Gallipoli

Gallipoli is worthwhile for those who enjoy historical FPS games, with a more tactical pace and weapons that demand patience and technique rather than skill. It's not a game for those who want modern action, constant running, deceptive slides, supernatural jumps, easy aiming, and rewards every five seconds. It's tougher, slower, and less interested in being just another FPS. Here, it tries to blend a bit of simulation with the end-game experience, something that works well.

Gallipoli may have been a traumatic defeat for the British, in spite of ANZAC heroics, but it is a resounding success for BlackMill Games. This is the culmination of lessons and experience picked up in the previous three titles that have consistently set the bar not just for World War I shooters but large-scale warfare games as a whole. Gallipoli stands taller than the ancient ruins and towering hills it depicts, and is a strong contestant for best FPS of the year so far.

Gallipoli is an all-around improvement for the World War I series, bringing sharper visuals and better gameplay to one of the conflict's least-explored fronts.

The Gallipoli delivers a familiar experience in its finest form—one that has been refined through a wealth of knowledge—while shifting the focus of the war to the Ottoman front lines in the Middle East.
