Summary: Call of Duty: Finest Hour
Comment: "Call of Duty: Finest Hour" is not the greatest Call of Duty title but it is still a classic. The reason I gave it only three stars overall is because the graphics aren't very good and the controls aren't the best. The voice acting also isn't up to stuff but it still makes you feel like you're actually there, in the theaters of World War II.
The tank missions are cool but the vehicles are very hard to control and it took me quite a while to learn to master them (and I still have to relearn every time I play again). The Russians were a cool side to play but the British were also cool, with the main character voiced by that voice actor (Robin Atkin Downes) who seems to be in almost every video game.
That's besides the point, however, and the point of this review is to tell future buyers about this game. So, if you're a fan of WWII first-person shooters or the Call of Duty franchise, I suggest you buy this.

Summary: Over the top
Comment: COD 4 is probably the most complete, beautiful and overall best, video game i've ever played. The only issue i have is that it is too short. The action literally leave one breathless.
The casting, and art is beyond belief. The staging is well thought through and the various missions are selected to exercise every facility of the game machine.

Summary: One of the Finest First Person Shooters Available!
Comment: Reviewed for Big Boss Games by: L.E.G.
As a lover and avid player of FPS (First Person Shooter) type games, I am probably one of the toughest critics and a game must satisfy all my criteria for me to give it a 5/5 rating. Without any doubts, Call of Duty Finest Hour has successfully accomplished this lofty goal.
To start with, Call of Duty Finest Hour is entirely based on events that happened during World War II. But, ActiVision took on a bigger role than just making a video game and actually tries and succeeds in teaching us a brief history lesson. Granted it's very short and concise, but it helps to setup the game and it's many diverse and challenging levels.
You start out playing as a member of the Russian Army fighting with your comrades on the Eastern Front, from the Volga to Stalingrad. The missions can be somewhat difficult to finish, but the squad leader does give you instructions (just as if you were in the army) on what you need to do or where you need to go. "Blow up that building" and "Take out those machine guns" are typical fare. And most of the time you are a member of a "squad", so don't try to be all "Rambo" and try to defeat the Germans all by yourself. You will get slaughtered!
After you complete your mission(s) as one person, you are then placed in someone else's shoes and get to fight the war from their perspective. Which also opens you up to using different weapons and driving around in tanks. But, this is not Grand Theft Auto. You can't go around and jump in vehicles and take off. Your tour of duty on the Eastern Front with the Russians takes a total of 8 sometimes-grueling missions. At least the game is very forgiving and lets you restart the mission at the last checkpoint.
After the Eastern Front, you are whisked off to North Africa to serve with the British Army in Tunisia. All of the buildings and backgrounds used in this game are simply amazing. There is a lot of rich and articulate detail to keep your attention. You will serve a total of 4 missions with the bulldogs. More neat weapons used by the Brits and a lot of blowing stuff up in these levels. G-D Save the Queen!
And last, but not least, you go to the Western Front to fight with the American Army. As in previous levels, you get more awesome weapons to shoot and tanks to drive. Some of the toughest battles will be fought with the Americans. A total of 7 missions await your shooting skills.
Call of Duty Finest Hour by ActiVision is available for the Playstation 2, Xbox and Gamecube. It is rated "T" for Teen and contains a ton of blood and a whole lot of violence. Since this game is based on World War II, blood and violence is to be expected. Total missions are 19 and 23 different weapons.
This game is Single Player only, but does offer multiplayer online broadband only and 2-16 players. Online gametypes are: Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch, Capture the Flag and Search & Destroy.
Overall, this game was as close to perfect as they can get with very few technical glitches. Like one time I was crawling around on the floor and trying to climb a flight of stairs and my character just fell through some empty space to his terrible death.
This game was just so well balanced between missions, story, music and action that I had to give it a 5/5.
It's really an awesome game, so go ahead and get a copy.

Summary: Too hard and slow
Comment: I think that this Call of Duty was to hard and the gameplay was to slow. I didn't enjoy this game. I didn't have fun while playing this Call of Duty. I struggling to keep alive and make my objectives. Too hard for me atleast. Rent before buying this one, or play call of duty 2 big red one if you have just the original xbox and your looking for a call of duty.

Summary: Good WWII game but not the best
Comment: I love all the action, explosion...weapons and the storylines. But this isnt the best. As you go more and more into the game. The enemy starts to overwhelm you too much. There are two parts in the game one in the USSR and Aachen, where you have to kill as many Nazi Panzerschreck squads before they destroy whatever needs to be protected.
It took me forever to guide the m12 in the part in the game where youre playing the US...the Big Red One...but the thing was, I ended up losing once again. After they destroy that townhall, Nazis come from the sewers and attack again.
Bottom line...action and graphics and everything else is awesome...the overwhelming of the enemy is "pushing it" in this one. But I like it enuff that Im going to buy the other two parts.
