The AI isn't the greatest at times, bullets go into walls when the reticle is on an enemy and the graphics are average for a 2008 game. In terms of the gameplay, this doesn't advance the genre either but the story is interesting enough and its main strength. The game takes place in an alternate history in which Winston Churchill dies in 1931 (he was really hit by a car in NY), eight years before the start of World War II, presenting the possibility of what could have happened to Europe, the United States, and the rest of the world without his leadership. The United Kingdom is subdued by Nazi Germany in 1940, and the rest of Europe, North Africa and the Middle East fall soon afterward. The United States, infected with anti-war sentiment, does not get involved overseas. The game takes place in the midst of the Greater German Reich's invasion and occupation of the east coast of the United States in 1953-.
I will say though for a game with this story it doesn't do all it can, as the cut-scenes are too limited to completely immerse the gamer into it. I played this on normal difficultly and there are one or two tricky parts but most of the time it's easy enough to hide behind something when wounded while the health regenerates. I don't mind my FPSs simple and this is definitely that but there's nothing special about it to recommend to others. 2.5-3/5
