In terms of acting, however, it is Jonathan Tucker as your closest squadmate Robert Zussman who turns in the best performance. The Nazi Zombies mode also features the performance and likenesses of actors such as Vhing Rhames and David Tennant for added star power. Josh Dumel is the latest Hollywood actor to be featured in a lead role for the series, playing a grizzled sergeant that expects too much from his unit. Other members of your squad can provide you with ammunition, help you call in an airstrike, or highlight enemies making them easier to hit. For the most part things are the same, though, with the abundance of quick time events and occasional vehicle segment breaking up the FPS gameplay.

It changes your fundamental approach to facing the enemy and forces you to be more cautious under fire. Now you have to rely on health kits that you either find across the level or receive from your squad mate. In an old-school twist, your soldier no longer heals automatically if he manages to stay out of the line of fire for a few seconds. There are mementos to collect throughout the single player campaign that give some incentive to explore the otherwise overly linear levels. The campaign features 11 missions that begin with the D-Day landing, then quickly move on to the liberation of Paris, the Battle of the Bulge, and other famous battles involving the U.S. From its generic title to its overbearing offering of microtransactions, much of CoD: WWII feels soulless and market driven.

Not to be outdone, Sledgehammer Games has tried to return the series to its former glory with Call of Duty: WWII, but the results don’t do much to distinguish it from the pack. Last year CoD’s chief rival, EA’s Battlefield, beat it to the punch by going historical with the WWI-based Battlefield I, which was well-received commercially and by fans. Since 2007’s Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, and the subsequent explosion in popularity that the game brought to the series, the franchise has shifted its attention to more modern and even futuristic conflicts (except for 2008’s World at War, which was set in the Pacific Theater). History repeats itself as Call of Duty finally returns to the battlefields of the Second World War. By VGChartz Staff, posted on 30 November 2017 / 9,522 Views
