While the game provides a lot of scenarios, most require a large time commitment, a lot of which is spent waiting for the computer to finish resolving the combat. This can turn some scenarios into trials of patience as the computer determines the turn's casualties on virutally a man by man basis. Stick with the shorter scenarios, which are enjoyable, unless you are a die-hard wargamer with a historical interest in this campaign.

When a game so meticulously models the resolution of combat, one would expect it to come with a large manual detailing the factors affecting your units. Unfortunately, Normandy '44 does not come with such a manual. In fact, it comes with no manual at all. The game does come with an online help system, but if you want something you can flip through while playing, expect to kill a tree or two when you try to print it all out.

In The End, This Game Hath Been Rated: 55%. Time consuming, overly long scenarios, lack of a manual, and an unusable 3D mode together bring down this game's rating.

System Requirements:  Pentium 133; 32 MB RAM; SVGA Video Card; 4x CD-ROM; 200 MB Hard Drive Space; 14.4 Kbps Modem or TCP/IP Internet Connection for internet multiplayer games.
