    Well-designed maps, two dramatically different sides in the Americans and Japanese, and authentic feeling weapons make Red Orchestra 2: Rising Storm an excellent and unique-feeling first-person shooter. It just needs more players, and a little patience. For $20, it’s one of the best military FPS games I’ve played. I’d say it deserves both.

    You're looking at the best multiplayer shooter set in the Pacific, and the best WWII FPS since Battlefield 1942. Rising Storm's period-accurate weapons emphasize precision in a way that isn't present in other shooters, and the way danger, teamwork, and a sense of authenticity permeate the experience make it an essential game for multiplayer FPS players.

    Rising Storm needs a bit more polishing and a few more updates to really shine, but as it stands it's an excellent escape for old-school FPS fans. If you were a hardcore fan of Heroes of Stalingrad, this is basically an expansion in the Pacific with more gameplay you know and love. For everyone else, take a look if you enjoy tactical FPS action once more of the bugs are ironed out.

    Rising Storm is a great antidote to the - let’s call them ‘console influenced’ shooters out there. It rewards precision and team-work, rather than bunny hopping, quick-scoping and all that other nonsense. With some really strong maps that do a great job of funnelling the action, a varied line-up of classes and the team-focused game-play Rising Storm is a real treat for those who like their shooters large scale and tactical.

    Rising Storm es un juego duro de pelar. No es para todo el mundo, y su acción salvaje y desatada exige un cierto nivel de habilidad en el jugador, pero cuando se asumen sus reglas y se está dispuesto a apostar por su experiencia hardcore se trata de un videojuego muy recomendable. Uno de los multijugadores bélicos más interesantes del momento, y además a un precio muy competitivo.

    Seguramente sería injusto catalogar Rising Storm simplemente como un Red Orchestra 2 con un escenario diferente. Lo cierto es que mantiene la formula que gustó tanto y que le convirtió en uno de los mejores juegos multijugador que podemos encontrar, y además aporta nuevas armas con sus características, algún modo de juego nuevo, y escenarios radicalmente diferentes. Lo suficiente para continuar la guerra alejada del frio Stalingrado.
