This thread has been linked to the game 'Hour of Victory'.
While browsing my local Blockbuster, I came across this game "Hour of Victory", which was made by Midway. It looked pretty good, so I decided to rent it.
-Single Player-
So, single player. In the Campaign mode you get to choose 1 of 3 characters each mission. Each character can do different things in a mission. The 3 types of characters are Stealth, Commando, and Sniper. Being Stealth allows you to pick locks, being a Commando allows you to move objects, and being a Sniper allows you to grapple things. Now I don't really see why you can't move objects as a Sniper or Stealth. Same thing for using a grappling hook too. The Stealth class is pretty useless, and so is the sniper. Basically all your doing is killing all the enemies and moving on. The only good class to choose would be the Commando. Plus, picking locks, grappling, and moving objects doesn't really make any difference in a level.
The campaign is rubbish. The enemy AI is stupid, they can hide behind something and not move at all, just waiting for you to kill them. The campaign is boring and isn't anything amazing.
-Multiplayer-
Don't know. No one plays on Multiplayer, probably because its rubbish as well.
Overall:
The game is terrible, not worth buying, not worth renting. Don't waste your money or time with this.
