Gameplay

WWII: Normandy is a first-person shooter that places players in the role of a paratrooper from the 101st Airborne Division, dropped behind enemy lines near Utah Beach during the D-Day invasion. The game attempts to capture the chaos and isolation of the mission, where scattered troops must form improvised units to clear paths for landing forces and block enemy reinforcements. Gameplay unfolds across ten short levels, with a few bonus maps available via patch. Missions are brief and can be completed in roughly three hours on standard difficulty. Players face off against German soldiers. The arsenal is minimal—just a machete, pistol, rifle, machine gun, bazooka, grenades, and land mines. Land mines a strategic element, allowing players to eliminate groups of enemies with careful placement. [2]

Reception

GameSpot gave the game a score of 4.3 out of 10, stating: " If you want to relive the Normandy invasion, take that $20 and use it toward the purchase of the Saving Private Ryan DVD. Besides, the film plays about as long as it'll take you to complete WWII Normandy". [2]

The game sold more than 45,000 units in the United States. [5]
