handles WWII are a dime a dozen these days, so there is a good reason to waste time with a game of chance, like as Widescreen Games Airborne Troops: Countdown to D-Day. Airborne troops was actually a Europe-only PC game released way back in late 2003, however, they are now finding their way to the shelves in the US on PS2, with a new subtitle fool to boot. Even the 2003 rules, airborne troops is a game very inspiring shots borrowed endless other games of the Second World War, however, he manages to get almost anything right. Therefore, by the standards of 2005, airborne troops as a whole is a poor effort.At the beginning of the game, introducing us with our protagonist, John Welsh, an American paratrooper who speaks with a similar type that says all rate movie trailers speech. John escapes in detail in an important mission to follow in order to affix the French heart is occupied by the Germans, but after a while, all sorts of
twists in white noise form as melodramatic voice continues unabated in some attractive women French resistance, Nazi, and so on. There ultimately is no history worthy of worry in this game, or any character worthy of sympathizing with, so it is very difficult to deal with any of the Airborne Troops puts before you. All this is simply a sloppy excuse to run around shooting Nazis.In the background, airborne troops is an action game in the third person with some mechanical extremely difficult shot. You have a variety of age appropriate pistols, rifles and machine guns at your disposal as you navigate through many dangerous French cities and landscapes, as well as a large Nazi resistance. The L1 button works as a form of self-goal, and R1 button fires. Unfortunately, the automatic target does not work the way you want. Deviate in strange directions, away from the nearest target, which often leads to some extra hits that will not take anything else. The good news is that you can still be targeted with hand your weapons, but even this does not always work. Pistols and machine guns only get a tiny part of the network approach, which often require an almost ridiculous accurately hit a target correctly. Rifles, on the other hand, a comically large reticle is given, and each time a determined enemy - no matter how far - is in the spotlight, which will reach 90 percent of the time. Even the method to change weapon is silly, since you need to press the Triangle button, which brings up a menu to select weapons. Then press the left analog stick in the direction you want to select your weapon.
In the heat of battle, with a Nazi group shoot the hell out of you, this alternate method weapon is unpleasant at best a nuisance and at worst painfully stupid.And oh boy do the Nazis as gang up on you. Of course, it is natural that an army enemy take down a fighter as he, but the problem here is that even if, for example, manages to shoot your way through what seems to be all soldiers in a particular building the game just played more at random intervals. This means that you have no hope to eliminate all enemies in your way - that is, unless, of course, you can avoid calling their anger. The game expects you to do what remains stealthy. The analog stick is pressure sensitive, so if you move the lever slightly forward, put another, and can also press the L2 button to put John in the contracted position. It even has a stealth kill movement can perform silently if enemy. The problem, however, remains to be discovered is often an absolute impossibility. The enemies are constantly patrol many areas is heavily guarded and there are never enough solid hiding places, so there is really no way to slip right your way through the game. Finally, it is best simply taking the approach run and gun and hoping for the best.All these elements play really only amount to an experience that is quite moderate, so you must be wondering what pushes the game the score line in a poor area. The answer is almost incomprehensible foolish mission design of the game. Initially, they may not even realize how bad it is. You mainly just run through each level to go from point A to point B, shoot bad guys, and achieving certain objectives level. These goals are not exactly difficult as everything you need to do is to find a specific target icon on one level, close it and press the action button. The problem arises when finished accidentally a level without completing all of the required objectives, and forced to do the whole thing again.Yes, that's right, you
can get all the way through a level, you accidentally miss a target without notice has, and then forced to restart the level. This is the only level too - although the levels are divided into several sections, no save points between sections. To be fair, sometimes the game does notify you of certain objectives within a grade during the painfully dull story sequences, but often there are goals which we know to be satisfied until it encounters an icon level. Now, combine the fact that you need to explore every corner of each level to make sure you have not missed any target with the fact that an army endless playback your Nazi follow until you are dead, and what we have is a very frustrating situation.The only aspect of the airborne troops are not smooth and simple evil is graphics engine, which, though not exactly remarkable, has its advantages. The character models, despite the fact that a piece of the rigid wing, dignified, like many of the environments of the game. You will not find any impressive textures or creative set pieces here, but the game manages to create a single interpretation of the war in France. There are some graphical hiccups bearing reference though. That is, almost nothing in the game really encourages very correct. The enemy soldiers move in a way that resembles a shooting game online for three years, skating around with weapons intended levels, crosses the objects and other character models in the process. Moreover, this is an action game for PC-year-old, who has pushed the PS2 with little change, so it is not surprising that the visuals are a bit dated.The sound of the game falls back on more casual side of things. We have already mentioned the work of our ridiculously melodramatic hero's voice, but the Nazis, who has almost nothing to say, and what they have to say exactly sound like German. Most of the sound effects for the game is quite frustrating, as the realm of noise is very general, and environmental impact of the game uses sound as cheap as you can get,
with gusts of bad filtered and long shots that just ring randomly. There is a piece of orchestral music that appears at times too much, but it adds drama and style to the package, and instead serves only as noise.Airborne Troops: Countdown to D-Day is not a game worth at every level. It's just another shooter economic value that lives up to its pedigree of most shooters affordable, because only the minimum number of components required to make a game that runs from the beginning to the end without crashing or disturbing out of you, and not have any of the conditions to be fun for all parties. The deadly trifecta of terrible mission planning, bad shot, and a total lack endearing plot almost close the deal in this case, so if you want a shooter World War II for PS2, see literally anywhere there is airborne troops.
