Simply put, if you like the HBO series Band of Brother and the movie Save Private Ryan, you're gonna LOVE this game.
I really liked the Squad feature, where you command your guys to take position somewhere while you flank the enemies, pretty cool and fun.
It's a very easy game though (which can be a bad thing if you're looking for a challenge) and a little bit repetitive.
Graphics are obviously outdated by today’s' standards but still enjoyable.
One thing that is pretty awesome and innovative is the explosion mechanics in this game.
The first time you'll toss a grenade to 3 enemies hiding behind sand bags and you send them flying in slow motion, while one of them have been cut in half by the explosion with body parts flying everywhere it's quite the jaw dropping moment, SERIOUSLY!
The slow motion head shots mechanics were also pretty cool.
Story wise the game has a nice WW2 background and some story going on but I was expecting more from the characters, nothing groundbreaking and the story tends to drag a little bit.
Overall a solid 8/10 WW2 game.

This is a fantastic game for the WWII fan. If you enjoyed watching HBO's Band of Brothers, then you'll love playing this. I recommend starting with the first two on the original Xbox, but this game does a good job recapping the past games' events.
The shooting system has never been up to par with Call of Duty games or even Medal of Honor, but the story, setting, and characters is what makes this game worth your time.
