I used to never like playing CoD(Call of Duty)games, this one changed my opinion. I was at a friends house playing campaign, I fell in love with it. I heard it was good, but never expected to be like this! Bought the game the next day.

The game has the whole WWII theme. Good choice I think. During the game you switch between two different soldiers on two different armies, fight at two different places. The first character you are introduced to is Pvt. Miller, a marine of the U.S. armed forces fighting in Japan. Pvt. Miller had been M.I.A. at the time you first see him. He and his comrades were being tortured. (Yes it is bloody) Yet you are saved just in time from an incoming crew who's mission was to find you and the rest of your troop. The other soldier is Pvt. Petrenko, a soldier for the Red Army(Russia when they were communist) who is fighting the Nazis. At the time you see him first he is on his land(big part of getting vengeance)left in a pile of dead. As you arise, because you have only been wounded, you see a Sergent named Resnov. From there you play your War as both the Red Army and the U.S.

Actual game itself is amazing, yet brutal. Wide variety of guns. I can't exactly think of how to explain the combat scenes, so you'll just have to see for your self. I can explain the brutality though. When you throw any grenade that successfully blows up under someone, the body flies up, with maybe a detached limb or two with bloods flying in all directions. Or if someone get shot by a piercing round, such as a sniper, blood sprays out of the wound. I think the MG machine gun(or any gun that has a chain, such as a Browning) and flamethrower. While shooting the MG, I saw body parts were being blown of the man whenever I hit. Sometimes, when you only shoot of an arm or leg, or both, the man can still live on the ground and shoot back while in his last stand. The flamethrower is brutal, just not as much I think. While using it, I saw the people who got "flamed" stop shooting, scream, and run around, then  finally dropping to the ground with one last "umpf". I know this is probably what the gun did in real war, but it is still brutal to see it. This is why I recommend turning down the gore in the options of the main menu for some of you who can't take it (I think it's called graphic violence in the options).

RECOMMENDATIONS
Do NOT recommend for: children under 13(of course with parent approval with the ages of 13-17) and squeamish people(people who can't take gore, I believe)

I do recommend this for: People who can take gore, people who enjoy first person shooters, people who like watching&playing WWII things, or maybe even someone who is curious about the game.
