"Big Red One" blew me away

I rented Activision's "Call of Duty 2 - Big Red One" from Blockbuster over the weekend and was totally amazed. I saw the TV ad and thought the scenes used with either (1) mock-ups for TV that looked better than they actual render on the console, (2) an Xbox prototype, or (3) a cutaway from the cinematic vignettes. Not at all. The game's as good as advertised.

The game's action from the get-go in the first level, and I had to pause after twenty minutes to wipe the sweat from my brow out of fear the sniper position I'd taken with my squad would be found out.

This game is totally fun and stress-inducing. It's a must-get.
