As a result of a marine blockade Great Britain is on the verge of catastrophe, and Germany is about to begin tests of a new type of submarine that can end the war faster than anyone ever suspected. Winston Churchill personally orders commandoes to obtain information on the location of the new U-Boot and instructs them to destroy it. The player takes on the role of a select British commando from the British Royal Marines. During their mission they fight in France, on a Norwegian island of Vågsøy, and in the African desert mines. Their tasks include stealing out documentation, freeing prisoners captured by the Gestapo, destroying tanks, or capturing fortified enemy positions. Battlestrike Force of Resistance II-Welcome to the Eastern Front...Surrender is Not and Option.

As a special Russian operative you must go behind the Eastern front lines, infiltrate the Nazis and stop them from producing this deadley agent. Save the city, and turn the tide of war.

1.0 out of 5 stars A word to the wise: Listen, April 17, 2009

Fun:1.0 out of 5 stars 

Do not, I repeat do not buy this game. For me I can't even start the game and its not my computer specs either. I have a 2.6 ghz Core 2 Dual proccessor with 2 gigs of RAM and a 9800 GF ghx card so you can see that if you check the minimum requirments you'll know my PC blows them away. I installed the game but when i try to play it by clicking on the games icon or through the play disc it crashes back to the desk top everytime. If this is the case then I don't want the game and will demand the publisher for a full refund not a exchange. So take my sincere advise do not buy this game for its not worth risking your hard earned money for.

City Interactive creates and then publishes some pretty decent budget shooters. They will never compare to the triple-A stuff, but if you're just looking for a simple shooting fix, this particular package offers a pretty decent deal. Two WWII games in their Battlestrike series for one reasonable price. Each of these games runs 8 missions, so each game is pretty short, but taken together at 16 fairly long missions, it's comparable to a single full-length game. Each of these games uses the Jupiter-EX engine, so the graphics are actually pretty good, with a ton of adjustable options configurable from the main menu (though the menus and sub-menus took me a few seconds to figure out). The keyboard defaults to standard PC FPS controls, and the only key I needed to change was the 'crouch' key. All keys except the F5 (quicksave) and F9 (quickload) are re-assignable. I'm using Vista 64-bit, a Q6600 and a 9800GT at 1920 x 1200, and getting fairly playable rates with everything maxed. But for smoothest gameplay and best looks balance, I set both games to 1600 x 1080, where they seem to run the smoothest for me at max settings.

The game plays well enough, but it's nothing special. It is fun though, if you just need a good action-packed shooter fix. Had this been a full-priced game, I'd have knocked off another star, but with two short games included for a reasonable price, I think it's a good value as long as you keep your expectations realistic. City Interactive also has other games out there, and I've played most of them, and the quality is similar in all of them, with a few standing out as better: "Sniper: Art of Victory" is probably my favorite, since I like slower-paced and more thoughtful shooters (but don't get that one confused with "WWII Sniper: Call To Victory", which is also decent, but a much older game by a different studio).
