Opposing Fronts Hands - On
By Valkyr 1 Comments
After like 400mb of ingame updates, I started with the Axis campaign, defending their ass during Operation Market Garden, I like the fact that they kept that real feeling about the original game, with the characters speaking german during the cutscenes, I would like the gameplay speeches to be real german too, but well, I think that THQ were very brave to release a game in which you play as Nazis during a battle which was won indeed, defending from the allies assault during market garden was their very last victory.
Graphically I feel there is some improvement but it could be the fact that I played the original one in my old 17'' CRT monitor. What was really improved was physics, during the first Mission you have to defend your Flaks 88 and Flak guns, and since the mission started you are destroying enemy aircraft which dinamically destroy the ground and may even damage your base and your units, the damage on the ground is really really cool.
The cutscenes have the typical conversation of Nazi Germany, throwing phrases about german race superiority and things like that, I liked that, this games showes the truth and does not try to be the game that suites every kind of people, an Axis Campaign and this dialogues could be offensive to people which was invaded by Germany or people which indeed likes Nazis and don't want that kind of things being shown, but no matter who is offended, history is history and i think THQ doesn't dissapoint, it seems to be a great expansion for the 2006 goty game.
I will post something else when I finish both campaigns (the other is from the British side, liberating Caen) and play some MP.
