There are some moments where you even get to drive tanks or use airplane turrets. The controls are easily adjustable and there are a lot of customization options, so it can adapt to every player as much as needed. There are enough weapons to make the different missions of the game feel varied and never get boring or repetitive.
It's up there against the best Medal of Honor games, and considering the IP has been around for way less time, it's a great success. The gameplay is accompanied by a nice story and development. Being a part of the Big Red One makes you feel like every mission is important, and it also allows you to go in different types of missions.
Some things could be improved, especially in the technical aspect. Since there are some glitches where you can get stuck in the map, and the radar navigation could be better. But in most other aspects it is a solid game, you can have a lot of fun in these exciting missions. And if you get the Xbox or the PS2 version you get an online mode which is a big plus. It does also have multiplayer modes too and I remember playing this with my buddies in a video game store when I was at college.
We actually play this in the store for hours on end. One thing that you can never fault the Call of Duty series for is the presentation. This was released at a time when the developers knew these consoles inside and out and the results are great. This game on all platforms looks amazing and is like you are taking part in a war movie. It may be lacking that bit of polish the and PC Call of Duty 2 games offered, but I still think this is a great-looking game.
Actually, it is a shame when people talk about the best-looking games on these consoles that this never gets brought up. The voice acting in the game is also amazing and matches the visual spectacle very well.
The campaign is narrated by Mark Hamill and it features the vocal talents of many cast members from the Band of Brothers TV show. The vocal performances are great, but this was a game that I played through surround sound back in the day and it was truly epic stuff indeed.
I know that some people may turn their nose up at these older console Call of Duty games, but I can tell you that Call of Duty: Big Red One is a game I have a lot of fond memories of. I will admit that looking back at it now, it is showing its age. Still, it is a fantastic entry in the series and well worth checking out if you have an interest in the earlier days of the franchise.
War may be hell, but World War II period shooters seem to be just as popular as ever. Gamers are a masochistic lot it seems, willing to throw themselves headlong into a hail of bullets of explosions all for kicks.
