The game's wide-open levels actually encourage players to explore, giving the series a fresh feel compared to past games. Unfortunately, a very brief campaign and no online multiplayer means the fun doesn't last long.

European Assault tries to give you an authentic war experience and even offers quick History Channel-ish lessons—but I don't spend my weekends reenacting this crap, so I found myself skipping right to the action. I enjoyed watching the fireworks as my pyromaniac character exploded another radio tower/tank/U-boat/door, but between history class and explosions, Assault didn't keep my blood pumping. Ironically, the new "hero" feature (bullet time plus invincibility) has you fill up your adrenaline meter by picking off Nazis (who all think they're shorter than they really are—the tops of their heads always stick out from behind crates), but in reality, you wish it was as exciting as the meter keeps telling you.

How many WWII shooters have we had now? I lost count a few hundred thousand ago. Assault's optional objectives add freedom and replay value to the typically scripted action, but where's the compelling story (Jon dug it; I didn't), which used to be a driving force behind this series? What's worse, your squadmates' primary purpose is to be cannon fodder (maybe if they did a better job of actually following your squad commands they'd live longer), the crazed difficulty level ramps up without warning, and when you approach enemy A.I. soldiers they often bust out with a silly-looking herky-jerky dance. The multiplayer mode has plenty of options—but no online play. Assault is one of the better MOH games of late, but reeks of missed opportunities.
