It’s the middle of WWII and you find yourself at the frontline of the offense in this realistic war shooter Call of Duty 2. Once again the creators have managed to capture the feel of the battlefield in this great game andto let you see what happened in the war.
Graphics: 7 / 10
The graphicsgraphics, though nothing ground breakingbreaking, defiantlydefinitely do the job. The explosions not only looklook, but also feelfeel, as if they are right next to you. The lighting varies, but it doesn’t effectaffect the screen as much as it shouldshould. whichThis defiantlydefinitely makes it a little less enjoyable when you go from the daylight to a building with no lights and you can see everything in the same.same light. The smoke effectseffects, howeverhowever, are incredible and act almost like real smoke. It covers thick and blocks visionvision, but it doesn’t move at all aswhen someone goes through it andit. thereThere are no wind effects at all. The weapons are by far the best graphically though asgraphically. theyThey look exactly like a real life replicareplicas of the guns that they are supposed to be.
Sound: 9.5 / 10
The sound in this game is one of the stand outstand-out features. All of themthe weapons soundssound like they do in real life andlife. evenEven without surround soundssound, you can hear whether or not it is coming from the front, left, right, or back. Voices are easily understoodunderstood, but can be drowned out by the sounds of the battlefieldbattlefield, which is nice and realistic, butrealistic. thereThere are times wherethough, when this just doesn’t work because you need to hear andan important objective or detail.
Controls: 10 / 10
The controls are very simplistic and within 5five minutes of playingplaying, the controls seemed very familiar and there was no question of what buttons did what. It follows simple first-person shooter controls with a few variationsvariations, so if you pick the controller up having played first-person shooters beforebefore, you will easily master these controls at the start,start. theyThey are also simple enough that if you first pick up the game having no experience with shootersshooters, you will easily grasp them.
Gameplay: 9.5 / 10
To sum it up in a single wordword, the gameplay in this is awesome. The A.I. is a strong opponent on all difficulty settingsettings and actacts with great precision and strategy asstrategy. theySoldiers will retreat to regroupregroup, then come take defensive positions where they can hit youyou, but you can notcannot easily hit them.
The game plays just like any other game in this genre, but the difficulty and the objectives make it much more enjoyable then other games like Halo 2 which get repetitive over time. The only downside is that it isis, of coursecourse, a story that we already knowknow, so we can predict how the game flows.
Overall: 9 / 10
OverallOverall, this game is a great WWII game thatthat, unlike otherothers, will hold your interest and make you want more. Once again the Call of Duty series has left me in awe with their great installment in the series. I recommend picking this up if you like shooters and enjoy an overall fun challenging game.
