Cute grouse shooter featuring sleek CryEngine graphics and unnecessary censorship

Who would have thought five years ago that World War II shooter even eke out a marginal existence and group are missing heartily of the player base? Not me. After all the present and future shooters of recent years appears to Enemy front for once again a WW2 shooter who kindly equal the popular CryEngine used as a basis and may reflect what is happening in supposedly Schicker optics. However, after the first mission is clear that we can get not to do it in this game with a caliber ala Wolfenstein ...

"Enemy Front tells the story of an experienced soldier who performs dynamic missions behind the lines of the Nazis. These range from firefights over spy orders to sabotage. The story leads over several years at major theaters of war, from the trenches of the devastated France, through battles in Berlin and finally to a secret military facility. There the player must prevent the production of a superweapon, which would mean for the Nazis to secure victory. " (Press release)

Similar Bound by Flame, which was published in Fahtwasser of Dark Souls 2, Enemy Front hopes with predatory and dangerous cover anything from Wolfenstein: The New Order abzubekommen hype cake. However, in my opinion it concerns with Enemy front rather a rock solid high score shooter. The missions are indeed touted in advertising copy as varied and playful valuable, but limited only on hordes of enemies to kill, then to run to the checkpoint and to do exactly the same thing. Here and there the achievement of checkpoints with the placing of bombs, flipping switches or the like is replaced, the pattern remains proven. The only so-called "dynamic" is that you rarely can decide between two weapons, which are a held by a freedom fighter's nose or denies an alternative route in a mission. So you can decide, for example, whether a church stormed from the front or from behind and then blown up to be stormed. It is also possible to sneak. This makes, as no cover system and ridiculous melee animation but no fun. Pseudo-features more. Also almost unreal is called KI, because it is not really there. The opponents almost never notice a while sneaking, but by discovering a even through walls and shoot from farthest distance at the highest difficulty level almost perfect to me. The Computer colleagues seem to rather like Counter Strike bots.

Points does Enemy Front clearly with the chic graphics. She does not move while on Crysis 3 level, but white, especially in areas such as the colorful forest Mission to überzegen quite at the beginning. The green pastures look tired, the sun shines nice on the whole area and the vegetation is dense. Since it's almost a shame that most missions play in gray bunkers and destroyed areas, but as the war was now once. The charm is clearly to be to shoot in varied areas of enemy wave to wave of enemies. And contrary to expectations, makes the whole thing even a lot of fun, because the story unlike Call of Duty and Co. not maßloß taking too seriously and more comes into appearance in the margin. Fanned the Baller orgy of sporadic sniper passages and door entry into slow-motion, similar to Medal of Honor Warfighter, for example. Nett. Nice is also the fact that the German opponents actually speak German and speak Freiheitskämpfper times with British, Russian or French accent. This contrasts to the atmosphere. Thus, of course, is absolutely essential that you, the voice output in English, otherwise Americans saith your perfect German.

What I like less the lack of impact of the sympathetic old weapons. Recoil I do not feel, feedback results is also not really. With such a focus on the Shooting Team of CI Games should work in this direction a little more. Were again in the German version, all cut and terms like "Nazi" removed "unconstitutional symbols". The discussion is endless, but simply highly silly. While even Nazis are the enemy continuously and be shot down, also happens otherwise absolutely nothing inappropriate. Wolfenstein is there a completely different league. Even a completely destructible environment as stated in the press release is true rather rare. There simply very many scripts sequences in relatively schlauchigen levels.

Overall, "Enemy Front 'a nice grouse shooter in chic appearance, its lack of budget is felt in many corners and edges. The developer does not stain itself indeed with their Sniper: Ghost Warrior series fame. We simply have to do it only with a mediocre shooter through and through, which is firmly behind the Rumgeballer. Fans of Painkiller, Call of Juarez Gunslinger and Co. are likely to access, although high scores, varied weapons and opponents but missing. Friends of Battlefield, Call of Duty, etc., however, are likely to have less pleasure in the game, but perhaps not they know just classic shooter appreciate. Who knows ...

The Limited Edition while waiting for a bonus mission that can be driven directly from the main menu. Also there are a few bonus weapons. The multiplayer is not worth mentioning.
