<strong>[ Game -> Preview ]</strong>
<a href="http://www.gamespot.com">Gamespot</a> has posted a hands-on preview of <a href="http://www.facesofwargame.com/">Faces of War</a>, apparently a MEGA SUPER UNIQUE WW2 BEST GAME OF 2006, according to the previwer.
I'm glad that Gamespot goes so indepth on gameplay in their previews and gets you a good idea of what to expect:
<blockquote> This is because Faces of War has a fairly advanced graphics and physics engine, so you can destroy pretty much everything onscreen. For instance, during the initial infantry assault, we managed to level the beach house that the machine-gun nest was holed up in by blasting it with the bazookas. In other moments, we saw the cover that our troops were huddling behind get shredded by the sheer volume of fire, forcing them to retreat to more durable cover. It goes without saying that part of the fun in the game is going to be destroying everything you see. We saw a bit of this in the second mission, which involved kicking the Germans out of another French village. Before long, the place was gutted.</blockquote>
<blockquote>We've already mentioned the destructible environments, but we should note that there's quite a bit of graphical detail in Faces of War. Everything looks sharp, from the gutted houses of a destroyed French village to the incredible detail on all the vehicles. The physics engine also lends itself to the over-the-top, cinematic feel of the battles. Explosions send bodies hurling into the air, and soldiers can get their helmets blown off. Soldiers will even drop their weapons if they're hit, which means you've got to have them pick up their weapons again or they'll try to punch their opponents.</blockquote>
All over the preview they keep stressing how "this isn't just another WW2" game and how it's "unique", but from all the features they list, it sounds like an even less strategic version of Freedom Force, with Call of Duty's setting and Silent Storm's physics/destructability.
UNIQUE!!!!!!111111111 I've learned that in Gamespot's previews, they are almost always saying the direct opposite of everything.
