Product: Call of Duty 2 Price: $270 for CD version, $300 for DVD Pros: Greater variety of campaigns and game play design. A smarter enemy and team memebers make for the most stunning World War II shooter game yet. Cons: Use of smoke grenades and other graphic-intensive weapons and tactics during game play would be too much for a regular PC to handle.
Get set to strap up those boots, tighten that buckle, grab your helmet and return to battle in Activision's Call of Duty 2, the sequel to 2003's best-selling personal computer action game developed by Infinity Ward.
The original Call of Duty set a benchmark for portraying the chaos and intensity of war with lifelike authenticity in a video game.
There is more explosive action with bigger battles in the sequel, more destructive weapons and troops, more advanced artificial intelligence (AI) and amazing special effects set in a wide range of locations and environments.
Gamers will soon be immersed in armed battle through the eyes of soldiers fighting together in epic second world war conflicts.
Call of Duty 2 is set across three Allied campaigns: Russian, British and American. Gamers can play through each storyline to its completion, or choose to engage the enemy in historic battles chronologically from 1941 through 1945.
