CoD2's recipe for immersion starts with an ultra-realistic visual setting, but the biggest part of what made the game a standout is the excellent audio. Engrossing sound effects, superb voice acting and a powerful musical score combine for a grand achievement in game audio. Every weapon has been painstakingly modeled and sounds historically accurate. You'll eventually learn to tell friend from foe by weapon report alone.
The graphics look amazing. They are well defined with crisp textures and colorful and gritty environments. The only time you'll see blood is when you make a kill but you'll see an awful lot of killing. Not to mention hear a lot screaming as soldiers' lives are taken for their cause. This attention to realism is actually disturbing. It reminds you that war isn't a party.
Call of Duty 2 is just about everything you would hope for and expect from the sequel to one of the most successful World War II shooters of all time. Its varied campaign, excellent sound and gameplay design, and generally good AI make it a worthy successor to the original. At the same time, though, it's still a World War II shooter, and if you've grown weary of them, then Call of Duty 2's lack of new material might turn you away.
