The term ‘Herr Kommandant’ spoken by someone sounding like John Wayne is a little off-putting. Although, I’m not sure that the voice over was great, I mean, how many Soviet or German commanders at the time spoke in a fluent American accent? Well, they all seem to in here. You get to choose from three famous generals to play as, each coming with their own perks which can buff your soldiers in battle and these buffs do make a difference. Its a history lesson within a game and an unbiased one at that. Starting the game and selecting a mission gives you a brief rundown of what is about to take place and the events which led to the battle happening, so if you want to justify getting the game for your kids then its simple. It’s nice to be able to take control of “The Enemy” and try to replicate the battles that they did win once in a while, and Sudden Strike 4 gives us the perfect opportunity to do so.

There were plenty of battles that took place where the Germans did slaughter a lot of their enemies and this is usually forgotten or ignored as everyone wants to stay patriotic to the victors. Most games that are set around the time of the Second World War always portray the Germans as the enemy and no matter what they do, they will always loose, when the reality was they were merciless soldiers all fighting for their country as were everyone at that time. The great thing about this game is the fact that its a simulation yes, I know that’s an obvious statement but bare with me.

There are three separate campaigns you can take part in playing the Allies (hoorah for Churchill), the Germans and The Soviets and as I said before they are based on real life battles throughout the 20 missions you are tasked with undertaking. Let’s be honest, who out there doesn’t like a war game? The sure releases of the awful Call of Duty games on a yearly basis sums that fact up alone with them selling millions of units.
