| Editorial Review: Amazon.co.uk Review: In a nutshell: After a successful tour of duty on the current gen consoles Brothers in Arms returns in the ultimate WWII squad based shooter, set during the closing months of the war as you take part in the crucial Operation Market Garden in the Netherlands. The lowdown: Although there were many astonishing looking games at the recent E3 event this was for most people the most graphically amazing next gen game seen so far. The levels not only look near photorealistic but the game world is huge and almost completely interactive. The gameplay works in the same basic way as before, with an easy to use onscreen cursor enabling you to direct your men with a single button press. New movement types now exist though, allowing you to specify stealth or patrol postures depending on what you’re doing and how fast you need to move. The only problem is the enemy have the same abilities and their artificial intelligence is advanced enough to make proper use of them. Most exciting moment: Not only are the enemy intelligent but they’re also well trained, reacting just as a real German soldier would. They’ll hide in doorways, ambush at road junctions and even, in one memorable encounter, hide behind a washing line – where your only warning is from a Dutch civilian at a window above. Since you ask: Everything in the game is as realistic as possible with streets and house copied exactly from photos taken at the time, while all weapons and vehicles are modelled to work exactly as they did in real life. The bottom line: The most realistic WWII game ever – in terms of history, tactics and graphics. HARRISON DENT |

Rating:  - Guys Chill Out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Well what can i say!!! i have read all of these shocking reviews and some (which this upsets me the most) have reviewed and said call of duty is more realistic! hah! speak to any war veteran and they will say you cant run into a hord of japanese soldiers and bayonet them all to death without them doing anything because they are obviously worse then you at fighting! BIA HH makes clever use of cover which you can use really cooly. You can order different groups of men to do different ... Read More Rating: - A nice pick if you find it half priceThere's nothing much to add to what I read above, except my own feelings while playing it. Graphics ain't that good, but gameplay is fine. The storyline is quite OK actualy, if you enjoyed the Band of Brothers series, which is my case. In the end I absolutelly disagree to those that either say this game is the worst or that it is excellent. It's somewhere in the middle and if you manage to pick it under £20 like I did, it is preety much worth the money. Rating:  - Don't buy new for £35 buy second hand, thats all its worth.I certainly agree with the first review above. It is a dated game. The trailers make it look great but shows no resemblance. Ubisoft get your act together. Rating: - The biggest anticlimax ever!!!!Considering the amount of time that this game has been in production and the hype over the past few years, I was expecting great things. As a fan of the original games in this series, I purchased an Xbox 360 primarily for this game. However, that was almost 3 years ago. During the wait, I burned out 4 Xboxes and eventually defected to the PS3 camp. When the game was finally released, I had it pre-ordered from Amazon. It arrived on launch day, and within 10 minutes I was thoroughly ... Read More Rating:  - Good funBrothers In Arms Hell Highway, is more of a tactical game as opposed to the COD series, which is a shoot 'em up. Although good, COD rarely gives a true feeling of war as you run around aimlessly at times. BIA is very different to this, the enemy, are intelligent and will take cover and in Authentic mode they will try to flank you, so a bit of awareness does help. The cut scenes are great, no matter what the above reviews say, once watching the cut scenes you do genuinely feel bad when a comrade bites the dust ... Read More |
