5.0 out of 5 stars Hard Hitting Fun, November 18, 2004

A Kid's Review

= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: Call of Duty Finest Hour (Video Game)

I was a Medal of Honor fan so my expectations were low, but Call of Duty Finest Hour has renewed my excitement for the WW2 FPS. From the Heart-pounding first moments entering the battle of Stalingrad to the triumphant crossing of the Rhine, the epic experience hooked me into an all night War to defeat the Nazis. The graphics are amazing and the sound is fantastic. What I really enjoyed, was playing different kinds of soldiers in diverse locations like Africa and Russia. The control was superior to the last Medal of Honor release and the characters were much more interesting. If this is the first game for Spark, I look forward to seeing what they come up with next! Tally Ho!

5.0 out of 5 stars Makes You Think, December 15, 2004

I think this is a very fine game, its not an easy one and no cheat codes are up yet that I know about, so you,re on your own.
At that point basic combat tactics soon become obvious if you are to survive.
The graphics are very nice, play is active and exciting, its really a very good game, hope this company starts putting out more games, they did a really find job.
As far as EA games MOH, they are two different entities, EA games MOH you get a break, cheat codes, lots of on line info,but for a first time the makers of Call Of Duty did well.
Like others, I find the major irritation factor is getting almost finished and then getting killed and having to start the level all over again, these are not easy levels.
Being a stundent of WWII history, it seems that there was a lot of research put into this game, really shows.
So to briefly sum it up, its not perfect, but it still is excellent, I give this a 5+

3.0 out of 5 stars realistic, but not perfect, December 29, 2004

= Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: Call of Duty Finest Hour (Video Game)

I bought this game becuase my local bestbuy has it featured in a poster, and I thought it would be a good choice for on-line play. Honestly, I think this game is realistic enough, and the graphics are such that if you viewed it from a distance from your tv, it looks like a top-notch war-movie. A good feature of this game is that it let take up your rifle and aim down the sight, and release it as you lift the trigger, this provides much action and realism.

too few checkpoints, granades hit you too easily, damage effect very annoying, otherwise, ok game.
