Brothers in Arms - Software Publisher's Description:
Brothers in Arms review:5 stars (Realistic 101 paratrooper game) - I love ww2 games this game is very realistic all the guns sound just like the really did and the graphics look very real and the settings are real the are almost identicle as to the real thing from June, 6 1944. This game is the best ww2 game ever.5 stars (Not Another Chip Off the ol' Block) - Some say there are too many WWII First Person Shooters. Others say that the one man in the Medal of Honor games never could have done it alone. Still yet, there are those who need their fix of the slaughter of Germans. What if these people were told they could follow the 99% acurate story of the 101st Airborn Division. Do I have your attention yet.
Brothers in Arms: Road to Hill 30 follows the true story of Srg. Matt Baker in his squad's quest to take Hill 30. I won't spoil the whole game but you lead up to two teams of either 3 men or 3 sherman tanks throghout the game. You must and can not blindly charge the enemy position (The majority of what Medal of Honor considers STRATEGY). Instead, you suppress the German troops then send a squad around the wall, sandbags, whatever they are stationed behind, to FLANK them (If you don't know this word look it up, you'll be using it alot).
Also, the game includes a stunning amount of realism. Not only in graphics but in how the enemy react to you (They are very intelligent). Remember we talked about FLANKING (There's that word again). Well unfortunatly, like any other good soldiers, the Germans expect it and as soon as you can see the enemy behind the wall, you realize that they're looking at you down the sites of their guns. All the weapons are realistic down to clip size, range, and rate of fire. And to cap it off, in AUTHENTIC difficulity level, if you take one bullet, you die (even in EASY you can only take 5 shots compared to Medal of Honor's 20). If that sounds too hard remember that you control a squad(s) that can sometimes do the job at hand on their own if you use them correctly.
So, still hooked on the win the war yourself gameplay of Medal of Honor? Get Brothers in Arms and experience the action like it was in 1944.5 stars (Excellent WWII FPS) - This is easily one of the best games available for XBox, provided you're already 18 of course, if not stop reading this and instead buy a sports game or something for the Gamecube, since those guys at Nintendo seem to be the only ones really concerned in making games aimed at younger audiences, really. Anyway, in this game you'll find the most realistic WWII experience yet for any console, and playing as a member of the 101st Airborne is simply exciting, the game is just pure realism. That being said, the game can get painfully difficult in the latter levels, even with 4 difficulty levels (3 available, 1 unlockable), though not so much as impossible. Well then, what's this game made of?
The Graphics: Ah yes, one of the most interesting parts of any game. I won't rate based on a scale, I'll rather point out the main aspects. The way the characters are modeled is scary; their facial animations and body movements are the real deal, with no noticeable blur, pixels or polygons. The scenery is exactly the way you've seen it in say..."Band of Brothers". There's no "pop-up" at all, and the environmental objects are meticulously deatailed, right down to the number of leaves on trees. The only downsides are the sporadical frame rate hiccups.
Sound: Play this game with Dolby Surround to trully hear the thunderous explosions and rocking gun sounds. These true-to-life sounds enhance the experience by much, and they all are crispy clear and recorded from their real life counterparts, just fire the BAR and you'll see what I mean. This great sound is only marred by a few sound bugs which randomly freeze the sound of a gun firing.
Control: Just as mentioned in my favorite gaming magazine, the XBox controller is perfect for FPSs, and this is no exception. Moving around is piece of cake, as is issuing orders to your soldiers, and the precision aiming is the best thing that they could've thought of; the enemies' "supression indicator" feature was a clever thing too, it's helpful in knowing when to move, and adds to the realistic experience. Bad spots: later on in the game, when things get heated up, issuing orders can get a bit chaotic. The "situational awareness" mode isn't as useful as it could've been, and a free movement option there would make a big difference.
Topping it all are interesting unlockable extras,which toghether with the above mentioned things, make this game a top choice that's not to be missed by FPS or action game fans, if you don't have it yet, get it immediately, it's an exhilirating experience.
