Game Description: Write a Review

There will
probably never be a definitive World War II action game, for the
simple fact that so many new ones are released each year. Call of
Duty 2: Big Red One should certainly be the last word on the current
console formats though--which means something at least.
Rather confusingly this has nothing to do with the subtitle-less
Call of Duty 2 on PC and Xbox 360. Whereas that game has the usual
mix of three different nationalities of soldier to control, Big Red
One has you playing the same soldier throughout the whole game. You
do get to do quite a bit of sight seeing though with missions in
North Africa, Italy, France, Belgium and Germany.
The Big Red One of the title is the nickname of a famous American
infantry division and by sticking with them throughout the whole
game you do get a much better sense of camaraderie than previous
Call of Duty games. Unfortunately it also means that the game seems
perilously close to the already excellent Brothers in Arms, except
without the strategy bits.
No war game ever seems to do its action quite like Call of Duty
though and the set pieces here tread that difficult line between
cinematic bombast and harrowing realism perfectly. Big Red One won’t
have the same impact on the gaming world as the first Call of Duty
games, but it nevertheless looks like having a very good chance of
being a better game. |
