* NintendoHard: Both critics and fans of the game will agree that it is ''brutal'', especially early on. Many of the battlefields are littered with mines that can't be easily viewed from the camera perspectives provided, and complications such as reinforcements often show up at what appear to be the end of long and grueling battles.

* CameraScrew: One major reoccurring criticism of the game is that the camera rarely if ever gives you a good view of the action and frequently gets obscured by objects in the environment.

A fairly standard take on the tried-and-true mashup of UsefulNotes/WorldWarII and the occult, the game follows a squad of SAS soldiers - the Wolf Pack (Officially known to the Allied Military forces as K Company, 1st Platoon) - fighting the Nazis across the European Theater and eventually attempting to assassinate UsefulNotes/AdolfHitler himself to win the war for the Allied cause. The so-called Wolf Pack's membership includes Edward and Jude, a pair of infantry soldiers reassigned after their last mission resulted in the death of their platoon; Cordelia, a firestarter; James Gallant, the leader (and a [[WolfMan werewolf]]); Keith, the point man; Frank, a close-combat specialist; Cynthia, a top-heavy Irish sniper; Herbert [[PunnyName East]], a medic and the only character who can revive dead soldiers; and, um...UsefulNotes/JackTheRipper. A descendant of Van Helsing joins in the fight as well as a reanimated dead German soldier in a Jin-Roh-like battle armor suit. Together, they take on the German military and its allies, the Blood Clan led by a vampire officer named Alexander Vlado and his right hand woman Carmilla in order to prevent the entire world from being placed into total chaos.

* EarlyGameHell: Before the supernatural aspects of the Wolf Pack are revealed, you can't lose ''a single'' member during any of the battles, to say nothing of the fact that the game doesn't bother to ease the player into any of the mechanics. The game doesn't necessarily become ''easier'' afterwards, but Herbert's revive ability makes battles less overtly punishing.
