    This is a game for rent without a shadow of a doubt. The shortness and the general issues with it mean I can’t really recommend anything else.

    A great premise poorly executed. We'd hoped for better, and this fails to deliver. [May 2008, p.68]

    The glitches and poor level design don’t quite ruin a game that should have been so much more than the sum of its parts. Still, there’s some fun to be had here with a weekend rental.

    Overall, Turning Point: Fall of Liberty is game which had some fantastic ideas and concepts. Unfortunately, the great ideas did not transform into a solid shooter.

    After playing through just a bit of Turning Point, we were completely disappointed. The old feeling to it completely ruined the original concept.

    Turning Point: Fall of Liberty is an excellent game idea that doesn’t live up to its potential. Turning Point is filled with dull missions, simplistic artificial intelligence, dated graphics, and a whole pile of over used mojo.

    Shooting Nazis in the streets of three major U.S. cities should be a non-stop thrill ride that has me on the edge of my seat. This game provides the opposite experience.

    Turning Point's minimalist approach to everything - from its stale levels and sticky controls to its thin plot and absent character development - killed what could've been a really unique and engaging shooter and will disappoint hardcore fans of the genre across the board.

    Turning Point's theme of an alternate reality had some possibilities, but even within this fiction you just end up doing uninspired and overworked shootouts. [Apr 2008, p.63]

    A fantastic premise brought down by clunky controls, horrible graphics and bad gameplay, Turning Point is the epitome of a great ideaA fantastic premise brought down by clunky controls, horrible graphics and bad gameplay, Turning Point is the epitome of a great idea mishandled. The idea that the US doesn't enter WWII and the Nazis take over Europe and eventually invade the US is actually pretty cool (albeit the reasoning is basically "Because Winston Churchill died before he was supposed too, which doesn't really explain how Pearl Harbor never happened). But the mechanics behind the game are just downright flawed, and the graphics make it look like a 2001 release. Please, stay away.… Full Review »
