Do you like longer than needed cut scenes? Do you like ham fisted quick time events? Do you like shooting the enemy in the head with a .45 ACP three times before they die? Do you like having the game be completely opaque as to what you're supposed to be doing sometimes only to at other times clearly post the objective on your screen only for you to explode as soon as you reach the objective, restarting your last check point two or three times until finally you no longer randomly explode when you reach the objective? If so, this is the game for you!

But, it's not for me. Well . . . there are times I feel it's not for me.

I want to like this game. I've wanted to like this game since I first heard about it. COD going back to it's roots? A new WWII COD game?! This sounds amazing!

And there are some things I like about it. The controls are tight, the graphics are completely lovely, and aside from the aforementioned randomly exploding and seemingly bullet proof nazis that appear every now and then, the combat is nice. But, the things I did mention does get in the way of the game being fun. I can be going through blasting nazis in the head, watching their helmets pop off their heads as they crumble onto the ground when suddenly, one of them that got blasted in the melon, now with bloody face and a head with no helmet, gets up and starts shooting at me. I'm all like, "What the ♥♥♥♥?! Why am I taking damage from the right? I cleared the right!"

Then there he is, nazi with his brain matter in all places but inside his skull accurately shooting me with a K98. Either there are things about German soldiers that I simply didn't know about, or this game has some problems.

It doesn't happen every time, but it has happened enough for me to take note of it ever time I've played. My other gripes, like the cut scenes and the quick time events are annoying, but I could live with them. However, mixing those elements in with one in every ten or so enemies getting back up after being fed a hot lead casserole (Us yanks love our bullets and we love our casserole . . . 'MURICA!) makes the game difficult for me to want to proceed.

Which, by the way, I probably will proceed. It may become to absurd and therefore frustrating for me to finish this game, but I will definitely try. Like I said, there are definitely good things about this game, but there are other things that feel lazy and unpolished. It's too bad that Steam only offers a thumbs up or a thumbs down. I would more or less give this a thumb sideways with the hopes that they would eventually release a patch to fix some of this up. Then I would change it to a thumbs up, but for now, it'll have to maintain a thumbs down.

[POST EDIT]

Got to the tank part. It is a broken mess. Stay away from this game.
