Product Description
What if the United States never entered WWII until WWII came knocking at its front door? What if you were among the last of the resistance, struggling almost single-handedly to hold back the tide of US occupation by the Nazi war machine? In Turning Point's alternate reality, the untimely death of Winston Churchill in 1931 leads to the fall of Great Britain and Europe as they surrender to Hitler in 1940. From this pan-European power base, the German war machine re-equips itself to launch an unstoppable takeover of the United States. As a civilian caught in the middle of these new battlegrounds, fight afresh against the world's most notorious war machine on the streets of Manhattan, Washington DC, and beyond. Use guerrilla tactics and the surroundings to overcome superior post-war Axis weaponry and fight the Occupation. You are Dan Carson, a New York construction worker. You've watched as war enveloped the globe for over a decade and Europe fell to Nazi rule. Russia is now occupied, as are large areas of Asia. An uneasy alliance between the Germans and Japanese persists. The Nazis now look to the United States - the last major prize in their pursuit of world domination. New York is hit first as an overwhelming Nazi army invades. Zeppelins are the battleships, the blimps are the landing craft and the rooftops of downtown Manhattan are the beaches. Armed paratroopers descend on to the streets; the city is taken block by block. War becomes personal. Stunning soundtrack from renowned composer Michael Giacchino, famous for lost, Alias and Mission - Impossible III, among many others

This is the typical first person game. It's set up as if we were invaded during WWII, and it starts in NY with you joining the ARMY to help defend against the attacker. The game is very fun but the graphics are not as good as I would like. I would recommend it for the gameplay though. Try it out!
Complete Letdown April 5, 2008

This game was a complete letdown. I agree with the other reviewers that the story line was a good idea, but in the end it was presented horribly. I played through the first level and put the game back in its case due to dissapointment in graphics, motion and shooting. The game comes no where near close to pushing the envelope of the PS3. I regret spending the $60US to buy it.

I rented this game from Blockbuster, because I thought the premise of the game sounded fantastic, but the preview video looked a little rough. Well the game turned out to be a little rough as well. PS2 style graphics, the bad guys will just charge you while you shoot them down. the list goes on and on... I played it for two days and took it back early. I am giving this 2 stars overall only because the "what if" history story is cool.
The online game play was pitiful as well.
Too bad because I think they creators had a great idea, just bad follow through.

I bougth the game for my son who finished the game in 4 days, this game wasn't hard enough for what I payed for. He is 11 year old kid and loves history, although is just a game he wanted to learn more how cruel were the nazis and I just wanted to know how it would be like, from another point of view, if the Nazis would win the WWII.
Wait for the 19.99 Bin. March 8, 2008

Upon starting Turning Point: Fall of Liberty, you can see right off the bat that this game is lacking in several categories. The graphics are flat out terrible. I feel like I'm playing a PS2 game at some points, though the background during game play are not all bad. As far as scenery goes, there were some moments that were cool (i.e. Zeppelin docked to the Tower Bridge in London) but everything else was fairly normal. This game also has a serious problem with loading, and believe me you'll know what I mean when you see it. You'll be walking and the game will stutter or stop for 2 or 3 seconds and then you'll keep going. It's flat out annoying.
Game play is not atrocious, but 2 things that did bother me.
1) Your trigger is R2 and to aim is L2, so if you are at all used to playing pretty much any other shooting genre of game, it's gonna take some getting used to. And you will die a lot from this, Because R1 (where the trigger should be) is your GRENADES, which don't go very far no matter how much you want them too.
2) When you stand in front of most things to activate them (e.g. an elevator button, a lever) You have to move around to find EXACTLY the right spot. There was more than on occasion when I activated a switch and I was standing OUTSIDE the elevator.
I would certainly rent the game for the sheer storyline (which I did) before you do anything. I also liked the cool Environmental dependent hand to hand situations you can have with the Nazi's (throwing them off a bridge, crushing them under trucks, etc.) Just complete the game on "easy," return it, and go buy Call of Duty 4.
