| COMPANY OF HEROES |
Destruction in Company of Heroes is a beautiful thing. Buildings take multiple satchel charge strikes to take down and watching parts of them topple through the air is really satisfying. Each of the units react to being shot at and readily return fire. While you still control their goals and focus their fire, managing each unit's wellbeing isn't always an issue. They'll still die though, and during testing, we don't remember any one unit auto-retreating after most of its unit was eliminated. The campaign mode of the game begins with the D-Day invasion at Omaha Beach. Reminiscent of the first Medal of Honor, Company of Heroes captures the horrors of the early days of World War II. Taking the beach this time requires a rough strategy, as 25 soldiers take the beachhead. Even RTS players will find the level challenging and with so many WWII games on the market, the heightened design detail in the first level sets the tone for the rest of the campaign mode.
