Raid: World War II is an action-packed four player co-op shooter set during a time when the Nazis was winning and hope was in short supply. Four players team up to fight and steal all across Europe. Anything goes, as long as one simple goal is achieved: stop the Nazis.
War is hell. This game is only a little better.
RAID: World War II apes the Payday series so intentionally that it's pretty hard not to view it as an ill-advised spin off. With dated presentation, tedious combat, and a consistently low player count, it actually feels like a step back when compared to Payday 2. Perhaps the biggest nail in its coffin, though, is just how buggy it is, with frequent crashes and broken scripting fanning the fires of your disappointment until it resembles the haunted look in John Cleese's eyes during the atrocious FMV cut-scenes.
The Raid: World War II tries to build on the success of Payday, but its dated foundation and sloppy execution undermine the effort. The console version is even worse.
