After winning 2003 PC "Game of the Year" awards from a number of magazines and online publications, the World War II-themed first-person shooter Call of Duty seeks its Finest Hour in this 2004 console version. As in the home computer original, PlayStation 2 players experience the game through three different campaigns, which have them taking the roles of an American, British, and Russian soldier in turn.

Each campaign is designed to offer a distinct perspective, as the player's characters and their squad mates participate in historically inspired battles across four different continents. The Call of Duty series is noted for its historical accuracy and cross-cultural perspectives, its interactive environments, and its cinematically styled approach to story-telling. The PC original was developed by Infinity Ward, a team comprising several designers who had worked on the successful Medal of Honor series. The Finest Hour console versions of Call of Duty are the first games from developer Spark Unlimited.

Features:
Engage Hitler's war machine through 12 missions in single- or multiplayer online action
Experience World War II through the eyes of American, British, and Russian soldiers in a number of military theatres
Charge into battle using era-authentic weapons including M1 Garands, Russian DPMs, British Stens, and more

  MANUFACTURER'S DESCRIPTION:

THE WORLD'S DARKEST HOUR SHALL BE YOUR FINEST.

Head to the frontlines of World War II's epic battles, including the Russian charge of Stalingrad, British PPA Commando raids in North Africa and American-led tank battles in Belgium.

Intense battlefield moments put you in the heat of the action.

Together with your squad, take on a variety of epic Single Player combat missions or go online for Axis vs Allies team-based Multiplayer action.
