This is based on the Second World War settings. Well you should know from the game settings and environments. You take the characters of soldiers from Russia, Britain and American at each game level. Well the game does have the same similarities with medal of honour.

I have been playing the game precisely for months now hoping to get the game concluded not that I am having problems in playing the game but devote time in other games. But the game is quite interesting with intelligent and calculative allied force men

GAME PLAY.
The game play is good and quite easy to learn but wont recommend the game to everyone. You are entitled to some things like driving the tanks and jeep. I have a lot of showdowns while going without a tank and what are the showdowns? Well the major problem that I am facing is that while moving with leg, it seems the game is in the slow mode and it affects me most while running away from enemies. Unfortunately the enemies are somewhat of bullets proofs because you some times inject almost half of your magazines inside their body and need some sniper shots to bring them down. Well some might wonder about head shots but pal it is not that easy because you might not get the whole chance in the game with your hands are vibrating like the analogue controller of the PS2 do to anxiety and tension. But to get a perfect head shot, relax and take the enemy unaware if it is only one soldier but if many, you got no other option than to hold the trigger for safety. But this pattern of shooting keeps the soldiers alert. You also have the ability to lean on the wall in order to get away from your enemies but not for a weapon like grenade. But you don't have to worry much about that; your medic pack can prolong you in the game. When your tank has received so many damages do to shoot outs with another tank rival, you have no other choice than to wait for tank health regeneration.

SOUND
The sound good and the most exiting aspect of it all is that there are acting good voices from some nice actors. Unlike in the medal of honour that in the first stage, has the D- day scene and music like. Music that tends to rhyme with the game shootings, game scene and the game atmosphere is not there. As you advance in level, the sound reduces because there are two many sounds in the first level of the game.

CONTROL.
Well the controls has the same similarities with other first person shooter games and as a FPS player, the controller won't pose a dilemma to you. But one thing that I am going to detail you about the control is that it does not favour when you are playing with the tank. This might lead you driving in the wrong directions hitting objects at times. There are 2 views that might see you through and they are first inside view and second view from behind the tank but I think the first view makes it easy to aim and shoot and the second view as another alternative when the first view gets off target. But on the overall ratings I will give the controller 2 out 5 stars, which is still poor.


GRAPHICS.
First person shooter (FPS) games have been encountering problems in graphics. The first FPS game that I played was in the play station one console and that was medal of honour that was graphically poor. Although the second medal of Honour that was released in the PS2 console was a great improvement but still similar to the previous version. In this game call up for duty, the graphics is not that good; enemies' faces and identities are poorly graphically represented.

GAME MODES.
There are few and very limited modes that make the replay value less. There are no co-op modes and multiplayer modes. I am still to know more about the game when I reach to the end of the game.

OTHER FACTORS.
There are other factors in the game like playing the game on line that can make it possible for up to 16 players to participate. But the game still slow.

I hope to get a more improved FPS in the ps3 console.
Bye.
