    Couldn't skip the intro. Started off with a cutscene before a cutscene, poor visuals, all the controls are made for controllers. Telling me to press RB and LB and A/B/X/Y for things. No options for toggling aiming or crouching (crouch is toggled, aiming isn't?!). Laughable AI, no real story, gave up after a mission or two. Just a really poor generic WW2 shooter done badly.

    For older gamers - like myself (way into the 30s at this point), this game is either going to be a serious affront to the memory of all that was good about Medal of Honor's first instalment - because that is essentially what it is. A modern day Medal of Honor part 1.

A modern day Medal of Honor part 1.
    CryEngine..awesome. Lovely stuff we've had from CryEngine, notably the Crysis series. However, what the devs here have failed to realize is that though you may have impressive names at the front end of your game, piss poor gameplay will **** it right up. And it did. Royally.
    Just a nutshell list for you.
    1. The AI is SHOCKINGLY **** It is so bad in some areas it defies all belief. Any MoH Airborne players will relate immediately to how friggin annoying it is to have AI 'team mates' get in the damn way? Well these ones PUSH YOU out of the way - more often than not into harms way.
    2. There is no real cover mechanics here, you can't peak left or right from behind cover, but worse, the only kind of cover you get is from just moving behind a box or a sheet or metal. That's it! That is ALL it is.
    This leads to
    3. You face a small swarm of enemies, get yourself riddled with bullets and fire back. Rinse and repeat, over and over and over again.
    4. Back to dim AI, there is very little to show of in terms of real war-time tactics used here. If you want a tactical shooter with a WW2 theme, go play Brothers In Arms "Hell's Highway", or similar.

    This game, despite looking fairly good, was let down so very, very, VERY badly, by some seriously poor AI and limited gameplay.
    I hope, if they intend to release a 2nd one - which is unwise at this rate - that it is a VAST improvement upon this one.

    Save your money, buy something else. I mean it. You can thank me later.    … Expand

    Occasionally nice visuals. The story has a promise, but I was not convinced by the Rambo-like reporter. ;) With enough budget and a better team this could make a good cinematic experience. The AI is dumb as a shoe. You can finish the game with the sniper rifle which is good at any distance. The stealth elements are broken, it's always more fun to mow down the enemies with an assault rifleOccasionally nice visuals.

You can finish the game with the sniper rifle which is good at any distance. The stealth elements are broken, it's always more fun to mow down the enemies with an assault rifle (or the sniper rifle!). Gameplay is clunky, this game has better visuals than the old CoD, MoH and BiA games, but is worse in every other aspect. You can play it if you find it in the sale bin and are OK with playing a mindless class B (or C) shooter. There is some fun. On overall, though, I do not recommend this game.… Expand

    it honestly isn't as bad as some of the reviews make it to be. but it's not near good as well. it's generally playable albeit with unimpressive graphics. the AI is pretty dumb. the open-world sand-box concept and the generally many ways you can go about to complete a mission is appreciated but spoiled by the rather tepid enemy AI. the sound track/ musical score on the other hand is pretty good.

    A big dissapointement with this title, I really hoped for great WW2 shooter but what I got is a low budget WW2 shooter that brings nothing interesting with it. This game should be sold as digital download for 15$ because what it offers for current price is a joke.

    -Bugs (First 5-10 minutes of game and I have already seen 3 or 4 bugs and yes some are really annoying)

    -Combat system, it seems to be literally broken, most of the time it takes one bullet to kill enemy when sometimes you have to waste 10 or more bullets on him.

    - Breach/Slow-mo segments are horrible, Terrible hitboxes (I breached a door and had to kill a nazi that was holding somebody hostage about half a meter away from my face, so I shot the hostage in the face... Apparently, that's where the nazi's hitbox was, so the hostage survived and the nazi flopped to the floor) the devs couldn't even be bothered to make the guns' animations and sounds actually adapt to the slow-motion.

    - Map designs, don't be shocked when you will encounter: One building copy-pasted into a different area, with a few textures changed and a few static props added...

    - AI, it's complete nightmare, some enemies take cover, others run into your face and just sit in front of you while spraying down their MP40, they don't seem actually to bother when you will throw grenade under their feets.

    - This game just screams rushed and unpolished... Whoever wrote the subtitles and objectives couldn't even be bothered to check the grammar, let me quote text from game "You have got to hurry up before the enemy shoot the hostage" and believe me theres much, much more of this.

    To sum up:
    Enemy Front at it's current state is one of the most broken games out there at the moment, it doesn't provide fun as it should do and makes you feel frustrated at some point.
    I highly recommend to wait for price to go down and some patched to be released because it's just no fun at the moment.    … Expand

    I had somewhat high expectations for this game after seeing the nice media in-game screenshots and gameplay trailers. The real thing isn't like that. Big disappointment. You won't miss anything if you skip this one.

    Never have hope on CI Games. They always disappoint.
    The graphics in this game really very bad, so does the texture. (CryEngine 3 is awesome but not in this game). The AI is super dumb. I don't know whether the gun is overpowered or the enemy is too weak, you only need to kill them in 1-3 shot but the playable character can take like 20+ shot but still stay alive with a lot of health.

Countless number of glitches and bugs. If you are looking for a WWII FPS Games, go buy Wolfenstein The New Order (with much better graphics and story) or wait for the upcoming Sniper Elite III.

    Next to no unique story. Next to no unique format. Dated graphics. Long load times. Horrible voice acting and scripting. Bad AI. Short linear maps with pretty much the same thing over and over.

    Enemy front is a very mixed bag over all , and although i did enjoy my time with it its not a game i would recommend unless its on a wicked sale

    Story; the game had a very good concept to the story and a previously ( at least not to my knowledge) unexplored front of ww2 , the polish resistance and liberation of Warsaw witch i really liked. Other than a good concept this games story is a mess being all over the place. this game had more flash backs than an average arc of naruto, its jarring to say the least . On top of that the script is awful and the lines are just awkward and characters have very little time to grow. other than the initial concept the story is just awful
    Story: 3/10

    world building: world building in this game is a weird one and i think it was unintentional. its world war 2 and most of the world is taken from history. and that's OK real world is rich with its own history but enemy front doesn't seem to do anything with this besides what we've seen before. the best part of its world building is its literal locations , the country side of Poland is beautiful and you really can see why some one would want to fight for it
    Worldbuilding: 4/10

    graphics: graphics are the best part of this game , lighting is excellent and locations are mapped out really well. hlf of the animations are stiff and clunky , while others are well done, there is a lack of quality control. bad direction is seen throughout this whole game and its a worst game for it. over all the graphics could be a little better but the textures and great lighting make up for it.
    graphics: 7/10

    gameplay: this was such a standard fps that tried to shoe horn in stealth sections when it really didn't need them. stealth was an option the whole game but its pretty redundant. i beat the story by just going guns blazing and it worked. enemy ai was awful , i lead a group of nazis through a gate and they came at me one by one , i just picked them off. i can tell it tried to be a little different but because of bad game direction the game came out average
    Gameplay: 5/10

    Sound design: the music for this game is good but just the individual tracks and their use in game is awful . transitions are awkward and sudden. the voice acting is awkward at best and guns have such repetitive sounds i wanted to plug my ears every time i had to fire a mp40
    sound design: 3/10

    3+4+7+5+3= 22
    22/5= 4.4
    in conclusion enemy front was a bad game from a developer that seems to always put out good looking shooters only to have them be soulless husks    … Expand

    I would situate this game somewhere between ‘acceptable’ and ‘not bad’. Developers had big ambitions and suffered a defeat, but in my eyes it’s an honorable defeat. [08/2014, p.56]

    It doesn't matter if the game explores an interesting yet unknown aspect of WWII, the Warsaw Uprising, its lack of presentation and good art direction, along with tons of bugs, overshadow some interesting design ideas and good level design. The lackluster multiplayer doesn't help much to improve the game, either.
