    Like MGS with its own perks here and there.The reality of the game sets it apart from most other WW2 games.In short, this game is great!

    Not the best third person action game out there but fun nevertheless.Not a WW2 difficulty hell like CALL OF DUTY,but an easy to pick up game with OK controls and camera.I paid $14 for it new,and it is well worth the money.

    Okay, so its not MGS or MEDAL of HONOR>.but it is cheap and FUN....keyword is FUN..simple to use, straight forward..graphics a little dated and controls no worse than a LOT of other supposedly good games.

    Airborne 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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
