Weak

This Is Horrible! Keep Playing Call Of Duty!

I played some of this game. Why only some, you may ask. I am not gonna lie, this is the worst, most dysfunctional game I have played since the god-awful Batman Dark Tomorrow came out a few years back. The graphics are not spectacular Unreal 3.0, they look like an old Xbox game. I love World War II, and I enjoy the history, and the games that follow it. This game does not, contrary to the countless game advertisements they issued out. The game play sucks as well, since the Nazis hardly even put up a fight, and your allies look like melted Ken dolls. The whole 'class' gimmick they shoved into the ads as well, is half-baked at the best. The only character that matters is Ross, since you can make some Jerries scream like in other WWII shooters. The Sniper and spy class hardly are worth mentioning. Did I mention bugs? I had to restart several times 'cause the glitchy game kept locking up! Do yourself a favor, if you love games, continue playing Call Of Duty 2 and or 3, and do not touch this trash with a ten foot pole.

The only reason this game took me a week to beat was due to the very BORING and REPETATIVE campaign... Sure they made a nice effort with the different classes...but seriously the actions were very lame...i mean seriously.
The missions are either quick and effortless or long and boring... either way neither present much of a challenge.
Speaking of a challenge...the game gives you NO REASON WHAT SO EVER to want to play it on Hard or Veteran. No achievements, no reason to even bother. all of the levels give you an achievement for completion so there's no reason for the player to actually want to beat the levels other than for the achievements... which caused me to rush through it...

I liked 2 parts about the campaign... despite the lame storyline and pathetic attempt for different classes, the game did have a good physics engine, creating unique deaths and decent game play at times. the other thing i enjoyed was the fact that you lost every bullet that you still had in your clip when you reloaded. which made the game...more realistic i guess?...

It is a good game if your looking for easy achievements... so the campaign i'd have to give a 5.0 out of 10.0

Now the Multiplayer is absolutely horrible no matter how you look at it. It is so rediculously laggy that you can't even fire your gun 90% 0f the time...the maps are genearally huge and you can't even find someone to kill much less talk to... Every game you join is either boosters looking for easy achievements, or just too laggy to even enjoy.

The multiplayer gets a big goose egg from me.

0.0 out of 10.0

so it's only fair to average the 2...

My overall rating for Hour of Victory is 3.. I'll be nice and round up.

This game just stinks.

The graphics look like they would have been great in 1995. The gameplay is boring, there is no rubmle feedback from the weapons. The story is unrealistic and boring

Stay away
