Unfortunately, the memorable moments in Finest Hour are separated by lengthy sequences of filler.
You'll also participate in some house-to-house fighting, kicking down doors and ferreting out entrenched Germans. There are a couple of tank-driving missions, a turret-style mission on the back of a jeep, and a shooting-gallery sequence with a sniper rifle. These teammates can and will die, but they're often replaced by more fodder as you proceed through the missions.Įxperienced shooter fans will find several familiar mission types in Finest Hour. Throughout the game, you'll be accompanied by AI-controlled comrades who will fight by your side and help you advance through the missions. The British campaign is set in the deserts of North Africa, while the American missions have you starting the push into Western Germany with the capture of Aachen. As the Russians, you'll begin by crossing the Volga River in an attempt to push the German army out of the besieged city of Stalingrad. While some may find this type of campaign disjointed from a story perspective, it allows for a good variety of settings. Like the original PC game, Finest Hour's single-player component actually consists of three small campaigns told from the perspective of the Russian, British, and American armies. The Call of Duty series makes its first jump onto consoles with Finest Hour. While Finest Hour is a competent shooter on most counts, a few important things have been lost in the franchise's transition between platforms. A year later, the franchise finds itself on all three major consoles in an entirely new game called Call of Duty: Finest Hour.
Its intense, well-paced single-player campaign was a great complement to its excellent multiplayer modes. The original Call of Duty, released on the PC late last year, distinguished itself as a superb first-person shooter, despite the glut of other World War II-themed shooters already on the market at the time.
