    I'm not going to lie this is a low quality game but in saying this I think it's overly punished because I still found it able to entertain me. I would strongly suggest anyone to read other reviews which strongly point out the weakness in this game then maybe come back to my review because I think my review sees the game from a different perspective. It it bad? Yes. Can it be enjoyedI'm not going to lie this is a low quality game but in saying this I think it's overly punished because I still found it able to entertain me. I would strongly suggest anyone to read other reviews which strongly point out the weakness in this game then maybe come back to my review because I think my review sees the game from a different perspective. It it bad? Yes. Can it be enjoyed though? Absolutely. What's missing from other reviews is that despite the garbage quality of the game it does make one feel reasonable immersion. This isn't borderlands where being reckless is inconsequential. This is old school you slip up that's it you are virtually done. So this is why there are no health packs and why weapon loading takes crazy amounts of time. And also why checkpoints are sparse. You better go slow and make good decisions when to pilfer and what may be inside a hut or in that jungle brush. This is realism really and imo a strong point of the game. Just imagine being in the situation in real life would you just run out in the middle of the field like a dog running across a busy highway? I think not. Would it be important to not loose count of your ammo. Absolutely. This game doesn't a great job in this respect and even enemy placements and encounters aren't individually scripted the same each time you try a mission it will play out somewhat differently unlike most games which have set enemy placements in 100 % of the game. Unfortunately low quality is still low quality though and thus the game still gets a low score. Just saying it is underrated and I think a 5/10 is more reflective of all considerations of this games design.… Expand

    As awful as repeating any of these single-player mission sounds, it's something that you're going to have to get used to. Due to the unfair advantages of the enemy, including the fog of war that prevents you from seeing what lies ahead, you will constantly be surprised by waves of enemies as you push forward without the ability to obtain any intelligence or reconnaissance.

    The graphics, gameplay and AI seem like they fell out of a time warp from too many years ago. With much better games that came out just a short while ago available at a comparable cost, there isn't a good reason to purchase Iwo Jima.

    From top to bottom World War II Combat: Iwo Jima is a terrible game with no redeeming qualities whatsoever.
