If you like fun war games and are tired of fighting the Germans all the time this game is great. I think most people forget there was just as much if not more fighting in the Pacific. Do not listen to all those game geeks the graphics are great for PS2. The best part is it is accurate in its history. It is also rated Teen which means kids can play it not just big kids if you know what I mean. I would like to see the game companies allow parents to turn the language off on some of these Mature games. This is a great Christmas gift to get kids who are 10 and above. Have fun.

This is a really really fun game. Great graphics, good variety of missions and easy to learn how to play. This will provide you hours of fun.

Also, there is a way to turn off the language and make it considerably less violent (elminate splattering blood), which is great if you have kids around the house.

I'm not a huge gamer, but this game is worth the money (particularly if you buy it used!)

I bought this for my 14 year old for Christmas. He has been playing it and loves it. He likes the graphics and the new situations in the game. He is the "expert" and he gives it a BIG THUMBS UP!
