This game was phenominal, absolutely brilliant. The graphics were refreshingly good, the gameplay was thrilling throughout the whole thing and the language 'cursing the name of god', did nothing to change the playability of this game. The first commentor needs to realise that 1) the company is not trying to kill any deities 2) you are not exactly the target audience for these games 3) a few words does not make the game any less fun, so calm down.

Recommended for WW2 Addicts

This is my first Call of Duty game and I was a big noob at it. I beat the game in 4 days. Very realistic and a very good first person shooter game.

Pros:
Realistic missions
Classic firearms
Excellent Graphics
Missions where you could fly B-24s and use tanks

Cons:
Very Short. only 13 missions
Should be more challenging. You should protect your squad. They only die when they're supposed to

Overall: Its a very short game. It's like an 8 hour game. The storyline is very short but is for all WW2 addicts. Good choice of weaponry. A must get for anyone obsessed with WW2 or just likes to blast peoples heads off with a Springfield.

Please, grow up.

Okay, let's get a few things straight. I am an atheist. I like this game. I could go into Amazon's book section and rate every "Holy Bible" a 0 because I don't agree with them. However, I won't. Amazon's review system is made for people to review items for quality, fun, and usability. It is not designed to allow people to jam their religion down other's throats. Please, objectively review this game.

Graphically, this game looks wonderful. The motions of the characters are fluid, and look realistic. The weapons look real, and even the shells and muzzle flash are realistically modeled.

In the gameplay department, I was blown away. I've played lots of FPS's such as Battlefield 2:MC, Halo 1&2, More MOH games than you can beat with a stick, and this was just amazing. The storyline moved me in a way I have never been moved by an FPS. Every weapon fires realistically, recoil is accurately modeled, and the entire experience is just amazing.

Finally, the sound is awesome. If you've watched G4, they had an Icons special on this game. They took every weapon to a firing range and recorded its sound with multiple microphones.

In light of all these factors, and by objectively reviewing this game, I deem it worthy of a 5.

Very Entertaining!

Call of Duty: Finest Hour was one of the most frantic first-person shooters I had played in a while. Call of Duty 2: Big Red One is and upgrade. This game is action-packed and the sound is amazing. Very realistic! Graphics aren't as good as Finest Hour and I wasn't as amazed with the explosions as I was with Finest Hour. But, the game makes up for it! Awesome game! Online is MUCH better than Finest Hour! I found myself literaly ducking for cover as incoming mortars pounded down. Online gameplay is great! Again, the explosions aren't as good in online. But, the rest is great. The problem I have online, though, is getting into a game. I think it's just my network connection but I sometimes get kicked off (not from being booted). Anyways, Get this game!

This game rocks

This game is not only a great game, but also a staisfying one because it beats out its predecessor, Call of Duty: Finest Hour. Call of Duty 2 has a wide variety of guns, tanks, and other weapons. It is very fun to play in single-player mode with the great AI and thrilling levels. Now, many games either have great sinle-player or great xbox live gameplay (Halo 2's Single Sucked, but live is fun), however, this game is one of the few (especially out of all shooters) that are fun both ways. Xbox live contains several very fun maps with great places to camp, snipe, etc. on every one, making it a great game to play online. It just combines great graphics (for xbox, i know compared to xbox 360 its nothing) and a great variety of weapons and places to play to make one of the best shooters ever for xbox, whether you have xbox live or not. This game is worth every penny.

Excellent

I loved this game. It gives you a chance to realize what real people really did. I have a lot more respect for soldiers after playing this game. You start as a private in a squad in the First Infantry Division, or Big Red One. The AI is very good and the way your squadmates flank and run, duck, jump is just amazing. The weapons are easy to learn to use. You try to protect your squadmates thru 13 missions about an hour and 15 minutes apiece, tops. You do 2 beach landings, take an airfield, take two towns,and take out nebelweefers and 88's and other artillery. It is not worth 45 or 50 bucks because you beat it so fast. You should rent it once or twice to beat it, and then when the price drops run out and buy it.

THE SECOND BEST GAME OF THE YEAR!!!!

I think this is the second best game of the year because of it's really good graphics and the fact that it's a war game.My favorite thing about this game is the weapon selection and when you shoot an enemy you actually see blood come out of them.This is probably the most realistic looking game i have ever played.I give this game five stars for it's excellent graphics.

Better then the first by far.

I thought this game was alot better then the first. Well about 70% of your misssions were in a tank and it got tedious. So I picked this game up and I was tottally blown away. Theres more of a story this time it concentrates on 1 unit instead of branching off like the first. This game also lets you fight battles on land, sea, and air. I would reccomend this game to anyone who likes action or anybody wanting a good game.

EXCELANT GAME

Call of Duty Big Red One is the best WW2 game I ever played. The AI is much smarter and the weapons are realistic. If you want an ecciting game with a little bit of WW2 history than buy this game.
