Game review: Turning Point: Fall of Liberty

I don't know if I ever fully explained the goal behind the Monday blog posts, so I am going to do that now. On Mondays I am going to review games for the current generation of consoles, but I am going to review older ones that people should be able to pick up for cheaper than normal. This is so people like myself can know what games are good, but won't break the bank. Any way, on to the review.

Today's review: Turning Point: Fall of Liberty

Turning Point is a first person shooter based in the fictitious universe where the Germans win World War II and have invaded America. You take the role of a construction worker turned freedom fighter as you fight to save America from the Nazi invasion.

The game is played in general FPS style, two weapons, can pick weapons off of enemy's corpses, grenades, the usual. The game is not remarkable on the innovation front. But what the game lacks in innovation, it partially makes up for with action and solid gameplay. The game has a single player campaign and online multiplayer, I can not say either way on the multiplayer because I haven't played the multiplayer. The single player campaign is good, not great, but good. The campaign mainly suffers because of how short it is. I honestly think it could have been a much better game if they had spent more time on it, made it longer, add more weapons, and just generally polish it up a bit.

All in all, the game is ok. It isn't the best, but it isn't horrible either. The game is any where fr $5 to $8 on Amazon.com, for that amount it would be a good weekend time killer or what not. As I said, the game is ok so if you are having a hard time deciding what to play, just pop this in and give it a go. it won't blow your socks off, but it can at least help kill some time while you figure out what other game you want to play after you are done.
