REVIEW

I've played the new COD4 and then this game. COD4 is what you'd expect, and actually I don't believe is as good as Brothers in Arms.

This game offered me more action and tactical elements than what I first thought I'd get. I figured this game would be run shoot, run shoot, rinse repeat. Well I can tell you it isn't. Sure this game does have that element, but with being able to use cover and duck behind buildings there is more tactic involved. Also the use of the tanks and anti tank weapons makes it a lot more enjoyable.

I am still not the largest fan of the FPS control system on the DS that this game and COD4 involve. With large hands it makes it a little difficult to sometimes reach the shoulder button when I'm directing my character or vehicle. I understand the need to use the touch pad, but if the game would employ a control system like that of Goldeneye DS I would have rated it probably a 9.

So that being said, the game is fun and will keep you entertained. I'd pick it up if it was under $30, over that and it's too much.

7.5/10
