Elite Forces: WWII Normandy

Elite Forces: WWII Normandy is a 2001 first-person shooter developed by 3LV Games and published by ValuSoft. It was made on Monolith's Lithtech Talon engine, which was also used for The Operative: No One Lives Forever and Aliens vs. Predator 2.

It is the first installment in the Elite Forces series of budget games. It is widely considered to be the worst game in the series.

Why It Sucks

 * 1) Broken and near unusable menu interface.
 * 2) Creepy enemy face textures. They are supposed to be normal German soldiers, but their perpetual angry expression makes them look like zombies.
 * 3) Flat and blocky graphics. To add insult to injury, the game's textures are blurry.
 * 4) Braindead enemy AI; they have to go to a predetermined location before attacking you. Even if you're shooting them, they'll just ignore you and keep moving.
 * 5) No allied AI (even though the player takes part in the real-life American airborne landings), meaning you fight the whole German war machine on your own.
 * 6) The game feels and plays like a Quake and Medal of Honor ripoff.
 * 7) You use historically accurate weapons, yet they only look barely like their real-life counterparts.
 * 8) The levels are surprisingly short and small. They can take at most 10 minutes to beat.
 * 9) The game is extremely easy, even on the hardest difficulty.
 * 10) The whole game can be beaten in under one hour.
 * 11) Forgettable soundtrack, along with poor sound effects.
 * 12) Unbalanced filesize. The game took approximately 300 megabytes to install; looking at the game's files reveals that the game's uncompressed soundtrack took up most of the game's size by 200 MB.
 * 13) Plagiarism. A part of the front cover art was stolen and traced from Saving Private Ryan.

Reception
Taylor "Psychosis" Bell of Something Awful.com gave the game a -32, describing it as "a [typical] ValuSoft game".
