    Anyone tried it yet? It is like GTA, only set in Paris during the occupation. You run around the city blowing stuff up and taking out nazis...and their is a nudity patch for the brothel you are based in....

    Good game so far, some interesting choices, and the faces look bad in the cinematics, but the game play is really good, stealing cars, blowing up stuff.

    Killing Nazis...ohhhh yes...

    I give it 8 out of 10, and if you like that era, then it is well worth playing.

    I don't think anything does.

    So many games try to claim they are the next gta....but nothing seems to even come close.

    Yep, also I am not a fan of how areas are gray and once you beat down the Nazi's in that area they turn to color.

    Some odd choices, but the game play is great........it compares a lot to GTA....just more of an era piece...

    And the ability to accomplish some missions by sneaking around is cool...and you can climb almost any building and run on the roof......

    I think it is really good, probably undermarketed, and won't be a hit, but the game is very fun to play.

    And I am playing the XBox 360 version.

    That does not surprise me, because honestly they started out really strange.

    The game has playable cinematics to get you into the story, and it makes you have to play an hour or so before the game gets really good.

    Lots of reviewers would have stopped before getting to that point.

    :)

    It got 75% on Game rankings which is a pretty good score.

    I recommend it if you like GTA, and you like WW2.

    Some actual gameplay footage. Looks like a "stiff" GTA.

    Been playing a lot, and I have to say, it is getting better and better, the fact that you can climb almost any building gives it WAY more game play than GTA.

    Big fan.

    Is this game from THQ? It looks like Saint's Row. Looks cool though, and SR2 was fun in it's own way. Never heard of this game though.

    Pandemic, an EA studio.

    They did ZERO marketing, but the game play is flat out a BLAST !

    One of the guys Im familiar with at the Gamestop nearby me has great things to say about the game...He thinks its very underrated and he's had a great time playing the game.

    That video looks pretty sweet.

    Is this the first game that you have played that allows you to climb every building? I ask because I can name about 3 others games that have that same mechanic, but have a higher rating.

    I read PS Magazine and GamePro fairly regularly....fairly certain I remember this getting good reviews....I usually take note of games I think look great, especially if they have a low score.

    No no, but this one has the sand box feel that I like, driving, shooting, story telling (though the faces suck) and it is in an era I have a lot of interest..WW2.
