"Turning Point: Fall of Liberty" a game maid by "Codemasters" an good company that brought us games such as "Operation Flashpoint: Cold War Crisis" , "Operation Flashpoint: Resistance", "Overlord", and ...ugh..."Clive Barkers: Jericho" three pretty good games (Jericho was a piece of arse an recoil if ya think I'm wrong then go an jump of a cliff), after being quiet for so long and digging trough pits of ideas or even asking wondering hobos for ideas they came with "Turning point: Fall of Liberty"
A new game promising us allot of fun and more action, but let me say this if ya put your head in the toilet and flush a few times, that's the same experience you'll get from this game. The game it self doesnt offer a new type of story, just another of those fucking "what if" things, that have been maid so many fucking times I wanna hurl. This time it shows another of the WWII saga, in which the Nazis are coming to take over America, sounds familiar doesnt it. Same thing was done but with Freedom Fighters an instead of Nazis we had Russians in the modern time. An the hero himself isn't different, who we had in Freedom Fighters, correct a fucking plumber, here we get a fucking worker, who was running from a building he was working on an becomes the new cunt of the fucking freedom fighters, going Rambo with every gun sticking out of every hole in his body and ass.
So now let's talk about more then the twit copied story line. The game play an graphics, well if you hope that the game play is gonna be some kind of rope to save this shitty project, then you can cut with a knife an let it fall on the jagged rocks of stupidity. The AI is basically shit, since nazi Soldiers hide behind barrels with gasoline, ammo crates or even positions where you can take them out with a bloody sniper rifle, the AI of your fellow teammates isn't better, they are like walking target practice for enemy MG's or snipers, not fucking hiding when they need to, they charge directly in to enemy fire, getting drizzled around like Swiss cheese. Oh and the safe points let me say about that, what Im gonna say will make you wanna call me a cunt an jock but it sucks. Ya don't get to save unless you find a checkpoint "Thats pretty dandy" most of you would say, since checkpoints are sometimes good, but in this case its not, let me give ya an example. You start at one part of the city while the checkpoint is at another, so youll need to dodged enemy bullets, snipers, bomb an other shit just to make to another safe zone, an when your almost there you suddenly get killed by a fucking bastard sniper who appears out of nowhere, and must have scopes for eyes or something and then your back starting the whole fucking bullshit level again. There isnt a huge variety of missions its basically kill that, blow up shit, steal stuff an take over those fucks, just like Freedom Fighters but with a mix of Commandos Strike Force
The graphics aren't very bad, but they can't be called as new, basically you can call the graphics as "Far Cry" graphic thing, since we get clear water, gray sky's, and allot of ruins an burning, again the Freedom Fighters reference, the only thing is missing is posters...Oh wait they do have posters an even nazi symbols placed everywhere like some fucking plasters for bad holes or something'.
Now about the weapons factor. Well it bassicly makes me wonder that are we REALLY in WWII and not some fucked up future or something' like that. The weapons look like fucking super power machine guns with flashing lights for bullets, ammo capacity is really silly since an MP40 has about 50 bullets in one clip an the MG-42 looks like a reject from the Return to Castle Wolfenstein, not to mention of heavy RPG's looks like a barrel from a tank that's been sawned off, giving a trigger and a cross air an fires rockets without even needing on reloading the fucking thing. Also the German vehicles are pretty fucked up, making a half truck looking like some kind of Soviet BTR is bad idea, but when suddenly the Nazis getting fucking planes that fly about at 90 m/hour, and shoot rockets and bullets like it's a fucking rain day, makes me wonder if this isn't also a RTCW theft.
Now lets talk about the enemies in the game. In the beginning levels (1, 2 to be exact) you meet the regular Nazi soldiers, with basic WWII weapons. But after level 2, you suddenly get a kick in the teeth with a combat boot and face SS soldiers and some kind of gas mask wearing freaks, that act like they are fucking terminators taking two hole clips from an MP40 or a Tommy gun in the chest an one grenade. I don' know if the producers played to much RTCW or watched too much WWII sci-fi movies or something, but these guys are certainly fucking tough and it gets annoying when you face these bastards instead of normal soldiers trough the rest of the game. Also on certain levels you fight nazi tanks or planes, but the tanks look like some kind of mix between fucking Soviet tanks and something from the Terminator or the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen if not both.
The game it self is pretty short, just when you finally get used to this shit, it gives you a crazy spin about 180 degrees an says the game is over, so called "boss" fights are also a fucked up idea, since you cant tell when your fighting a boss or another annoying douche, since they are both on the same caliber of not getting killed fast. The music and the sound effects are not any better, Nazi soldiers speak in fake German, if not sounding like idiots from WWII time cartoons and the teammates repeat the same fucking lines to many god fucking times, it makes me wanna shoot them my self, and the music is something like the songs of the 30's, opera and sometimes over done to the grave and back Nazi anthem.
So all in all I can say that "Turning Point: Fall of Liberty" is defiantly a fall, a fall to the pit of "you all are fucking cunts" the game didnt show us anything new, OR what it showed us in trailers. Mostly its a combination of Freedom Fighters, RTCW, Commandos Strike Force an other good games, and popular movies or comics; and using the both over used topics such as "what if" and "WWII" is only for desperate people, and these guys showed us that. So we can just say that "Turning Point: Fall of Liberty" is just another copy project of great hits in hopes of getting a gold star or at least hitting the shelfs of some gamers. But if youre a dumb ass nut, who has an IQ of a tree, doesnt have a life, and believes any shit that people shove down your noggin and mouth, youll enjoy this game
