This is the price excluding shipping and handling fees a seller has provided at which the same item, or one that is nearly identical to it, is being offered for sale or has been offered for sale in the recent past. The price may be the seller's own price elsewhere or another seller's price.
The "off" amount and percentage simply signifies the calculated difference between the seller-provided price for the item elsewhere and the seller's price on eBay. Hey everyone, thanks for taking the time to read this review. I would like to start off by stating that I have not yet completed the game but even if i had I really don't think it would change my opinion. The developers take a really good story idea - what if the nazi's were victorious in Europe and invaded America?
After playing Call of Duty 4, this games' enemies are hardly a challenge. Save the cash and pick up CoD 4. This game is the reason I bought a Xbox console! Unfortunately, the marketing and hype surrounding this game surpassed the actual gameplay. You are a construction worker on a high rise building when the Germans invade America! Great graphics of the invasion feature waves of huge aircraft carrying blimps. Jets, bombers and paratroopers disembark from these aerial behemoths.
After you surprise a Nazi paratrooper, throwing him off a high rise, you pick up a weapon and you are on your way. You help the fledgeling US military fight off the invasion.
From there on its just one multi opponent shoot out after another. While a great shooter, it kind of goes downhill from the exciting beginning. If you are a fan of alt ernate history however, this one is definitely for you.

If you love zeppelins -- I mean if you really, really love zeppelins -- you'll at least get something out of Turning Point as there's a blimp around every corner. Apparently, by , when Turning Point takes place, the German Luftwaffe has arrived at the inevitable conclusion that dirigibles are the aircraft of choice for low air support.
I'm not sure what bulletproof material they're fashioned from, but the only way I can ground them is to shoot them with six consecutive rockets. They're actually called "assault blimps" in the game, and they made me laugh. Super-zeppelins and tepid storylines would be somewhat forgivable if Turning Point played like a dream, but it does not.
Most of the levels are dull, and the ones that are interesting are plagued like the rest of the game with bad artificial intelligence. Except for the last act of the game there are three , enemies are rarely aggressive and seem heavily scripted. I was never once flanked or otherwise outmaneuvered by Nazi forces, many of whom were wearing bright orange goggles that made them ridiculously easy to spot at a distance.
Multiple times I was able to walk directly up to enemies who were facing me but seemed to not even realize I was there.
I dealt them death, but my victories were hollow. That's because there's no blood or body damage of any kind in Turning Point. There are Nazi flags, swastikas and the twin lightning bolts of the SS at every turn, but I can't have blood? It's usually no more fun killing enemies from a distance in Turning Point, either.
I found the aiming controls to be jerky and inconsistent, and they often changed wildly in feel from one weapon to the next. The game uses a grenade detection system like the one used in Call of Duty 4, but it's also imprecise and tells you little about how close you are to a grenade or where it landed. But that's not to say it doesn't work fundamentally as a shooter.
If you're a hardcore gotta-play-em-all shooter fan and have been longing for a return to the WWII themes popularized by series like Medal of Honor, Turning Point will grab your interest. The game works, start to finish, and there is a cohesive albeit thin story to be told along the way. Unfortunately, the straight-up playability of the game is marred by some examples of sloppy execution, the worst of which is the "hand" icon that is supposed to appear over usable items in the environment.
It works well enough on doors, but in many levels of the game trying to get the icon to appear over levers, valves, elevator buttons and ladders is maddeningly difficult.
I'm not playing a point-and-click adventure here, and I'm not interested in moving my reticule pixel-by-pixel over a lever handle until the hand icon appears.
Glitches like these kill Turning Point's pacing, which is already spotty at best. Boring story and rough gameplay don't matter as long as it looks awesome, right?
Well, wrong, but it doesn't matter anyway because Turning Point is not a graphically accomplished game. The graphics are not impressive, and clipping and framerate stutter are common. When multiple enemies or other activities are present on-screen, serious slowdown usually follows.
For a modern first-person shooter on a current-generation console, this game performs poorly. Turning Point is the very definition of a linear game, which would be fine if exciting things happened along the way, which they really don't.
There are a few standout moments where the level designers seemed to break away and try new things, but the game is otherwise repetitive and uninteresting. And aside from moving through the maps, there's nothing else to keep your attention.
There are no secrets to be found, no hidden paths, no collectible items and few exciting scripted events.
