When they are captured by a Dominic Monaghan voiced Nazi, and we get to relive their experiences while we are guided through each of their individual backstories

Fascinating Adventures
As we are regaled with their fascinating adventures of our protagonists, we are transported from the Battle of Stalingrad to the war in the Pacific and thrown into the chaos of the D-Day landings. There are some twists that you would expect from a Call of Duty® game, like piloting your fighter through an immense dogfight or bomb Japanese ships in the Pacific, which is also the location where you get to use the more than satisfying Flame Thrower. In the Stalingrad section, Lady Nightingale can actually climb up walls, and it has vents for her to crawl through which have been cleverly designed throughout the bomb damaged buildings, so she can take her shot and escape without ever being seen.

An Instant Classic
The visuals are tremendous and with the cutscenes, they are some of the best I have witnessed on any Xbox. Almost realistic levels of detail are used on everything, from the grain on a wooden chair in a sitting room, to how the wispy clouds pass across the stunning sky, even the facial expressions of the characters are lifelike. A well produced soundtrack that was composed by Bear McCreary is combined with superb special effects and some really credible voice talent. The Campaign is innovative, Multiplayer is great and for those who love Zombies they are back just for you. Overall. Once again, the Call of Duty Franchise have given us an instant classic.
