<a href=http://www.entdepot.com>Entertainment Depot</a> posted an extremely positive <a href=http://www.entdepot.com/pc/silentstorm/review.php>review</a> of <a href=http://www.nival.com/eng/s2_info.html>Silent Storm</a>, giving it <b>8.5/10</b> for <i>the wonderful combination of fluid controls, luscious 3D graphics, a completely destructible environment, plenty of weapons and weapon-types, and incredible depth at every turn</i>. That doesn't sound too bad, does it?

<blockquote>I remember the exact moment I fell in love with Silent Storm: of my 6 person team, my scout had been prematurely spotted and slaughtered via a hail of heavy machine gun fire, and my sniper suffered several gunshot wounds and was forced to retreat to cover and bandage her wounds. With two guys out of the fight and an unrelenting building full of Nazis yet to make their move, I stopped and took inventory. I had a soldier fully loaded out with a rifle, a heavy machine gun capable of ripping apart brick walls, a rocket launcher, and a tiny fortune of grenades. My two engineers were moved into position along the windowless side of the building, ready to pick off any Nazi foolish enough to come charging out of the front door. And my grenadier was crouched below a window looking into the front side of Haus Nazi. The situation looked bleak and hopeless - from what I could hear and see, there were roughly 10-12 Nazis barricaded in the house guarding the documents I needed to fulfill my objective and they weren't rushing outside after me, but rather waiting for me to infiltrate the house.
<br>
<br>
But I had other ideas. I ordered my lone soldier to dash to the front corner of the house by my engineers where he pulled out his machine gun and punched a hole in the wall big enough for my engineers to do some damage. I then started pouring enough TNT and C-4 charges into the house to get two unsuspecting enemy soldiers and make a good portion of the wall come crashing down (EVERYTHING can not only sustain damage, but be destroyed as well). My grenadier, meanwhile, stood up, looked in the window, saw 4 Nazis, and started pouring grenades through the window. After a couple rounds of sustaining heavy explosions (with the aid of a rocket launcher), the 3 story house came down, trapping and killing any remaining Nazis that were unlucky enough to still be in the house. </blockquote> I love Silent Storm war stories
