The game is pretty good, it leaves you with a good feeling, like after you eat a slice of cheesecake. There is a lot of room for improvement, however, for an old game as this, can't complain. The limited edition is pretty sweet, love the action figure.

I will admit that run and gun is fun for a while, but realism is what makes a tactical shooter game, especially a WWII-based game, more appealing to me. Each mission requires you to think tactically in order to complete each operation successfully. You can even reload the level and try a different tactical maneuver. I encourage everyone to try the game first on the easy level just to get use to the controls. They are slightly different from your traditional shooter setups. Second, after completing the easy setting, try it again on Normal difficulty, and if you are really adept, try the authentic mode where all assistance is turned off and requires a higher skill level to complete. The enemy AI on the Normal and Authentic difficulty settings will definitely challenge you. One shot can kill you - so no heroes are made here. The game has a high replay value in my opinion, since the enemy AI does not behave the same each time.

I'm still playing and enjoying this game long after buying it. Although I wish the controls hadn't been changed from the first two (PS2) games and were more like most of the other games I play, I've gotten used to them. More importantly, the story of this game makes sense, and the opportunity to move 2 fire teams into a position that allows me to flank the enemy adds to the game's challenge, fun and satisfaction. Anyone who enjoys playing WWII games, great music, an engrossing story, and challenging game play should enjoy this game. At this point, my main disappointment is that the Battle of the Bulge sequel has not been released.
