Hour of Victory is a World War II-based first-person shooter released for Xbox 360 on June 25, 2007. A playable game demo was released on Xbox Live Marketplace on June 1, 2007. It was the first World War II game to use the Unreal Engine 3.
Reception
Upon release, Hour of Victory was met with almost universal disdain.
In IGN's 5.7 review, they criticized the lack of originality, the multiplayer portion, and the graphics, saying, "Hour of Victory is a mediocre shooter with bad graphics and terrible multiplayer"[1]
GameSpot's review was particularly scathing, scoring the game just 2/10 (making it the lowest rated Xbox 360 game on the site to date), and even going so far as to name it the "Flat-Out Worst Game" of 2007[2]. The game received the following 9 demerits: Bad Sound Effects, Bad Value, Busted, Broken and Buggy, Derivative, Shallow, Short, Stripped, and Weak Story.
Screwattack made it a SAGY nominee for Worst 360 game of the year.
Eurogamer also gave the 2 out of 10, whilst GameCentral marked it even lower, giving it only 1 out of 10. Maxim was, however, much more appreciative of the game, giving it 4 out of 5.
