Fun:
Well, despite the reviews on Amazon and the playable demo on XBox Marketplace, I bought it anyway - surely it can't be as bad as all that and I do so love my WWII shooters...
Oh dear, it is that bad - the graphics are pretty pedestrian, the gameplay is clunky at best and it's lacking that certain emotional involement that all decent games seem to have. It's not completely rotten, but it seems to think that cutting wire, climbing ropes or pushing heavy objects (each of which are character dependant) make up for it's shortcomings - they don't and this game deserves to be forgotten very quickly.
It's been consigned to my fading memory already - and I could only be bothered to play the first four or five levels.
Avoid - COD2 or COD3 are far superior products.

Fun:
Not bad, but not great. I read one review where it was given 2 out of 10, for me that is very harsh. There are some flaws which harm this game. One is the distinct lack of checkpoints. Another is the respawning of enemies, which happens too quickly and can often be seen by the player, which is quite sloppy. Aiming isn't great, and sometimes the crosshair will go it's own way when you want to shoot somewhere else. With the Bren you can't actually see what you're aiming at, which isn't good. And where is the Lee Enfield rifle?!
The gameplay is OK, but not up to the standards of COD2, though not a lot worse than COD3. The AI is a little stupid sometimes, and this is made up for by simply having lots of them! But the guns are good, they sound good and look good. The MP44 is great fun.
I think WW2 fans like myself will like this game, but for everyone else you might want to rent rather than buy.

Fun:
The good
Graphics are reasonable
The weapons and physics of the game or good (launch a grenade and germans fly through the air)
The Bad
Gameplay is poor, the idea is sound 3 characters = 3 different ways to play, wrong it really doesn't matter who you play as it makes very little difference in the game.
This is not even fun for ww2 addicts, it contains missions which are just stupid, for example the one were you control a sherman and destroy not one but three tiger tanks!!!!
The AI is not great in fact they are a bit stupid shoot, your gun and the guards all come running other times they just stand there and let u shoot them!
The game is buggy and i do mean buggy it can freeze at any point wether you have playing for an hour or 2 minutes.
Multiplayer is poor really poor for example why have sniper rifles when it is impossible to shoot someone at distant due to the blurry effect that the game creates when you look in the distance, but the reason its so poor is that cod 2 or 3 have this game beat in the multiplayer department and HOV doesn't even come close.
