Psychosocial
Violent serenity.
Hello guys. Back to you with a new review. Been playing this game since quite a while. I have one word "AMAZING". The BEST WW2 shooter I have played. The graphics are great, gameplay is authentic but the best is the story. The story is so great that it beats many other FPSes leave alone WW2 shooters. Lets move on to the review now.
Graphics (8/10) :-
Great work done! Good details present on the characters, weapons and other objects. The cutscenes are made with great care and the facial expressions look very real. The lightning and stuff is great too! There is one flaw with it though, the water. Large bodies of water (rivers, lakes) look like complete POS. Hope they will take care of it in the next game
. Otherwise, great work here.
Sound (9/10) :-
Great sound and amazing voice overs. Some of the best voice acting I have experienced. Apart from that, the ingame sounds are great too. The guns sound like they should and explosions are also decent.
Story (10/10) :-
The story is just mind-numbing. Its so great. Its better than many games leave alone war games. Its unimaginable how the devs fit in such a story in a WW2 based game. Simpy awesome. The story follows the path of Sgt. Matthew 'Matt' Baker and his allies. Telling anything more will spoil it. It shows the turmoil of war and the pain of losing your friends. It displays the hardships one has to face to supress a guilty secret within you. The game is a must play for its story only. There is gonna be a sequel too as it was shown 'To Be Continued' at the end.
Gameplay (9/10) :-
Great work here too. Its basically a squad based action game. You get to control various squads (Base Fire, Assualt, MG Squad and Bazooka Squad). It depends on the missions as to which squad you will get to control. In the beginning you get to control Assualt and Bazooka. Then Assualt and Base Fire. As you near the ending (last 3-4 missions), you will get to control Base Fire, Assualt and MG. The shooting is mostly like a normal FPS with cover tactics like Gears of War and R6 Vegas. You can duck behind an object and pop out and shoot. It works rather smoothly. There are 3 missions in which you get to control a tank. Its great. The tank works flawlessly. The game's physics are good and its nice to see the limbs of the Germans flying. All in all, its good. Though it has some flaws. The reloading is very awkward. Sometimes you dont get to see the reloading animation but the weapon is reloaded and sometimes you can only hear the reloading sound and not see the animation. Another on is the grenade system. Its messed up. I was hardly able to throw grenades where I wanted to! But these can be over looked.
Final Verdict :-
Definitly recommanded. It will last for a good time too! Took me 9 hours to complete the SP campaign. The story alone is worth it.
