    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.

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.… Full Review »
