    Lackluster graphics, subpar sound, and a lack of features make this game, the sequel to 2005's Heroes of the Pacific(one of my favorite games of all time) a sequel only Hollywood can be proud of. It looks last gen, suffers from unforgivable slow down when the action heats up, and is sparse in its content, providing 14 campaign missions and 4 modes/maps for MP.

It looks last gen, suffers from unforgivable slow down when the action heats up, and is sparse in its content, providing 14 campaign missions and 4 modes/maps for MP. The slowdown is almost unbearable, but some other quirks loom inside this rough ride: texture pop up abounds, collision detection is laughable, and the game won't allow you to target certain enemies...... and the friendly AI is worthless to boot. Another weird quirk; the rumble feature is not selectable, and everytime a bullet hits you, or you engage warspeed, the controller vibrates more violently than in any game I have ever played. Result? numb hands and a dead controller battery, certainly NOT a fun or engaging feature. I had my hopes up for this game. It does NOT deliver, other than in the cool 40's menus. Save your money, or at best rent this game. The competition that just released earlier in the month has quite a bit more to offer, both in replay and in quality. This one crashes and burns.… Expand

    Shallow and dull, but it's also inoffensive and marginally enjoyable. [Oct 2009, p.73]

    Heroes Over Europe--sequel to Heroes Over the Pacific--offers armchair aces yet another reason to climb back into the cockpit, provided you already have a love for the genre. [Sept 2009, p.84]

    The fact is, Heroes Over Europe does a lot very right; it just happens to do very few things in total.
