Call of Duty 2

THE BAD:
Multiplayer
Live
Too short if you play on normal and easy.

SUMMARY:
Ok, so I got Call Of Duty 2 for my XBox 360 on December 25, 2005. This was the game I was most wanting because of the videos I have seen and the graphics. I will tell you this, it is the best World War II game you can pick up now.

The AI in this game is so wonderfully designed and programmed. You see bullets flying and hitting you everywhere, especially on D-Day. These guys will take you out in 2-4 shots, they will also throw a lot of grenades at you to kill you. If they are out numbered, they will throw a smoke grenade and charge at you and kill your teammates if you aren't careful. Enough with the enemy AI, lets move on to your teammates. Your team mates are just as well designed and programmed as the enemy. They will tell you useful information like where the enemy is at or where they saw a sniper at. They will shoot at the enemies and kill them using any measures. They often also throw back the same grenade as the grenade the enemy threw at you. The AI overall are well programmed and designed.

The graphics are top notch. Don't expect everything shiny like Perfect Dark Zero because that is the exact opposite. These graphics will show you the bricks on the walls, how well the smoke is designed and how well somethings are destroyed. The physics are ok because you can shoot at bottles and they will break but if you shoot at a closed door, nothing will happen even though at one point of the game the enemy does the exact same.

The story is really well played in this game. You go through most of the major battles that the Russians, British, and Americans went through. The most famous, D-Day.

Now, I have discussed what I personally like about the game but there are things that I didn't like. The multiplayer, which I found, was weak. The only way for it to be fun is to system link 3 XBox 360s because the multiplayer is no Halo kiddies. Also, the Live is so disappointing for a game like this. Only 8 people live can match each other. There is also a lot of lag online too. The last of the most disappointments is that the game can be short if you play it on easy or normal, but who would want to? I played it on Hardened and it took me around 2 weeks to beat it.

Overall, Call Of Duty 2 is the best World War II game out and is the best launch title I have played for the XBox 360.
