'Time-Travelling Genuine WW2' on XBox & Wii. (£500000000 from Play.com) Tremendous, all my friends are really dead and I have no spleen or lower bowel after 5 minutes of truly accurate gaming action, the PTSD nightmares are something else too. Accuracy as yet unequalled by any other video game... but it made a bit of a mess of the living room. Oh, hang on... it may have been a beta version I played, not really sure any true accuracy is really a criteria 'combat' games will ever achieve . Before I get my coat : Appreciating my above commentary is facetious... I did actually wonder about this of late. Just how much 'accuracy' do we want them to achieve with games? I enjoy the odd blast at a ww2 shooter but if it got to the point where all players, say at an Arnhem scenario, had the correct names and faces for actual participants would we still want to play it? I think I'd start feeling a little uncomfortable at certain levels of historical accuracy and would always want to maintain a mildly cartoonish feel. I really don't want to 'shoot' people's Dads & Grandads (Or sapper, Ron, Jack, et.al! ) whether or not it's 'only a game'. It's odd because I can live with accurate personality identifications in more remote strategy games, but don't think I ever want them (as I'm sure will become perfectly possible soon) rendered in first person games as photo-quality reproductions?? Cheers, Adam.
i didn't have experience in this game... will start it today... __________________ Construction Games
