![]() ![]() The voice acting is absolutely spot on, and the character development is among the most well written of any Call of Duty game to date. It's not just about the mission that just serves as a backdrop for the intrapersonal and interpersonal struggles these young men go through as they throw themselves into the meat grinder day after day.Ĭall of Duty has dramatically raised its standards over the past few years, taking the series from multiplayer games with an okay-I-guess campaign to being a truly great single player experience, and this is no exception. The campaign follows battles that anyone even somewhat versed in the second world war should know - the D-Day invasion, the liberation of Paris, the Battle of the Bulge - but the emphasis on the characters and their interactions is what really sets this game apart from other World War II shooters. This is another example of fantastic writing coupled with superb voice acting to deliver an unforgettable experience. I've not played CoD2: BRO, so I'll not be comparing the two, but aside from the photorealistic visuals (I seriously couldn't tell at first if it were live actors or CGI), the part about WWII that stands out the most is how damn well the characters are portrayed. WWII follows the US Army's 1st Infantry Division - "Big Red One" - which the aptly named Call of Duty 2: Big Red One also made its subject. I'm a sucker for historical games in general (I mean, I AM a history teacher) and especially games set in World War II, so I'm a little naturally biased, but this is a REALLY fantastic game. Not since 2008's World at War has Call of Duty gone back to its roots in war torn western Europe, but Sledgehammer made sure that when it did, it was as if it never left.
