Conclusion
The challenge in a historical World War II game is that the game designers have to decide how much to make the game about history, and how much to make it about fun.
The game was remarkably stable. It never crashed on me. And I was sweaty and tense during the whole experience. When I finally pushed the Germans back and launched an all-out assault on the Siegfried Line, I was exultant.
The game offers a lot of game play and many hours of replayability. Despite a handful of flaws, I think it’s a great addition to the series.
Score: 85/100
