Hour of Victory

I bought Hour of Victory today and I played through part of the first mission and so far I like the game up to a certain point. I noticed right away the game has some good points and it has some bad points.

First with the good points. The graphics are really good and the enemy soldiers acts just the way you would expect them to. They run and hide for cover whenever they can. It is not real easy to get past the enemy soldiers. The A.I. is not too bad. At the beginning of the game there are three different soldiers with different skills you can choose to play throughout the game.

This game is terrible. I was looking forward to a new name in World War II shooters, but this is just more of the same done worse. The controls were a little annoying, but you'd get used to them. Graphics are no where near as good as they were saying they would be. Missions were boring and character specialties (Sniping, stealth etc.) were more a nuisance then a fun addition to the genre. I'd suggest picking up Call of Duty 2, its half the price and at least 5 times as good.

No ammount of hoping and wishing for a new quality game in this genre can change the utter piece of cr*p this game is. After just a few minutes I realized what HOV was, but forced myself to play an entire hour, not to be sure, but because I so much didn't want to to have wasted $60!
In over a dozen years of gaming, this is the first time I asked for my money back because "this game bl*ws"(thanks EB). Next time I'll believe the online peer reviews .
