    Turning Point: Fall Of Liberty

    Being a fan of FPS' I downloaded the Demo for Turning Point: Fall Of Liberty and enjoyed it. It was nothing great, but a fun game. I didn't think it was worth full price, so I waited 'till I found one on e-bay for $20. After playing the demo I didn't see how this game was getting under 5 scores. Then, after getting the game, it was clear why. The bad outweighs the good.

    THE BAD:
    -Choppy framerate
    -Loading screens right while you're in the middle of battle and climbing up ladders
    -Game freezes from time to time making you have to reset it and start over.
    -Buttons sometimes unresponsive. You'll go to aim or shoot and it won't do anything like your contoller's busted.
    -A lot of little things in your way that get you "trapped" when they shouldn't. (Like a little 2X4 on the ground and you can't run when a grenade's thrown at you cause it's blocking your path)
    -Very unclear at times what you're supposed to do and where you're supposed to go.
    -Not enough guns. (There are like 4)
    -Enemies will run behind a corner and disappear then you'll go looking for them just to find out they don't exist anymore.
    -Dead enemies float in the air at times or die "in-between" a wall.
    -Feels like a generic Call Of Duty or Medal Of Honor.
    -The story sucks and you have no idea who your character is.
    ...and list goes on and on.

    THE GOOD:
    -It's fun killing people.
    -It's not as bad as Conflict or Hour Of Victory.
    -It's challenging at times.

    Overall, it was a fun game...but short. I wish I would've rented it. I'll give it a 6.5 because I don't think it's THAT horrible. Codemasters should have spent a lot more time on it.

      I will preface this review by admitting i have been less than kind to bad games in the past, going so far in a case or two to have resorted to making disparaging comments to the vices of developers, insinuating that possibly they had some problems with alchoholic beverages and a penchant for over consumption resulting in the sub-standard development of the game in question. i will not be doing so for Turning Point.In the vein of and interest for balanced review let us examine the positive aspect...

      So the Nazis come across the pond and invade New York and the rest of USA. Playing as a resistance fighter you fight back against the new regime and take back the war.  First of all the controls seem to get worse and worse as the game goes on.  I can see why the demo was the first levels because the farther you play into this game the more the bugs seem to show themselves.  Frame rate problems become a huge issue when shooting at multiple enemies. There is not much of a story other than the mai...
