Hard Hitting Fun

I was a Medal of Honor fan so my expectations were low, but Call of Duty Finest Hour has renewed my excitement for the WW2 FPS. From the Heart-pounding first moments entering the battle of Stalingrad to the triumphant crossing of the Rhine, the epic experience hooked me into an all night War to defeat the Nazis. The graphics are amazing and the sound is fantastic. What I really enjoyed, was playing different kinds of soldiers in diverse locations like Africa and Russia. The control was superior to the last Medal of Honor release and the characters were much more interesting. If this is the first game for Spark, I look forward to seeing what they come up with next! Tally Ho!

A Medal Of Honor.

This game reminded me of the first scene in the movie saving private ryan.Your first level you even start in a boat going ashore.This game is very simular to the first medal of honor game.With intense firefights,and authentic WWII weapons.Lots of explosions and bullets flying over your head.Made me feel like I was action star in WWII movie.Graphics are good.But the later levels get a little bland,sometimes not very detailed,but most of the games graphics are good.If your a fan of Medal Of Honor.You'll probably like this game .It's a good solid FPS.Its all first person mode.

Fun, exciting realistic and you do not want to stop!

If you don't mind being a Russian soldier and like battle field fighting nonstop, Then this is the game for you. The graphics are great, lots of action and even a good story line to go with the game. The game is set in WWII and you are fighting against the Germans. I recommend that you turn up the volume put on the sorround sound if you have it and go back 60 years and be apart of the WWII experience that your grandfather or great grandfather talked about.

Call of Duty:Finest Hour Review

I do not own this game but I think i know a lot about this. First there is three parts to the game were you play as a different character each time. And you also play in a different place each time too. Also multiplayer is just Xbox live stuff. At least I think there is. The graphics are good to not compared to Halo or Halo 2. Overall Call of Duty Finest Hour is a pretty good game. I haven't played any other Call of Duty games (i'm not so sure if there is any other ones) but this is one of the best World War II games I've played.

Don't buy this game.

This game is nothing like the Call of Duty for pc. There is no D-Day or running through Stalingrad. I remember trying to secure a building but I kept on getting killed by my own tanks. It has some of the worst A.I. that ive seen in a game. Every time the enemy shoots they seem to hit you even if you're crouching, running and sometimes even behind what seems to be perfectly safe cover. The Nazis charge at you like madmen. Shooting them in the stomach, legs, or other appendages should wound them but, oh yeah, they cant be wounded only killed. I gave the game two stars for the graphics and game designing. Its hard to believe that the best WWII FPS for pc would turn out to be one of the worst games for X-Box. This was by far my worst purchase ever.

Get the PC version instead.

Lost in translation...

Ironically, I had preordered the console version of Call of Duty long before I had played the PC version. Yet with the release date oh so far away, I decided to take advantage of the recent price drop of the Call of Duty PC game hoping that it would tide me over. However, after playing countless hours of the game on my PC, I'd have to say that Call of Duty: Finest Hour is a bit of a disappointment. I understand that a console has nowhere near the processing power of a PC, yet I couldn't help but feel underwhelmed by FH's graphics which were simple and bland at best. However, I was mostly disappointed in the lack of save points throughout a level. That meant after spending ten minutes or so blasting your way through a difficult level, you would have to start the campaign all over again from start to finish if your player is killed. I always appreciate a challenge, yet not when the odds are overwhelmingly stacked against me. The one aspect that the console version did translate well was the "war is hell" theme. The beginning level featuring you as a Russian soldier taking back Stalingrad from the "steeking Germans" was intense with gunfire raining all around you and enemy soldiers around every corner. The death animations are overly exaggerated which made in difficult to distinguish whether or not an enemy was either wounded or dead only to have them shoot you in the back. I played this game for only an hour before I filed it away with my other games. I imagine that I will someday go back, but in the meantime, I'm having too much fun with the PC version.

WWII at its best

After beating Return to castle wolfenstein, it keft me wanting more hardcore WWII action. Call of Duty is the answer. Play from 3 point of views, the Russians, Americans, and English. The levels are filend with nonstop hardcore action. You get a great variety of guns and gameplay is excellent!

Great Game!

This game is a blast! I have had it for almost a week now and it is cool! The graphics are good, although I think that they would be better if my TV wasn't so crappy. It isn't the most realistic game on the market, although I have only played on easy, yet it has provided a moderate challenge in some areas. I cannot review the online play, as I do not have broadband. This said, this is a great game and I would buy it again!

Absolutely Awesome

Duuuuuuude! This game is awesome. You do it all: run from cover fire, take over bunkers, run through trenches, melee the enemy, drive tanks, and sniper the fool out of your enemies. I hate to say it, but I am playing this more than Halo 2 right now. It is that fun. You've got to get this game.

Makes You Think

I think this is a very fine game, its not an easy one and no cheat codes are up yet that I know about, so you,re on your own.
At that point basic combat tactics soon become obvious if you are to survive.
The graphics are very nice, play is active and exciting, its really a very good game, hope this company starts putting out more games, they did a really find job.
As far as EA games MOH, they are two different entities, EA games MOH you get a break, cheat codes, lots of on line info,but for a first time the makers of Call Of Duty did well.
Like others, I find the major irritation factor is getting almost finished and then getting killed and having to start the level all over again, these are not easy levels.
Being a stundent of WWII history, it seems that there was a lot of research put into this game, really shows.
So to briefly sum it up, its not perfect, but it still is excellent, I give this a 5+
