Brothers in arms:Road to Hill 30 proves to gamers that history can be fun...And quite brutal.
You assume the role of Sgt.Matthew Baker,a soldier in the 101'st airborne division of the US army,dropped into normandy,and split up...But eventually returning to stand together as a power of one.
This game was attempted to be a historically accurate game,and required alot of studying on the real Sgt.Matt Baker and his squads whereabouts,which was a challenge for it's creators.
As you can see,and hear,the US army was never meant for kids,therefore they attempted to keep this game as realistic as possible,which makes it bloody,gory,and not to mention extremely vulgar.
The tactical combat is not at all frustrating,actually,it's rather refreshing to have your team obey you in the click of a button without any fights.You can issue your team several commands,which include,"follow me","attack position",ETC...
Although it may be easy to manuver your team,it proves itself to be a difficult game,because your enemies are NOT dumb robots running around aimlessly,they will look for any cover neccasary,and will use it against you,which proves the genius AI will not make it easy for you,especially on the harder difficulties.
The sound of this game is a delightfull experiance,they attempted to re-create the real sound of a gunshot,for instance,automatic machineguns in nests are extremely loud,a pistol shot makes one heck of a bang,and a rifle shot is ear-popping.
The graphics for this game are'nt really anything new,but they still satisfy the player.
This is an awesome,historical game...I reccomend it to anyone looking for a thrill and a burst of history.
Just remember,this stuff happened to Sgt.Matt Baker......Think of what he went through......
Enjoy!!!!
