Customer Review: ya mooks
Summary: 4 Stars
all the morons saying this game is unstable are clearly ignorant. Two things you need to keep updated ya bunch of idiots. 1) The game like all other games has bugs, so you need to update it with the autopatcher it comes with. Simple huh? End of problem. 2) Those saying their computers are fast, as in 2ghz and all that clearly don't realize that the actual graphics processing takes place in the video card which means you need to UPGRADE your pos video card in order to play this game. Other than a bunch of idiots with no experience in gaming complaining about how difficult it is to control wi/ so many keys, this game is awesome. How else are you to manage so many vast commands and controls besides the way it is already implemented in the game?
Anyway, the game is breathtakingly amazing, the AI could be better, storyline is very unique, sound and graphics are great. Stop complaining about your own inadequacies and get with the program - the game is legendary, buy it!!!

If it weren't for the quirky squad AI, this would be a five-star game yet I highly recommend it in smite of that. This game is a classic in my book. It's better to play this on Lone Wolf campaigns. The squad AI is too annoying for me. For example, if you tell a squad member to follow behind you, most of the time they will get ahead of you. Or, if you tell them to go somewhere, usually they make some round about path before eventually settling on where you want them to be but even then they sometimes miss your mark.All complaints aside, the game really shines as being one of the more realistic WWII game (or any other genre) out there. You have realistic weapons, the outdoor environments including the building interiors, and just the overall ambience. If you played Call of Duty, you might like the slower pace in H&D2. Stealth is heavily used and recommended. Yet unlike CD, this game has RPG elements. At the end of every mission, and depending what skills you used and the success of them, you increase your skills and abilities. This contributes to game longivity. As far as replayability, let's just say I've played thru this game about 5 times already and still not bored. Why? The game is sorta open-ended. You decide how you want to go about a mission: all out assault or stealth or both, using only certain weapons or all of them, do a certain task first before another or do them in order.
There will be a sequel according to Illusionworks. I can't wait. :)
Customer Review: Best all around
Summary: 5 Stars
I am constantly trying to find the next best war game. H&D2 is the best single player war game Ive played. Packed with hours of gameplay. well thought out and attention to detail makes it an even better game. things like taking a hostage and stealing their uniform. scavaging corpes for ammo and weapons. the ability to give orders to the other soldiers, gives an actual feeling of military rank, something all other games have not thought to tackle. It takes a while to complete a mission which is a good thing. its not fun when you run right through it and jump to the next one. lots more i could mention.cons: if you buy this game do not neglect to download any available patches. there are quite a few bugs, but the patches will fix these and the game will run fine.
also the training mission at the start of the game is terrible. most people wont get through it before they uninstall and find another game. the actual gameplay however is totally different....trust me. although it is a good concept and a nice touch to the game, not a single game ive played has had a good basic training mission. the idea is to teach you how to play the game before you actually start playing missions, but its just to arcade like to feel realistic. if your shooting for realism then why bother doing it "half-job". they should have your soldier get out of bed at 4:00 am and hussle to fall in rank. make it tough to complete the training and have you do pushups when you screw up. the obstacle course is totally weak. why not have your men go out on a night excursion and engage targets to simulate what combat will be like when you start doing actual missions. just my thoughts.
Customer Review: Beautiful - Riveting, a strategy game more than a shooter
Summary: 5 Stars
Just because you can play first person, do NOT think of this gloriously beautiful game as a shooter. If you do you'll be disappointed. It's a strategy game and almost a role playing game. You have to THINK and manage more than you have to shoot. This is absolutely NOT a game that's all about running headlong into danger with guns blazing. It's about crafting careful plans through deadly situations. That said, if you like chess as much as you like Half-Life, then you'll LOVE this game. It's provokes a perfect combination of thinking and adrenaline.
