    Loved the game...
    Even though it was a bit repetitive... But the game was very fun and interesting.

    I jus beat this game and the 9.0 rating is very generous. The side goals are pointless. and climbing to view point over and over and over is just way to repetitive. Yes you have a great world that is breathtaking but it serves no point. With the quests set up the way they are and the repetitive tower climbing the could have done a plat former and made the levels and buildings on a greater scope and more immersive.

    I kinda agree with Kratos_Josh.. while AC is surely an amazing game.. it has a lot of faults and flaws and I'm surprised by this high score.. the visual flaws are in my opinion the least obnoxious.. sure you may notice them but apart from MGS 4 there's no visually flawless game so no problem.. but the game play gets really, really repetitive.. right after the first assassination, which is very sad.. it has some really confusing elements.. like the AI of enemy soldiers.. the fights are also not really flawless.. when you don't block, you'll die in a sec.. when you do cover, you can really take on 10 enemies at once.. it's quite disturbing and unbalanced.. audio is okay but the voice acting is unclear and you can sometimes barely understand what are the characters saying.. many things are annoyingly overblown while many things are sorely missed.. 9 is in my humble opinion unfairly high score for game with so many flaws..

    sick game! just a bit repetitive but they'll probably fix it on the second one which looks even more sick!

    Looks nice. I bought this game from a budget store yesterday. I hope I'll have fun with it, 'cause the reviews by other players don't really give me high hopes...

    you can die but you respawn in real time so if you damage a big daddy hes still damaged. Why did i sell this!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • yabba1

    Posted May 19, 2009 1:03 pm PT

    biabeasts - i dont know but avoid bioshock cos I heard you cant even die in it. i might be wrong though.

  • Kratos_Josh

    Posted May 17, 2009 1:26 am PT

    i loved this game at the beggining but by the middle/end i really hated it because of repetition and a few silly things for example
    1) when a poor drunk man pushes a guy in what looks like exspensive clothing the guards dont care, but then .... you push him back and ow the gaurds are chasing you the sober rich guy!!??? you would of thought they would beat the drunk sensless as rich people in those days could of had their ass!
    2) (when on horse between cities) why does running past a guard tower make them chase you yet when you slow down they dont chase you? i mean if you go slower they get a better look at you i mean what if a docter had to get somewhere quickly no sorry its walking speed or get imprisoned??!!
    3)now i dont know about you but if some1 stuck a knife in my chest i seriously doubt i could talk let alone go on some boring monologue for 5 minutes!? and why would you tell an assassin anything your already going to die whats the point!?!
    4)when you turn a corner and sit on a bench they run past you!? how many assassin clothed people are there in this place!? even a retard isnt that stupid.
    5)its hard to kill some1 without doing a couter kill or assassin kill or throwing knives so it feels like its playing itself abit

    anyway its a good game but very repetitive alot of ennoying bits as menchaned above and very predictable! and after half way through it gets to you also has anyone ever played through it twice?? i played it through once and did all missions excluding things like find all flags in level or kill all templers. and really was done with it.
    its worth playing through but i would recommend to rent it for the weekend as you probly want play it again.

    Posted May 7, 2009 11:59 pm PT

    im so done with ign. not that im a cheater, i luv gamespot, but i like to browse once in a while, but i just cant take the site's clutter, and its not very navigation friendly. but after i saw them give wolverine a higher score rating then assassin's creed..thats when i draw the line. just cant trust them.

    The missions are the only thing wrong with this game, The gameplay, controls, visuals, audio and plot is amazing. I just wish I didnt have to save a citizen every 4 mins.

  • XxorigxX

    loooove this game!

  • poniboy

    Posted Apr 29, 2009 11:52 am PT

    and not for nothing, hells highway is like the worst game to come out by ubsoft, it just dosent hold up to any other ww2 shooter, hense would at war! visually, gameplay, etc. my opinion, ubsoft has alot of great titles, and bros/arms2 is just not one of them.

  • poniboy

    Posted Apr 29, 2009 11:33 am PT

    biabeasts, the only game worth buying on your list is bioshock, hands down bio is the greatest game ever, and won the most rewards then any other game in the last year. Asscreed, Gears2, deadspace, are all must rents though.

    Da Vinci's flying machine will be awesome in the second one. Loved the first game.

  • BiABeasts

    Posted Apr 19, 2009 12:03 pm PT

    And CVM_123 Brothers in Arms: Hell's Highway is the best game ever published by Ubisoft because it is the game of the year in 2008 and best game ever created.
