DESCRIPTION

Ubisoft's acclaimed World War II series makes a surprise appearance on Nintendo DS as a third-person 3D shooter that will take new recruits through 16 missions in Normandy, Tunis, and Ardennes. The action is viewed within the top screen as players aim, adjust the camera, and toss grenades using the touch-screen display. One of the franchise's key features is its cinematic storyline, and DS owners will be able to immerse themselves in the drama with in-game chatter and scripted dialogue between soldiers. Available weapons and equipment include bazookas, sniper rifles, and binoculars, with the DS offering a more streamlined control scheme that automates certain actions, from replenishing health to using walls for cover. In addition to the three single-player campaigns, soldiers can challenge up to three of their friends in Deathmatch and Team Deathmatch multiplayer modes. ~ Scott Alan Marriott, All Game Guide
