In the sequel to the Game of the Year, Infinity Ward returns with more cinematic intensity and chaos than ever before, in some of World War II's most climatic battles. Join huge offensive pushes and actions, as part of the Russian, British or American forces for some of the most memorable scenes in a shooter this year - having bullets raining around you as you scale a sheer cliff at Pointe du Hoc on D-Day, to tanks rolling over the trench you're taking cover in as a Russian soldier. Beautifully rendered snow, rain, fog and smoke, combined with dynamic lighting and shadows, help draw players into this war-torn era. In short, it nails down the formula, and it nails it well.
Developed by renowned developers Traveller's Tales, LEGO Star Wars follows the events of all three prequel movies, from Episode I : The Phantom Menance to Episode III : Revenge of the Sith. With characters and places made out of building blocks. What might sound like a gross match-up however, translates into simple, clever gameplay, making hysterical use of its licenses... just imagine Darth Maul packed into an adorable plastic body with itty-bitty grabby hands. From Anakin Skywalker to General Grievous, each with their own special abilities, players control over 30 characters as they play out one of the most beloved sci-fi series in recent history.
Sam is back! The light-hearted series made famous for its unrelenting horde of monsters and non-stop action is bigger, better looking, and comes with more crazies than before! The brand new graphics pumps up the visuals and physics by an incredible degree, and gameplay elements such as an assortment of vehicles, and some of the most ridiculous weapons ever seen in a shooter - including a kamikaze parrot - keeps things spiced up. From the jungles of M'Digbo to the Chinatown-like world of Chifang, each location boasts its own horde of hilarious enemies, from floating martial arts masters to the upgraded, yelling headless bombers. Err... sort of anyway. In other words, all the things you liked from the original title are back and more pretty.
