Company of Heroes Opposing Fronts review for the PC

If you've played the original Company of Heroes, then you'll probably have been waiting impatiently for follow-up Company of Heroes: Opposing Fronts ever since you finished the game. Opposing Fronts isn't really a sequel or continuation of the game, but it picks up the original gameplay and gives you the opportunity to play out WW2 battles from either the Allied or the German perspective. Nor is it an expansion pack - you can pick up and play Opposing Fronts without having played the original Company of Heroes, although you might find it more confusing than seasoned gamers. So will Company of Heroes: Opposing Fronts live up to its legacy? We think so - find out how it earned our PCGZine Gold Award in our full review now!

Company of Heroes Opposing Fronts review for the PC
Is it an expansion pack, or isn't it? With two full huge campaigns to play through, two entirely new sides to learn the ins and outs of, and two distinctly different ways of playing, there's certainly enough to consider buying this, even if you haven't played the first CoH, and the action's just as good as before.

Although the game doesn't require the original CoH to run, you'll be a lot better off if you've got the original on your hard drive. With a level of difficulty that makes the game harder than a Rottweiler who's just seen a particularly attractive bitch, Opposing Fronts has been aimed at the gamer who has at least experienced the original. During the course of the game, you'll get to take the reins of either the German Panzer Elite, or the British 2nd Army, through two very different campaigns. Playing for the Germans, you'll be trying to halt the allied advance in Operation Market Garden, but if you choose to play as the British, you'll be fighting to liberate Caen.
