This game looks well cool! It so different to all the games that have been released. I would recommend watching the trailer before getting it, it depends on opinion of what games you like and what kind!
 Great idea! But not a great game April 22, 2008

I was really looking forward to get my hands on this game, as I believe it's concept of the second world war continuing is an excellent idea.
The gameplay isn't too bad, but it could be much better. The game seems uncomplete as there isn't even a radar allowing you to find your way to the objective, and the only way to findout your next objective is to look on the start menu.
The graphics and controls aren't bad, but when following other characters during gameplay, they tend to disappear in thin air and as mentioned earlier it is so easy to get lost in the small maps as there isn't a radar.
The game is still enjoyable, but it could have been so much better. I'd recomend Freedom Fighters on the PS2/XBOX as a better alternative.
it was fun while it lasted March 24, 2008

i rented this game and i have already completed it. that took me 2 hours to complete it, it far too short and it seems as if the develepers havnt put enough effort in to it. its a fun fast paced fps but bores me at times. sometimes you will get stuck on a mission and not know where to go and the game doesnt help with that unlike uncharted where as if you get stuck the game gives you a hint. all in all just another average shooter for 2008. if you want a war game stick to call of duty 4. or at least rent this to complete it.
turning point. give the game a chance! April 26, 2008

yep, the game has nothing ground breaking but the gameplay is there. it just keeps you coming back for more. i have had it a week now and im still playing it, nice features like grabbing an enemy and using him as a shield and when your'e done with him throw him to the ground and rob his gun. planting explosives on tanks, hiding in shadows to avoid being seen by blips. plenty of climbing and jumping involved and some pretty nice weapons to get your hands on. graphics aren,t brill but they serve their purpose and for people who say they are ps1 or ps2 graphics need to get thier head examined. with regards to the online gaming i can,t rate it because for some reason there are never any servers available!
if you can find this game at a nice price i would recommend it.
 An Absolute Disgrace March 24, 2008

I was hardly expecting a masterpiece from Turning Point, but after playing this to completion, I can honestly say its one of the worst games in recent years, and without doubt the shoddiest FPS of this generation.
The most obvious problem are the graphics. An absolute disgrace, and have a similar look to early Medal of Honour games on PSOne. This is no exaggeration, and considering its use of the Unreal Engine 3, this is all the more shocking. Textures, objects and entire sections of the map are re-used, while the overall look is blocky with minimal detail. Non essential paths are blocked off, only enforcing the hugely linear design. Explosions do look nice, yet nothing in the environments can be destroyed at random, not even crates.
Enemy intelligence is appalling, often taking several seconds to notice you (even on the harder settings).
The story is schizophrenic to say the least. At the start of the game you are a construction worker, yet a few levels in are leading an assassination attempt on the White House. By the games final act, you are Americas last and only hope. The story flits between locations and set pieces with no real character development, in fact almost every level sees a new type of resistance group needing your character to perform a random task, giving the plot no sense of continuity and shifting focus when its not needed.
But plot and character development are the very least of Turning Points problems. For a game set in an alternte history, more could have been done to liven up the weaponry. They lack any sense of power and the contol scheme is twitchy. Thanks to the aiming system used, unfavourable comparisons to Call Of Duty 4 are inevitable. This aiming mode blocks the majority of the screen, including whats being aimed at!
Enemies don't even flinch when shot, those crouching when killed have the tendency to stand up and then fall down again. Comical.
Quite a few Nazi soldiers literally appear from thin air when walking into a room.
The game is just 8 short levels, one of which is the games opening invasion where you dont even possess a gun. The whole shambles is easily completed within a day. More upsetting is the fact there are no unlockables or rewards; so everything really has been seen on that first play.
The game is broken and glitchy, heads appear through doors, guns stick to walls. The animation is laughable, especially when an enemy runs or attempts to crouch.
The human shield, Turning Points one innovative feature doesent always work. Similarly, certain actions require button prompts, like when opening a door or activating a switch. These don't always appear, leaving you wondering where you have to go next. As the game is painfully linear, it seems obvious. Then, after returning to the spot again it will finally appear. Sometimes reloading the previous checkpoint is even required for these prompts to appear. Similarly, squad members will refuse to repeat a mission objective, leaving a reload the only option if it was missed.
The game switches to a third person viewpoint when performing the above tasks. However, the shift always feel awkward and disorientating. In fact, this only serves to highlight how poor TP's graphics are and how unplayable it is.
On a less important but equally frustrating note, the game installs itself on the PS3s hard drive (2.5GB) in a similar way to Devil May Dry 4. The point of this is to reduce loading times, yet even in Falling Points small environments, the loading screen flickers violently at random points. So what is this space used for?
I read somewhere that Spark, the games developer, made Turning Point in 9 months.
Which makes you wonder what Spark did during this time.
It looks and plays like a PSOne game, not a 2008 full price release.
Very insulting stuff.
