The acting is most surprising in that it's actually good. The direction fits the concept perfectly, it grabs you as much as it should, without being distracting.
The writing and the interweaving plot and characters is compelling and interesting, nothing dumbed down, but nothing contrived either. What we got instead was a surprisingly good pilot that brought enough "hero material" to live up to its name, but not too much as to make us think we were watching an X-men ripoff. My initial reaction was that we would either see clichéd super hero garb or some awkward NBC drama soaked in hero juice. I must admit, shows now-a-days tend to go down hill after the pilot, but NBC's latest offering seems to have set itself up with a concept and tone that could carry on strong, at least for a season. I'm as a huge a 24 and House fan as is out there, but Heroes may have just taken TV's top billing in one night. I was convinced the hype machine would kill this show, building up expectations so high they could never be met, but Heroes has measured up nicely, hitting on all marks in my book. Overall Tales of Valor is a solid expansion but it likely will not attract any more fans to the series.I just watched this today (recorded it from last night) and quite honestly, I'm pleasantly surprised. Finally, the multiplayer features operations which are smaller, more casual game modes. Each of the units features different abilities from its original unit. Initially some of these units were overpowered but with patches they have become more balanced. Each unit is meant to be a side-grade for each replacement unit. The multiplayer units offer a different side to all of the factions.
Unit abilities are crucial to win close engagements. Once again the key to success is map control and positioning. The game has a nice challenge across its campaigns even with the hero units. The Tiger Ace campaign allows the player to upgrade the Tiger with additional firepower, speed, or armor. The campaigns focus on hero units and upgrades instead of the grander scale of the previous games. The campaigs are different from Company of Heroes and its expansion, Opposing Fronts. The American campaign features paratroopers assaulting a causeway. The German campaigns feature a Tiger ace and the Falaise Pocket. The 3 mini-campaigns features 2 German campaigns with 1 US campaign. It features 3 separate mini-campaigns, reward side-units for multiplayer, and separate game types for multiplayer. Tales of Valor is developed by Relic Entertainment. Company of Heroes: Tales of Valor is an expansion to Company of Heroes.
