Proof that shooters play very well on DS.
When i started playing the game i was blowned away by the production value that went into the game. I know a lot of people complain about the game story. But i think the story was very good. I like how it follow historical events that happen during WWII. The taken place in various location across Eastern Europe and Northern Africa. You will know when you are in a new region because the environment changes. For example, if you are in Northern Africa, you will be in a desert or safari like environment. In certain parts of Europe like Poland you will have a Artic (snowy) environment, also when you are in a different environment the enemy soldiers camouflage with the surrounding which makes it more difficult to shoot an enemy.
The control in Brothers in Arms is very good and responsive. You control the game with both the D-pad and stylus. To move you use the the D-pad and the stylus is use to aim, reload, use object, change weapons, throw grenades and zoom in and out. At first it might not seem like a good idea to control the game by using both hand, but after a while you will get use to it and find out the formula works. The D-pad and stylus control work as good as two analog stick.
The graphic and sound is spectacular in the game. this game have some of the most beautiful graphic you will find on the DS. The environment is beautiful and realistic, the game has a lot of destructive environment change. The game have a lot of color variation, good texturing and run at a smooth frame rate with no slow downs, i never play any game on the DS that has better particle effect than Brothers in Arms DS.
The sound and Audio in the game fits the atmosphere of the game very well. The sound goes along with the action of the game really well. Everything that is going on in the game you will hear. The weapons also sound good, the bazooka, shot gun, machine gun, RVs, tanks and sniper rifle all have their own distinctive sound.
In the end Brothers in Arms for the DS is one of the best game on the DS. It is the best third person shooter on the DS and might also be the only one on the DS. I thing gamer should try this game because this game is awesome. Players won't be disappointed or regret purchasing this game, plus it is being selling at a budget price. The negative aspect of this game is that it is very short, every mission feels like a chore and the game is very linear. But the end result is fabulous, superb graphics and great sound and good game play makes Brothers in Arms a must buy for every DS owner.
