Hour of Victory

Hour of Victory Description

Hour of Victory is a first person World War II shooter that allows you to play three key roles in the cinematic European and North African battles. You can choose between Major Ambrose Taggert, Lieutenant William Ross and Sergeant Calvin Blackbull. Taggert's an American OSS operative who specialises in the art of stealth, armed with nothing more than a survival knife and a silenced Sten MK 2. He can be used to great effect by leaping from the shadows and picking off unsuspecting Nazis one by one. Lieutenant William Ross is a British SAS commando who prefers the head-on, frontal assault. He can take double the damage of the other soldiers. Sergeant Calvin Blackbull (or 'The Bull') is a US Army Ranger, who specialises at sniping, with deadly accuracy. Blackbull is noticeably faster than other soldiers and can jump greater distances. As you progress through the game, you will notice that on each level there isn't a fixed route to take: depending on your character you take can shortcuts or climb to vantage points. Every level has more than one way to completion, which means you don't have to re-do the level to find the one and only solution. As you fight your way through each level, you'll be bombarded from every angle by bombers, Panzers and Howitzers. A great feature of the game is your ability to take control any vehicle you see fit. From Sherman tanks to Kubelwagons, if you see it, you can drive it. There is also a huge array of weaponry ranging from cattle prods to rocket launchers.

Three Unique POVs - Players can pick from a Covert Operative, specializing in stealth and sabotage; a British Commando specializing in the guns-blazing frontal assault; or an Army Ranger who specializes in sniping and demolitions.

Major Ambrose Taggert, American OSS Operative - Specialty: Infiltration - Taggert specializes in silent kills, as he surprises his enemies with a cold blade before they even hear him. Hiding in the shadows or behind natural cover, Taggert's silent Sten gun helps conceal his location while dealing a deadly blow to the Germans.

Lieutenant William Ross, British SAS Commando - Specialty: Assault - Ross is a strong and dedicated soldier who wastes no time in engaging and destroying the enemy head on. Skillfull in frontal assault, the lieutenant will move objects out of his way if he has to, all the while with guns blazing.

Sergeant Calvin Blackbull, US Army Ranger - Specialty: Sniper - Sergeant Blackbull, also known as "Bull," is calm under pressure, able to hold his breath and take out his target from long range with deadly accuracy. Bull is nimble, able to jump long distances and climb obstacles that might slow other soldiers down.

Full Use of Any Vehicle on the Battlefield - Use any of the vehicles you find on the battlefield to accomplish your mission. From Sherman Tanks to the Axis Tiger Tanks to the Kubelwagons, if you can see it, you can drive it in Hour of Victory.

Cinematic Gameplay - Hour of Victory blends authentic details and realism of World War II with frenetic gameplay. From the JU-88 Bombers in the sky to the Panzers in the streets, Hour of Victory bombards you from all angles.
