DESCRIPTION
First-person shooter enthusiasts are drafted back to the European theatre of World War II, in Call of Duty 2: Big Red One, the follow-up to 2004's successful Call of Duty: Finest Hour. As many real-life veterans and history buffs will recognize, the sequel's subtitle is an affectionate name for the United States Army's most decorated division, First Infantry. Players take the role of a soldier among its ranks. In addition to a vigorous campaign that leads them past grim landmarks of war-torn Europe and Northern Africa, players are given an opportunity for some light role-playing, as the game's story encourages them to bond with their fellow soldiers. This sense of trust may even carry over to the battlefield, where communication and cooperation are critical. As in an actual firefight, blindly storming an enemy location with guns blazing is seldom the best way to win battles in Call of Duty 2, but enhanced squad commands allow wise soldiers to outmaneuver nearly any opponent, through tactics and teamwork. ~ T.J. Deci, All Game Guide

“This was a very decent game, not the best by any stretch of the imagination but decent. the controls were a bit tight but I'd rather that than having to destroy my thumbs just to direct my soldier to the right place. Solid game at the time though....”
“This was a very decent game, not the best by any stretch of the imagination but decent. the controls were a bit tight but I'd rather that than having to destroy my thumbs just to direct my soldier to the right place. Solid game at the time though. There were some bug issues that never got handled, or maybe they did I don't remember. The one downfall of this game was that everyone else was cranking out games that were very similar and in the grand scheme of things it didn't shine amongst the rest.”

“Well-designed levels and a constant awareness of danger all around you make this one hell of a war game. You learn to appreciate the value of cover and a good head shot. :) It's a shame you can't change the story and save your doomed comrades though.”
