Storyline

The 3rd Reich has rose to power in the European Theatre; the allies have united and begun their assault on multiple fronts. I have boarded the crowded and disease-spreading cattle cars heading to the Russian front with my fellow comrades. With an M1 Carbine in my hand, and 15 bullets in my pocket, I hit the snow running. Welcome to Call Of Duty 2... The latest installment to the ever more popular Infinity Ward franchise WWII era first person shooter. Over the course of the years 1941-1945, including 27 equally challenging missions, you will take the role of infantry on all fronts of the war. Pushing the German offensive out of Russia, Africa, and straight to the homeland of Germany with an impressively intelligent squad of comrades at your side, and an assortment of weapons at your disposal.

Goofs

At the conclusion of the "Defending the Pointe" mission, taking place on June 7, 1944, American tanks arriving from Omaha beach are shown equipped with "rhino" hedgerow cutters. These were field expedient modifications for dealing with the bocage country behind the beaches and were not developed until late June 1944. They were made using steel cannibalized from German beach obstacles.

User Reviews

first great game for the 360 (deffinately not the last)

This was one of the first xbox 360 games that I bought, and along with Project Gotham Racing 3 and the recently released DOA 4 are proof that the 360 is indeed a next-generation system. The game look pretty good on a regular TV set, but on a HD capable TV with surround sound the superb game truly comes to life with amazing graphics and intense sounds. The bullets whizzing by your head, the fights your fellow soldiers are engaging in, and all the other sounds truly immerse you deeply in the game. Of course any true hardcore game wouldn't try the game in anything less than the Veteran setting, which is particularly unforgiving (especially the later American levels) All in all this is a simply great game and is one of the few MUST OWN ones if you managed to get your hands on a 360. It rivals any but the most maxed out computers currently out.

My Grade: A

(note: this review was written at the time of the game's release, but since the page on it didn't exist on IMDb then, I'm posting it now)
