Gameplay is very good, as you can gather from majority of reviews. Imagery and detail are stunning- if you are a WWII historian/buff AND a gamer...you've gone to heaven. Aside from all the obligatory gushing and kudos, what every potential buyer better be aware of is system demands. The requirements are high; I'm running an Athlon 1.2 with 256 MB, 32 MB onboard video and i was locking up constantly, even with all settings at min and background programs shut down. I used the experience as convenient excuse to upgrade- put in nVidia GeForce3 Ti200 64MB and "voila", things smoothed out. There's problems EA must be aware of, (see the 'safe' mode for crashes). I've never had problems running games (OP Flashpoint, RTCW, etc)and this game was a nightmare without the juiced up card (MY experience, now)....SO, if your system is up to the task, purchase and enjoy!!
