Got my hands on some new PS2 games over the weekend. Did not spend too much time on the games (still playing much of Splinter Cell: Double Agent), so just a simple preview for now.
1) Call of Duty 3 (Activision)
The latest version of the First Person Shooter (FPS) is set during the World War 2's Normandy Breakout campaign, the one that liberated Paris from the Axis (Germany and its allies). This campaign starts on 6th June at Normandy, and finishes in Paris on 25th Aug 1944. The game allows players to play as American, British, Polish and Canadian armies during the 14 missions (the last 2 being the new addition). Great looking grapics, very accurate controls, good AI interaction, and impressive story telling.
2) SOCOM: US Navy SEALs Combined Assualt(Sony Computer Entertainment):
The latest in the best selling tactical assualt series, SOCOM, returns with a four player online cooperation mode, as first for the series. Pretty graphics, intelligent enemy AI but team mate AI is still not as good.
3) The History Channel's Civil War (Activision):
The original design of this game was supposed to be similar to the PC version, which is a Real Time Strategy (RTS). However, upon loading the game, to my surprise, its a First Person Shooter (FPS), complete with slow loading guns and loading animations and slow shooting enemies. This is was an era way before automatic weapons, but the animation is as cool. Graphics is very good, detailed and stable framerate.
