This game ROCKS

The Good
WWII Online gives you the freedom to go anywhere and shoot anyone. Normal first person shooters send you down "alleys" and there is no diversification allowed. Well this game has broken that mould and you are free to explore! There is also the freedom to walk, drive and fly in most of the equipment available at the time. The rank system allows the more experienced the better "toys" and this saves wasting your countries resources on noobs. The overall experience is absorbing and the players can group in different squads resembling units from that era. I joined the 3rd Panzergruppe and we have over 100 members playing on and off.

The Bad
It can control your whole life it is so addictive. Lag is a problem and if you are up against an opponent with a better spec computer he tends to get the jump on you.

The Bottom Line
If you can afford it give it a go it's excellent. Please do not blame me if your partner leaves you due to excessive game play!!!
