This game is superb - one of the best world war games out there - but i still think that brothers in arms hells highway is better.

The graphics are the best I have personally seen on the PS3 console - only slightly better than COD4. The environments are spectacular - whether your in a jungle or a town street - it looks awesome - as good as looking out of the window at the same environments. There was times where i would cease fire and just look at how spectacular the environments are.

The character models aren't the best I have seen - but they are very good - and like the rest of the game feels very lifelike. The guns look awesome - although the guns available are standard for the war games - they look awesome - they feel so powerful - and there is so much ammo around. I have to say the addition of the flamethrower is really good - once you get your hands on this - you can enjoy the amazing fire effects - and the easy time you get - you basically sail through.

The sound is just like the graphics - awesome. The guns sound so realsitic it is unbelievable - the character voices are very good - the voice acting is superb. The bombs sound a bit weak in my opinion - but they do the job if you cook them.

The sound of the rain - the sound of the enemy dying - the sound of the water - the wind - all sounds awesome - you really feel that you are in the war and fight for your survival. Everything sounds awesome overall - sound is very important in games - and the sound takes this game to the next level.

The gameplay is also very good - there are so many enemies to kill - and the firefights are so intense - you find yourself ducking for cover and using some tactics to force the enemy back. I do feel that a cover system should have been added - I mean if I was in a war - I would appreciate the abiity to use objects as cover properly instead of just ducking behind them.

The environments are stunning - and the objectives get you to explore these environments - you will be taken to many areas such as the jungle and the street. You will have to take out tanks - call air strikes - disable AA guns - take out hiding snipers. The gameplay is so good - its so fun to play - its so fun I completed the campaign in one sitting (8 hours).

There are many things i like about this game;

I like the camaflouge enemies that hide in the trees.
I like the ability to lay on your stomach and sliver across the floor to stay out of site.
I like the similarities to COD4.

The story is pretty much the same as all of the other world war 2 games - but it tells the story well. The campaign is slightly longer than COD4 which is good. There are so many missions I can remember - my fav mission usually come when alone with dimitri - he is a really good character - the stealth parts are well done.

Overall the game is superb and really shows what the PS3 can do - it shows also that there is still life in the WW2 games.
