Company of Heroes: Tales of Valor Review

" Relic's delivers an impressive but overpriced expansion"

This is relic's first attempt at offering an episodic feel to Company of Heroes. Sadly this Tales of Valor expansion offers 3 campaigns with only 3 missions per campaign. In other words the campaigns are over way too quickly then you have the new additions in multiplayer.
Those of you playing COH for it's multiplayer will be pleased with this expansion and enjoy the new game modes offered. Still even with all that is offered here this expansion pack feels like a light weight overpriced expansion. Overall your getting good quality stuff in a episodic type of feel. If you enjoyed the previous COH titles then give this a look, Otherwise wait til Company of Heroes: Tales of Valor hits the $19.99 price point.

Rating: 2.9/5.0

Pro: Great storytelling in the 3 campaigns, New Direct Fire mode, New multiplayer modes.
Cons: Feels too short and overpriced for a full expansion pack. Some nagging issues still remain from the previous games.

Editor's Note: I realize this a short review but with all that is offered in Tales of Valor I could sum it up in a pretty short write up.
