Relentless

Anyone else bought this yet? Bought a copy for my PS2 and played a bit with my brother last night. Did some of the multiplayer mode and some of the story mode.
The multiplayer (i.e. deathmatch) was really different because there wasn't just an objective to kill each other... each of the different missions on multiplayer had a clear objective and the 2 players each took on the role of squad leader for the opposing German and American squads.
The story mode we didn't get into very far but it seems much more realistic than many WWII FPS games I've played already (i.e. MOH, CTD, etc.). Excellent graphics and more realistic gameplay, particularly with regard to movement, shooting and sighting. As a smallarms coach I even appreciated that if you'd been running and were out of breath, the targeting mode revealed the iron sights of your rifle moving around more than if you were still and quiet and crouched.
Too early to tell if the whole game is as awesome as it seems but it looks like a keeper to me.
