Codemasters brings Turning Point: Fall of Liberty to PS3

You can add one more World War 2 shooter to the genre's growing and over-saturated list. Codemasters has taken the lid off of Turning Point: Fall of Liberty. Like its similarly named cousin, Resistance: Fall of Man, this is an FPS with a twist. It too has an "alternative history" take on the war, though this one is decidedly non-sci-fi.

"In 1931 Winston Churchill survived being struck by a taxi while crossing the street in New York. What if Churchill had died and wasn't alive to voice the battle cry that inspired the Allied troops to confront the Nazi war machine? What if England had surrendered to Hitler? What if there was no D-Day and Pearl Harbor never happened? What if the United States never entered WWII until WWII came knocking at their front door."

We're betting that this game is all about fighting WWII on North American soil instead of Europe. Look for this one later this Fall.

Umm I know it's a fictional game, but still that is stupid.
What would the last level be like? 1 on 1 battle with Hitler himself, but actually he turns into a monster with 9 heads?

@ Dan
your comment is reminiscent of an actual ps2 game called Fugitive Hunter:War on Terror where the player goes one on one with Osama Bin Laden...

Check it out

Hmmm, a scenario in which the US joins a years'-old war only when forced to - and then (no doubt) claims all the credit for "standing up to tyranny".

"Alternative" reality - or just reality?

I mean come on people...

"What if the United States never entered WWII until WWII came knocking....."

...what do you mean, "What if" ?!

The revisionists are out again.

well idk....if u kind of look at it differently all the WAR games have been the same. You fight in Europe kill Germans, etc.....its all been the same. With this game its something different. I find this to be promising....and those words "What If".....hey anything can happen...
