    The graphics aren’t going to wow you either with less then impressive textures, animations, and just plain graphical quality. The audio follows suit with scripted voice acting and a lack of sound effects that would make WWII come to life.

    Everything in this title borders on barely functional, from the blurry graphics (no, that isn't Vaseline on your TV screen) to the imprecise targeting. [Aug 2004, p.96]

    It has the most idiotic aiming scheme in any WWII game.

    Combat Elite: WWII Paratroopers is a...well it's a decent game. I've certainly seem better but at the same time, I've seen far much worse. SoCombat Elite: WWII Paratroopers is a...well it's a decent game. I've certainly seem better but at the same time, I've seen far much worse. So I'll give it a bit of leeway in terms of my rating of it. The system may be clunky, what with Germans shooting you off screen. As well as a basic RPG element that really doesn't belong there. But the game is still fun, it'll keep you busy for quite a while, maybe even for a second playthrough. But this is weighted down by the issues above, add in a confusing mission layout, what with missions lasting anywhere for twenty minutes to like, twenty seconds. As well as basically useless allies in combat and a generic story.

    While it isn't the best game, Combat Elite: WWII Paratroopers gets a 6/10 from me. It has a few fun elements to it, but the overall bad system lowers its score. It's only above five because it kept me busy, I played through all three characters yet I wanted more. Fun but flawed game.    … Full Review »

    I really like this game, only the camera leaves something to be desired, but the physics and animations are pretty cool and it still has a Coop

    This game is a fantastic WW2 game. Perfect for the begining gamer but to easy for the advanced. Since I am begining in this genre I give it a 9.
