World War II GI was a first-person shooter set during the events of World War II released in 1999 as a direct sequel the previous year's game "NAM". The player takes control of a G.I. ("galvanized iron", referring to a soldier in the US military), sent in to wipe out scores of Wehrmacht and SS soldiers. [1]

Gameplay

The game sets the player in the middle of World War 2 scenarios such as the D-Day beach landings during the invasion of normandy, assaults on equipment and supply depots, and other scenarios. The game was built on the Build engine, with 3D environments and 2D character sprites. It shared similar game play elements to it's prequel, created by the same developers. [2]

Ratings

Ratings were generally much lower compared to the prequel. Most sources citing the lack of good Artificial Intelligience as the leading factor.[3] IGN Entertainment felt that game was not keeping up with the rest of the market and was using an outdated engine and was too obsolete.[4]
