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.

Rating: - The Thinking Man's FPS
Well after getting to the Industrial Complex and taking out another MG crew, I actually feel compelled to write a review. I ordered this game after seeing the preview movies. I then read the reviews here and was expecting the worst, but I have to say this really is a great, well thought out game. The tactical element of the squad based play is brilliant and really makes you think about where you will place your men, although it can be annoying when they take an exposed route and get shot.

Rating: - A Thinking Man's Shooter
Following on from its two predecessors, Hell's Highway continues the story of Sergeant Matt Baker and his squad of US paratroopers as they take part in the ill-fated Operation Market Garden in September 1944.

The game relies a little too heavily on the player having completed the two earlier games. It tries to fill in the story and, to be fair, does succeed, but it's definitely a richer experience if you know your Brothers in Arms history.

The game incorporates a cover ... Read More

Got something COD hasnt, a cover system. A 1st person shooter that you CANT just run and gun. Part shooter, part RTS... ACE.

Rating: - You just get the feeling that it was rushed...
Like many other people who have reviewed this game, I was excited at the prospect of this after seeing the development footage. I was even content with the constant reschedule of the release date, hoping that Gearbox were tweaking the product. In hindsight, after completing the game I am really disappointed.

It's not the just the average graphics (for a next-gen console, they are pretty standard), poor AI and clumbsy controls (take a lesson from the Rainbow Six Las Vegas series if you're ... Read More

Rating: - Well I Loved It
Having read some of the other reviews I find myself needing to put my thoughts down.
I have been a PC gamer for years but last year bought a 360 to go with my new LCD telly. I have tended to avoid FPS games due to the fact I am proficient with a mouse and always found gamepad controls fiddly and awkward.
Having played and enjoyed the the 2 previous games on PC I decided I would take a huge gamble and get this on the 360 to see if i could handle it.

After a short while fiddling ... Read More
