i was a fan of the first game so i may not give a completely fair opinion.
GRAPHICS= 10 SOUND= 8 STORY= 7 (it introduced lame looking creatures that in my opinion tarnished the quality of the story, and the ending was VERY WEAK)
CONTROLS= 8 (nothing changed, unfortunatly if you play online you still end up using the "A" button too much because you use it to roll, run and get into cover.)
What's great about it: visualy amazing, 5v5 online, horde mode.
What's not so great: story gets short because of focus on online mode

the visuals hold up well, kiefer sutherland is the main voice over actor. (But the story, like all other ww2 games) gets you unmotivated to keep playing because you already know all aspects of ww2.
online mode is good, it carries over perks and other layouts like modern warfare to customizing your soldier. But in the end i still would end up thinking " I'd rather play call of duty 4. "
overall its decent, not great. I'd recommend this game if you don't like gears or fallout. but those games are better in my opinion.
What's great about it: 4 player co-op story, "zombie" Game mode
What's not so great: yet another ww2 game that gets boring after a few days

better improvment of online world tour, battle of the bands feature is good but it doesnt matter what difficulty your at (there are no bonuses for playing on a harder difficulty than another band) there are some songs that i wonder why they ever made it on the game AHEM bob dylan(great song writer just not fun for today's generation).

a very overrated halo that isnt all that better for a 360 game, it would be amazing if it was a xbox game, but for 360 standards it feel well short of expectations, they clamed it would be more challenging, and the only thing that could kill me on legendary where snipers, online play for multiplayer is okay. just not as good as other games with a third the hype.
What's great about it: 4 player co-op & forge
What's not so great: nothing changed as far as appearance
