This is one of the best Gamecube games released so far. The graphics squeeze out every last bit of power the Gamecube has to offer. The gameplay is excellent and the sound effects are second to none. A couple levels are a bit "off course" like the bombing mission and dogfight, but they do not last long. The German and American uniforms & weapons are spot on as is the enemy AI. These guys take cover and stay there. Some of the animation is great, such as the time I tossed a grenade into an enemy machine gun nest and the explosion blew the gunner into a tree....where he hung in the branches. Very cool. As the last wave of games hit the Nintendo, now is the time to see what this little box is capable of. Call Of Duty 2 is about 80% as good looking as the X Box 360 version, and that's an amazing feat!

In Call of Duty 2, you play as a private who moves up to corporal and then sargeant. The graphics in this game are excellent. The game play is awesome. I recommend this game to everyone who loves WW2 video games.

Note for parents - the reason the game is rated T is for mild language, violence, and some blood. Not real looking blood though. The blood looks like powder.

Overall, this is one of my favorite games.

This game was awsome! I really felt like I was in the game with the first person view. What I really liked was the the bonus material. If you love to learn about war then check it out because it gives you descriptions of the weapons and other war materials. There were a few glithes and they were major. Like when I had to destroy flak 88s in small pits at Mons. After I set the TNT when I tried to get out... I GOT STUCK!!! The explosion doesn't kill you so the only solution is to take a grenade and hold it in your hand and then you die from that explosion. Also, this only happened once and will probably happen in any other game is that at Piano Lupo (A Level)I fell through the solid ground and I couldn't even use a grenade to kill myself. And in a mission on a plane when you get to a certain point the game freezes and I have to restart it but don't fear it doesn't do that all the time. Other than that I loooooved the weapons. You get maybe over 20 different weapons and could pick up an enemy's gun and get ammo from other guns of the same type. I really enjoyed this game!
