quickly turn into a World War I trench warfare type...

Nexus- The Jupiter Incident

4 stars (Pretty Good Space Combat Game) - This game is pretty well made. The graphics are great, the various weapons armed on the various ships are deadly, and the explosions are surprisingly realistic. I personally found this game to be slightly shorter than I expected and it came with a few bugs that would crash after I did a certain thing. In one mission you have to destroy a certain ship and it would be the first ship I went for (naturally). After I destroyed it, the game crashed... I found out that I had to destroy a smaller ship before destroying the objective to bypass the bug. The multiplayer is pretty good, though you'll rarely find someone online. I suggest you buy this with another game for the same price in mind so you can return it and have a Plan B. 5 stars (Very realistic and well done!!!) - If you are fond of good graphics and a bit of a challenge, then this game is for you. I played the demo version and I can say I enjoyed it despite the sophistication in graphics, ambiguity in space and multitude of commands and functions. I had to play it many times to fully understand what was going on. I really suggest playing the demo version first to get yourself comfy with the sophisticated graphics of the game because this game enables you to view battlefields and manipulate spaceships from any direction in the mutlidimensional space and you soon realize how different this game is from any terrestrial strategy game. Enjoy!!! 4 stars (Excellent Graphics) - The graphics for this game are absolutely amazing. However, the gameplay is very linear yet grasping. Once the game is started, you won't want to stop until the story ends. You even get tied up in the extremely intense battles later in the game. ...

5 stars (Great Immersion, Unsuitable Language For Some) - Never bought a WWII title before, and I had heard good things about this title, so I figured I would give it a try. Gameplay is very intuitive, controls are easy to master in a short period of time. Until you figure out the little things that help succeed in a mission, you can end up doing a mission over several times. Good graphics - great immersion between graphics, sound, and the stress of trying to complete a mission with bullets whizzing by you. ONE thing...In striving for realism, there is some offensive language. I am sure that soldiers on D-Day weren't saying "Golly Gee - someone is shooting at me", so I get their drift. But the truth is, be prepared for it...It starts during the opening scenes. You will hear F***,A**h***, and S*** during the game. There are a few gruesome bodies in the game, but nothing major. All in all, a great game, but not for children, and not for those who don't want that language coming from their speakers. 5 stars (A great game indeed!) - If you want a realistic WWII game, then buy this one. If you want a simple run-'n-gun shooter, then look elsewhere. You won't be charging around killing scores of enemies within minutes either (but you will kill enough to satisfy your trigger finger!). The utter authenticity and feels-like-you're-there atmosphere is absolutely amazing, as is some of the blood and gore one might witness in combat (during certain chapters of the game). But even when you see some of your comrades simply lying still and dead on the ground ahead of you, this game really makes you feel for them -- along with somewhat better understanding the waste of human life that occurs during war. A great game indeed! 2 stars (Some good points, but disappointing.) - Overall, my sense of this game is that if it had come out before Call of Duty it would have been considered ingenious. If Call of Duty 2 integrates squad-based features into its already fantastic game pl...
