    Even by 2003 standards, Airborne Troops is an extremely uninspired shooter that borrows endlessly from other World War II games, yet still manages to get almost nothing right. Thus, by 2005 standards, Airborne Troops is a wholly poor effort.

    The measure of satisfaction achieved in reaching the end of the game is no more significant than with any other middle-of-the-road game.

    This game is just too unrealistic to make it tick. Airborne Troops manages to get off the ground but it doesn't take long before it crash-lands somewhere behind enemy lines - with nobody bothering to recover it.

    Airborne Troops for the PS2 is a game that may not exude inspiration, but it remains surprisingly enjoyable. As a third-person shooter with aAirborne Troops for the PS2 is a game that may not exude inspiration, but it remains surprisingly enjoyable. As a third-person shooter with a linear, objective-based gameplay, it may lack an intriguing main character and storyline. However, the game's satisfying duck and roll mechanics, combined with sneaking elements, make it entertaining. Not to mention, the timeless satisfaction of taking down enemy troops adds to the overall experience. Despite some shortcomings such as rough aiming and simplistic voice acting, the game's fun factor shines through. Ultimately, that's what matters most to me personally.… Expand
