Call of Duty: Finest Hour

Reviewed by:

Ever wondered which Allied power suffered the worst flashbacks from World War II? Finest Hour settles the score by letting you play a little as the Americans, a little as the Russians, and, if you're really desperate, a little as the British. Test your chops in a slew of battles and historical theaters, including the charge of Stalingrad and desert-storming North African missions. Spark Unlimited, the development team that helped create the Medal of Honor series of hyper-realistic WWII games, steps up its gaming here, sending you into combat to trudge knee-deep through the environmentally absorbing sights and sounds of entrenched warfare. But hey, it's not all blood and tears—you can also hook up with 16 players online and play Axis vs. Allies Capture the Flag! If only the Battle of the Bulge could have been settled with touch-tagging.
