 PS3 Must Have! July 6, 2008
This is my all time favorite PS3 game so far! This is one of the best war games I have played in a long time. If you like WWII games like this then definately get this one you won't be disappointed!
 It is a great PS3 starter! May 5, 2008
Let me begin by saying, one of the other reviewers said this was a great way to begin your PS3 experience, I completely agree. I got my ps3 a few days ago, and it's the first shooter I played. I hope the next shooters I buy can keep pace!
To begin with, the graphics are ok but not really amazing. However, the story line and in game videos will really draw you into the thick of things. You'll really want to defend your colleagues, even if you don't think so at first. The gameplay is engrossing, and the controls, while not great, are sufficient. You will get many opportunities to use the sixaxis feature of the controller, so in that sense, it's a great introduction.
The elements of the game are comprehensive. You'll walk, run, drive, command tanks et al. I haven't even gotten to play the game on-line yet, so I won't review that feature, but expect it will be fun. My sole complaint is sometimes the AI leaves you to do a lot of the work, although you could just sit around and wait for them to do it. I might have to clear out a whole three story house with 16 Nazi's in it, my teammates will trail behind and shoot one or two of them. This is where not being able to give commands hurts, but I understand that wouldn't fit the nature of the game. All in all, I put two thumbs high in the air for this one.
GREAT GAME!!!!!!! April 26, 2008
This game has 14 levals of fun that you can play over,and over again. It is better than CODFH, and COD2. First buy this game than go buy call of duty 4.
 COA4 is more fun March 29, 2008
The game is good don't get me wrong it is also entertaining to play. The thing that ruins it for me though is the lousy way the weapons translate the way they aim. That is done mush better in COA4
 Good graphics but??? December 25, 2007
Got this game as part of my console purchase (along with R:FOM).
Have been playing it exclusively for last few weeks after finishing COD1 and 2 on PC. Only playing single player version.
Pro: Excellent graphics and sound.
Con: Excessive use of Sixaxis gets tiresome and repetitive. Example: twisting the joysticks to control mortors/heavy weapons where simple movements would be more effective particularly when FPS targeting is somewhat troublesome with this controller. In the level using a heavy weapon to destroy tanks/armored cars, the cursor went where it felt like and could not lead the targets for a decent kill chance. AI has continues parades of enemy, floating enemy, and own squad members moving into firing line and grenade toss area. The story line is inconsistent where one level you are American, next Polish, next French Reisistance. Very poor compared to original versions.
I recommend not buying and will unload this when I finish single player.
