this game is one of my best games on psp and its good because you can missions all over agian.graphics:4/5efects: 5/5value: 4.9/5great game. sometimes you cant hear your gun with the vulume at its highest. ( it only does that if it gets too scratched, its a glitch)
I really love this little gaming console. You can and will take hits. As the half track arrives he yells that there is the half track lets go. Your objective is to liberate a small town/village in Italy. In that sense I think the designers did a great job of replicating what it would be like to be in real combat. I'm an old PC gamer from days gone by, and recall being one of the first people to by and play Doom and Duke Nukem, so you know where I'm coming from. Some will be ammo for guns you already have, others will be newer guns you can use, or swap for.
You have to think and play like your in real combat. I think they should let you pick up where you left off at the last objective achieved. I was lost and died several times as I ran out of ammo and German re-enforcements kept arriving. I eventually purchased Tomb Raider - Anniversary to give it a try as I had played Underworld on the Wii to which I am also unfamiliar and liked it. But if you quit the game and go out of it, when you return you will have to start at the beginning of that campaign. A few light skirmishes and a run in with a Panzer are not too hard.
Once you take out a majority of enemy fighters, you take cover as close as you can to the area and then run and zig zag and get up behind the half track. You continue facing the wall and just shuffling left. Lastly, sometimes you'll get into a campaign where you get to a certain area, and you have no idea what the objective is and how to get to it, and on occasion, I'd find myself alone and not able to find my platoon. If your already familiar with a console style controller, you should be able to play the game without difficulty. The biggest beef I have with this game is when your on foot, and your moving yourself around the little joystick blindly moves you forward/backward litterally left/right.
So I pressed on and although I encountered a few very difficult areas in the game, found that I had become a bit more used to the console and its controls. The character should actually turn in the direction your move the stick like any other game or like when using a real joystick on a PC. This is where you need to pay some attention to what the CO is yelling. Instead you have to use the joystick to make movement only, and at the same time use the Triangle/Circle/Square/X button to turn left or right or look up or down. The Triangle and X buttons should be used to look up or down, and the X should be your fire button. During your campaigns you are of course in a very realistic war zone. I simply had to learn the controls.
You cannot take them out by gun fire or a frontal assult by grenades. As I sad earlier, joystick should be for movement controlling including turning left and right. If you take too much injury your vision becomes tunnel vision, and you had better get out of there and take cover or you will become a casualty. For my birthday back in June I received a PSP. At first you have a standard issue rifle, I believe an M16 Carbine or something. This is a stupid and difficult movement control set up. Over all I'm enjoying this game. But as your comrades start for it they are mowed down with machine gun fire and the CO yells to take cover its heavily armored we'll need to take it by flanking it.
First some details. You have to pay attention and do what your ordered to do so you can advance. You must conserve ammunition, you must stay low, and you must be accurate. It just so happens that you use the upper right button to shoot, but if your making your way through a building where you have to use the joystick and turn buttons at the same time tying up both hands, and you walk into an enemy, you going to get shot before you can get into proper position, aim, and shoot. There is NO manual save ability. As your playing you should be thinking about how scary this must have been in real history, and thank your lucky stars. Long story short, I struggled with Tomb Raider after a few levels. An example would be the second campaign is called Scavenger Hunt, and you need to make your way through some villages and capture a half track vehicle.
Weapons are all correct for the period, and equipment is correct as well. I became frustrated with it, and concluded that I wasted my money. The only other issue I'm going to touch on and beef about is save points. Your CO orders you to man a 50 caliber gun mounted on a damaged jeep. Targeting is not difficult, with the game showing a red reticle when your on target.
So I decided to play on as this game had become interesting. Hopefully, it will make you realize how much any soldier sacrifices when they go to war. In other words if your walking straight using the joystick and come to a wall, if you move the joystick left and expect yourself to turn left, you do not. Some darker areas, but for the most part, very well done, and being a history buff specializing in Europe during this period, seemingly accurate. You find out quickly that these machines are heavily armored and deadly.
For example you may enter an area with some destroyed American vehicles, and your platoon is there surveying the wreckage when suddenly German re-enforcements arrive and start attacking. You can also pick up grenades which are very helpful in taking out items like Howitzers. So I was totally unfamiliar with the console type controllers used with the PS1/PS2 or Xbox. I'm not quite finished yet, and I already know each campaign gets tougher. As you reach those you get a little message letting you know objective achieved. You have the option of fighting as a Britt, or an American against German forces.
However, if you die, you will be re-started at the last objective achieved which is good. Sound effects are definitely realistic, and create a dark war/combat mood fitting for the game. Graphics are great. At the time I purchased the PSP I also purchased Call Of Duty Roads To Victory. Basic game play is not too difficult in that you can switch weapons very easily, you can use your sight very easily, and if your out of ammo, you can pick up more or swap weapons very easily. Hence, make sure you have enough time to complete the whole campaign before you need to stop the game or you'll lose all progress.
I tried to play Call Of Duty within the first day or two of buying it. Your CO is always giving updates and on occasion an order. As you progress you will see pick up's. So it pays to know when its your turn to take/make a risky move, and you must learn to conserve ammo and weapons. The ending area is a central square with a few German Howitzer guns in it well manned. I decided to give Call of Duty another try.
They moved on to the next objective and will wait for me, but it would be nice to have a clue as to where I need to go and what I might need to do. This was a short coming. As you play through a campaign you must reach certain objectives along the way. Its exciting, and its an adventure to a by gone era, no one wants to visit for real any time soon. As you take hits red appears around the perimeter of your vision. You only need to take safe cover from further injury and wait for a short time, actually, unrealistically short, and your health restores and you can continue combat.
I've never in my life played any console games on a console. Then you toss a grenade into the back and take out the operators. It took a few dozen tries before it sunk in that flank is rear. There are no health or medical kit pick ups in the game.
So you do that and start firing and keep taking out enemy attackers and their equipment. Until you obey orders you cannot complete that objective. I was pleasantly surprised when I was able to not only get past the first few enemy encounters alive, but complete the first campaign without much trouble. If I can master the controls better I know I can beat this game, and so can you.
You take them and the Howie's out and head to a bunker to use binoculars to pin point a Panzer division and call in coordinates to allow your airforce to take them out and achieve your objective and thus end the level. At times, you also have to have bxxxs, and take some scary moves to advance. So here is one of those spots where brass bxxxs are required. If you enjoy first person shooters, and like war themes, you'll like this game and I would recommend it.
this is an awsume game and anyone who likes the call of duty series will like if not love this game i have it and i have played it 7 times and its still great i highly recamend this game to any one who likes WWII
this game is part 3 but its easyer to play on psp then it is on ps2 so try it out
I have not purchased this game yet, but plan to do so sometime soon. From what I have seen and heard, this game appears to be awesome. If it is as good as the first two Call of Dutys, this one shall be fun. Hopefully I can manage to find one at a Gamestop.
