Mac|Life recently posted a review of Aspyr Media's Company of Heroes Complete: Campaign Edition. The Campaign Edition includes the single player campaigns from the original Company of Heroes as well as the Tales of Valor and Opposing Fronts expansions. Mac|Life gave the game a score of 5 out of 5.

From the review:

Despite its age (it debuted on Windows in 2006), the game looks great, with tons of visual detail. Fully rendered 3D models provide convincing environments, equipment, and individual units. And, unusual for a strategy game, you can zoom right into the action to get up close and personal with your squads, watching the action unfold from an almost first-person perspective.

It’s easy to play. You direct the action of entire squads, and can’t issue orders to individual combatants. This keeps the pace up and prevents the game getting bogged down in endless fiddling. You select a squad, then order it to move, find cover, or close in on enemy units, who will then automatically fight. When you select a target area, each squad member’s theoretical position is plotted on the screen, so it’s possible through small pointer adjustments to get them positioned exactly how you want them—lined up behind cover for example, or bunched up to provide a concentrated attack.
