With the vast amount of WW2 shooters out these days from the 1st Wolfenstien and Medal of Honour to the current Call of Duty : World at War it amazes me that no one has ever thought of making Where Eagles Dare into a full 3D shoot’em up.
For those not in the know Where Eagles dare is a daring-do boys own adventure about an English Officer (Richard Burton) and an American Ranger (Clint Eastwood) parachuted in to Axis occupied Europe to infiltrate a castle on a mountain top with a splash of back stabbing and a Gestapo officer with ridiculously blonde hair that is border line fluorescent.
****Warning Spoilers****
It’s got everything – stealth in the village and infiltrating the mountain, booby traps, guns going off left right n centre while fighting there way out the castle, fisty cuffs on the top of a cable car and a break neck race to the airfield in a bus under fire. Even a satisfying bit of getting the traitor to through himself out of the plane at the end,
Now there’s about 6 different games in there already – slap a multiplayer on there and you’re laughing all the way to the bank.
If you don’t like that idea perhaps some one can make Kelly’s Heroes although it’s a very slim hope. Ah wellaAs Oddball says “
Have a little faith Crapgame …. Have a little faith”
Mind you he also said “
Woof Woof that’s my other dog impression”
