A FRESH WORLD WAR II SHOOTER!
User Rating: 9 | Brothers in Arms: Road to Hill 30 PC
Okay I admit it, when I saw Brothers in Arms I thought oh goody, another first person WWII shooter. However, this shooter is different. If you think you can run around shooting anything and everyone in your path think again grunt!. Here you lead a squad of soldiers to basically find the enemy, fire on the enemy, flank his position and finally finish him off. Sometimes you will control one team, sometimes two (a fire team and an assault team). Sometimes you will have a fire team and a tank to control. So make the most of them. The whole premise of this game is suppress and flank the enemy. If you can remember these two basic words the game will be a pleasure. I must admit this was a whole new experience for me but about half an hour of trial and error (ie. dying constantly) you will learn the subtlety of suppressing and flanking the enemy. The game play was excellent the AI will sometimes try and use the same suppress and flank maneuver on you so watch out and the graphics were good. One thing I did not enjoy was the filthy language used occassionally throughout the game. When will developers learn that there is no real need for language in games. Take COD II for example here is a very impressive game with next to no language. Apart from this let down, Brothers in Arms is an excellent game where the player will have to learn to use tactics instead of just brawn! Have fun guys!
