    Este juego es genial, comenzo ser una competencia contra Halo ya que esta entrega para adelante estaba adaptandose bien a consolas
    Vas a ver una orda de enemigos y compañeros en los niveles como si estuvieses en la segunda guerra mundial, tenia un multijugador online (tambien puedes jugar en pantalla dividida)

    Graficos para su epoca: 8/10

    I remember how hard it was to beat it in the hardest difficulty. It took me weeks.

    Answer: 75 characters is between 10 words and 19 words with spaces included in the character count. If spaces are not included in the character count, then 75 characters is between 12 words and 25 words.

    While probably good for it's time this game is quickly showing it's age when stacked up against newer games. The fragmented story and respawning enemies turn what should have been an exhilarating interactive trip through history into a chore.

    Call of Duty 2 improves upon the first game in many ways. For starters the game looks much better and for a 360 launch title it still doesn't look to bad especially for its time. This one got rid of randomly changing between different fronts from the first game and instead just focus on each front for a few missions instead which makes it much less jarring to play through.

The characters and story are still fairly shallow with no memorable characters except maybe Price but that's just because he shares the same name with a Price in Modern Warfare. I decided to play on veteran for this game just because all the achievements are just beat levels on veteran but I will say this COD game is surprisingly balanced even on the harder difficulty with only a few levels that felt way to hard where houses were felt like clown cars filled with respawning enemies. COD is a solid WW 2 shooter of its time but it still does feel a bit stiff to play at times with low weapon variety and a generic plot. Also the ending just kinda happens like the last level didn't even feel like the last level it just kinda ends. Not my favorite Call of Duty game but by no means is it a bad one.… Expand

    For a game of its era the graphics were good and the combat was great. The only drawback for me was the weak story and poorly designed NPC's. It has non-stop actions and it's a fantastic WW2 game!

    COD 2 c'est le roi la légende le maitre.
    C'est la meilleure campagne solo ever le jeu qui a tout inventé sur le multijoueur.
    Ca reste le jeu qui a fait exploser la licence.

    One of the best Call of Duty games ever made and just a great interpretation of WWII. This game makes you feel like a part of that time in history and gives a glimpse of what war was like. A very good game, a very good shooter, and the 2nd best WWII game second only to Call of Duty: World at War.

    Honestly it's better than what Call of Duty is now. The amount of times the AI in story mode saved my behind is nothing compared to the dumb ones in the newer games. I said what I said.

    Call of Duty 2 is a great sequel. In 2005, she simply had no competitors. You should also consider porting the game to Xbox 360. It was 2 part of COD that allowed the series to switch to consoles and also change the game industry. Classic genre worth recommending to everyone.

    One of the best call of duty game in the franchise and it so amazing dat it's a launch title.
    The only way the game Fields old is the checkpoint system field clunky sometimes but it only in some very few missions.
    The AI is very dynamic which makes it still one of the bunny game to play single player

Not only are the graphics amazing (that still hold up pretty good today) but the campaign levels from each faction are great. You play as the Russians, British, and Americans and all of them have stand out levels. My only complaint would be that the Russian segments were a tad bit too long and the US segment was a tad bit too short. I can see why they did what they did because well we've always play as the US but I wanted to at least play as them a bit more than the other factions. Other than that minor complaint, a phenomenal game that might be my favorite World War II shooter as of date.… Expand

    Call of Duty II is exactly as advertised: a straightforward World War II adventure where you play soldiers in some of the major battlefields of the war: Stalingrad, the north Africa campaign and the European front. In each case, you are a regular grunt seeing and participating at the ground level.

In each case, you are a regular grunt seeing and participating at the ground level.

    On the plus side, the game does a good job of recreating the fronts and the kind of fighting the soldiers would have experienced. The game smartly uses the loading screens to provide brief historical notes to give the various sections context. The gameplay is fast and exciting but the game smartly pulls back from glorifying it too much, emphasizing instead the danger and chaos of frontline combat.

    On the minus side, the game uses regenerating health and continually respawning enemies. It seriously detracts from the realism when the player can get shot in the head without dying and then heal completely by hiding behind a tree for a few seconds. Having endless waves of the exact same enemies appear until you move on to the next point on the compass doesn't help either.

    The game's other feature is that the player controls Allied different soldiers in different fronts. It is a nice mechanic that allows for a panoramic view of the war but it also makes the game less immersive. Rather than play the same character throughout the game, you Quantum Leap from one to another, never staying with one long enough to feel really invested in their efforts.

    So, overall a good game, entertaining and respectful towards history, but not great either.    … Expand

    This Xbox 360 launch title really blew my mind. The game felt so real and it really sucked you in. It also presented a challenge at its hardest game mode, unlike any shooter I was used to at the time. This was the new benchmark in the FPS genre and GOTY for Xbox 360 in 2005.

    We should never forget that at the roots, Call of Duty was one of (the ?) best FPS about World War 2, the second episode of the franchise is still a living proof of how great they recreated this awful, yet epic conflict in a remarkable game with three different campaign offering more than 10 hours of gameplay (if only the modern episodes could take it in example).

    Obviously aged hasn't be kind to the game and all the visual aspects feel outdated (which is pretty normal 10 years after) at the time they were great, but the audio of the game is still awesome and when playing in veteran (one false step and you're dead), you hear dozens of bullets, explosions, and germans shouting all around you, you're kind of afraid and make the game very engagin. We also have a great IA especially for your allies (it's not often in FPS than you don't feel like your teammates are just waiting for you to do all the job) and big scale combats with a lot of characters at the screen. Technically this game was fabulous for 2005.

    The only main default of the game is the abuse of infinite respawn enemies in certain areas, I'm strongly against this in FPS (except of course when you're objective is to hold a position for a certain amount of time), too bad because the rest of the level design is near perfection.

    In conclusion even 10 years after the game is still a reference for the FPS genre, and if you like shooters and don't care too much about visuals I strongly advised this game (you'll find it for almost nothing in the market) you won't be disappointed.    … Expand

    The definitive, most universally appealing WWII title ever made. It's not that the game does anything more or less than its digital brothers in arms, far from it, but instead it strips the genre down to the bare essentials and this turns it into one of the most pure shooters we've seen for some time.

    A freakin' work of art. It is, without a doubt, the best-looking console game to date, and the most psychotically intense World War II shooter to boot.

    Almost everything that makes the PC version one of the year's best shooters remains intact on the Xbox 360 version of the game, which looks just as good and actually runs smoother than all but the most beastly of gaming PCs.
