This game has some catching up to do on PS 3 graphics + game play. However if you are a beginner or novice player looking for an entry-level first person shooter, this game is for you. I played it on normal difficulty. Most levels are a cakewalk. It is kind of boring for a skilled player but it will be fun for a beginner + train them well. There are a few levels where you need to adjust to a new weapon introduced by the enemy. On the other hand the last few levels were quite fun. The graphics and game play are that of a mid level play station 2 game. Most enemies are fairly stupid and they love to get shot. The last 4 or so levels introduce more challenges and become very fun. When you die and repeat the level, nothing changes. This makes it very easy to memorize where each enemy will be and easy to beat the level on a second or third try. The story line is fair. I only found one lock up in the game. The movement through some places becomes jerky do to some sort of loading issue. Over all for me it was just a few evenings of entertainment while I wait for the next high end shooter.Read full review
I bought this game because the plotline had so much potential. An alternate reality that involves fighting a Nazi invasion in New York City sounded awesome! However, Turning Point was a huge disappointment. The missions are all very linear, so you cannot choose an order in which to do things. Carson goes from point A to point B, bang bang. Now he goes from point B to point C with a different gun, bang bang. It is very robotic and pre-planned. At point C, there is a tank or blimp, bang bang again. Other than token landmarks like the Statue of Liberty, the subways, streets and buildings are generic. The map is not truly patterned after New York, DC, or London streets, and it doesn't matter anyway because there's only one route to pass the level. The graphics look like they belong on the PS2, not the PS3. Honestly, PS2's Killzone had more interesting graphics and gameplay than this. As far as first person shooters go, the Medal of Honor or Call of Duty franchises are far superior. My advice is to rent it or, better yet, just save your money for Call of Duty 4.Read full review
being a HUGE afficianado of Resistance Fall of Man I and II, i was drawn to this title. the historical premise looked promising, and the game opens with u literally on the front edge of the nazi invasion of NY city so it is visually grand, but graphics r only ok, i m pretty spoiled on what else is out there these days. the plot is minimal and linear, game flow is basic player funneled through the landscape with adequate environmental interactivity but again i m jaded. i eventually blew away everyone and everything i needed to in order to complete the game, but the ending left me hanging. C+, B- at best, expect more from this company next time...
Fair amount of action, gun selection is pretty good. Player movement is a little stiff and there are lots of glitches in enemy movement. Sometimes will stall when restarting at checkpoints after dying. Does seem a little like "Medal of Honor" but a poor immitation. Not worth buying brand new for $60 at the store. Find used on Ebay for half or less and it will be an OK game.
The game has little at most for a story line. The hero of the game has no story, little lines. The targeting system is shakey, the best way to describe it. Your enemies AI are a insult to a five year olds. You can be killing one Nazi and two feet away three Nazi's will be standing there doing nothing. They where huge glowing goggle's so they stick out likea sore thumb. The graphics look like there barely Ps2 standard. Turning Point is nothing short of a very cheap rip off of Medal of Honor. Its too bad, its a great concept, they just killed. It's a insult to all WW2 Shooter's and the developer's should hang there head's in shame.
