Call of Duty 2…Where Eagles Dare

Magic (war-gaming) moments:
first it was Omaha Beach in Medal of Honor…
Then it was Volga crossing in Call of Duty…
Now Call of Duty 2.

You can say it is the same old game in WWII scenario, I agree.
But when You see it on 32’’ Tv widescreen with beasty PC graphics, stunning effects (the smoke effect is really superb) and 5.1 surround sound pumping in your ears, you can be really happy.
Play it at veteran difficulty and you’ll enjoy the most immersive WWII experience as seen in great war movies as Saving Private Ryan, Brothers in Arms and so on.

Plus:
- immersive WWII experience
- really good gamepad controls, you won’t regret trusty old mouse and keyboard (finally!).
- very good graphics and stunning effects
- awesome sound (with 5.1 speakers system)
- good AI for Allies, especially in covering.

Minus:
- Same old (good) Nazi-turkey shooting
- Too easy at default difficulty (veteran difficulty is much more rewarding)
- It doesn’t last long.

I’m not interested in multiplayer so I can’t say anything, but everyone said it is not so good as single player is.
