Hour of Victory is an FPS that tries out the whole diversity with the characters pitch, and the awesomely derivative dialogue. The game is basically a weak FPS, with no real point and sense of what it wants to be, with that said, it still does have some value. You can get some easy achievements, and it only cost me $12, so no real loss. Basically, this game is a very linear, short, and generic FPS. If you see it for cheap maybe buy it, but dont expect anything great.

Ignore the haters...Buy Hour of Victory!

Okay, the reviews of popular magazines and websites are what usually makes or breaks a game, and I believe that Hour of Victory received an unfair advantage here.

First, it's a WWII game that is not, and so should not be compared to the Medal of Honor, and Call of Duty series. And second, this game is not about being in an infantry of soldiers; it's all about playing your part as one of three elite fighters consisting of a Sniper, Stealth dude, and a straight on up-in-your-face Gunner. I'm sure that if other reviewers played this game with this mindset, then the score would have been a lot higher.

The one thing that makes Hour of Victory stand out above all other WWII shooters is the sheer aggressiveness of the Nazi soldiers. I have played all the other games and none of them as an enemy this tenacious and deadly! They will keep coming at you, and you will feel like a rat trapped in a cage with the only way out is to shoot for your life.

Want to see realistic weapon fire and recoil action? Then play this game. As a military specialist, I have used every weapon you can imagine, and none of the other games (except COD4 of course) in this genre comes even close to the realistic gun play found in Hour of Victory.

The graphics are done with a different game engine than the Call of Duty series and so the results are realistic animations, that really kicks up the action a few nudges. And the sound and music are appropriate enough to draw you in.

All-in-all, Hour of Victory is a great game that does not deserve the harsh reviews it has received. Also, its new lowered price tag makes this a classic not to be ignored.

Why are people trashing this game?

This is a very poorly developed game. The graphics (to me) seem alot worse then call of duty 2, which was a launch title. The gameplay is simmilar to call of duty 2 except the control's are worse and the AI sucks. Its just a bad game so please dont waste your money buying this

This game is aweful. The AI sucks, the gameplay sucks, the graphics arent great, the controls suck. It is dry and boring. This is the quality game of something you would find in a bargain bin for under ten dollars, and I'm sure it won't be long before it ends up there. With all the great shooters out (and coming out) I would highly reccommend to all gamers to stay away from Hour of Victory.

Hour of Victory; very good game

I thought this game was excellent and very well produced. I have read negative reviews, but are all of your opinions based on you; as a firs-person shooter only? Have you played this game with 12 others friends at the same time? Have you played it on-line? This is where the game is shows its true colors. My only gripe is the annoying music because I cannot find an option to turn it off. I only want the sound of the gun battle without "Mozart" blasting in the background. I thought it worth the $60.00 I paid and will this game will sit nicely beside my COD Big Red One.

This game is terrible. I was looking forward to a new name in World War II shooters, but this is just more of the same done worse. The controls were a little annoying, but you'd get used to them. Graphics are no where near as good as they were saying they would be. Missions were boring and character specialties (Sniping, stealth etc.) were more a nuisance then a fun addition to the genre. I'd suggest picking up Call of Duty 2, its half the price and at least 5 times as good.
