With multiplayer back in full force with two brand new factions to master and a pretty robust single player campaign that provides plenty of good challenges, Company of Heroes: Opposing Fronts is easy to recommend to players that enjoyed the first game. Because of the complexity of the British and Panzer Elite factions, it may be a bit more difficult for first-time players to get into, which seems to go against the point of creating a stand-alone product that you're hoping new players will see and adopt. Either way, Company of Heroes is still an exhilarating experience on all fronts and Relic is showing again why they're firmly in the top tier strategy designers in the business.
Overall score: 8.8/10
The Humble Company of Heroes Complete Bundle just launched. It includes Company of Heroes, Company of Heroes 2, Company of Heroes: Tales of Valor, and more.
British game publisher Feral Interactive has released Company of Heroes: Opposing Fronts as a DLC for their award winning strategy game.
GameZone writes, "The Humble Bundle might be one of my favorite things to spend money on each year. Not only because I get a good amount of games for very cheap, but I also get introduced to a lot of indie games that I would have otherwise missed out on.
This time though, the Humble Bundle doesn't include bite-sized indie titles; instead, we're treated to an amazing five THQ games with two expansions. What's more, each of those games (with the exception of one) have a sequel coming up, or did come out this year. Let's look at what exactly is offered here."
I would get it if I didn't already own all that interested me pretty much. I have Saints Row, Metro, and the GOOD Red Faction (Guerrilla). Not really interested in Company of Heroes... Darksiders interests me, but I'm not sure I really need it right now...
