Company of Heroes

Finally, i finished company of heroes. I was halted on like mission 12/15 for quite a long time, then i finally finished it. Its a great game. The graphics is just brilliant, and i also feel that the control that the player has over the game camera is great. From an rts camera view, you can zoom in all the way until you can see the faces of the infantry men clearly. The details on the tanks and the infantry is just amazing. When you zoom in enough, the facial details are amazing. Moreover, the body motions of the infantry is very realistic. Before, i wasnt really interested in ww2. But this game really got me to dig ww2 and what it was all about. The game starts off with the events at omaha beach, and you gotta play the role of allies in the campaign mode. Man, do you get one fucking hell of a beating when you are on omaha beach. Now i truly realise why there is so much fuss over d-day, cos you see the casualties and you are just shocked. Once omaha beach is over, you play 15 different missions where you have to use allied troops for various aims. Most of it is basically to control territories and force off the axis forces. The cut scenes are also fantastic. They are made in great detail, and the voice acting is also good. I was really pissed, cos when i saw the screenshots of cnc 3, it looked as if they had ripped off company of heroes, which i think they did. Anyway, i think this game really shows how far video gaming has come. From the time when we had doom, it is amazing that games have grown so much in detail. In the final mission, you finish off the german troops in the game, and it ends with a simple cut scene. I was actually expecting the final cut scene to be more elaborate. maybe they wanted to finish development quickly. Anyway kudos for company of heroes, its a hell of a game.
