Makes a change from WW2

The Good
Graphics are good and the weapons are quite realistic looking. Doesn't take long to get used to the controls. Quite an immersive story line.

The Bad
Too rigid in its story line. Controls are sometimes awkward to use. Sometimes the soldiers in your squad disobey orders from you. The scripted breaks for radio transmission disrupt the flow of the game. Hard to judge the throw of your grenades. If you are engaged in a fire fight and bring in arty support your soldiers tend to get killed because they wont stay put and advance on the enemy. It is very hard to climb over logs etc, you need to be in just the right position. There is only a VERY poor firing range with which to acclimatise yourself to new weapons.

The Bottom Line
Not a patch on Medal of Honour, but a refreshing change from WW2 all the same
