    Brother in Arms on the jump to the current generation lost some of its uniqueness, becoming more accessible in the process. The game is best described as a WW2-themed, more tactical but less dynamic version of Raimbow Six Vegas. You are in charge of two Allied teams and you can easily direct them to take cover, attack and so on, but, unlike the first two games, you have a Call of Duty style health regen and your aim is much, much more stable. That makes the teamwork almost pointless at times, since you are nearly unkillable and too many times you can just set up your teams to "lock down" the nazis on their place while you flank them alone (and even if your mates die, they resurrect after the fight). The AI is nearly non-existent, as every move of the nazis is scripted (or at least it seems that way): they can retreat completently, but they don't really pose a threat to the player unless some AI trigger fires. This, coupled with the somewhat swallow and mechanical gameplay and a mediocre "feel" for the weapons, contributes to keep the tension quite low, which for an FPS is not a good thing. The graphics are good, the story and narration is quite good (but if you haven't played the previous games you won't understand much), the cover system works well, the level design is good, if not very inventive, but overall Hell's Highway is a very average FPS.

    A movie brought to the gamer. Really this is an interactive movie that is a lot of fun. This game stands apart from farcry 2 and Assassins creed since it doesn't get boring after just 2 hours of play, you get to the end and wish for more. The combat is quite a bit of fun, it doesn't let you run and gun like a lot of world war II shooters, you have to plan every move you and your troops do if you plan to survive Mony's failed invasion into Germany.

    If you took Call of Duty 1 or 2 and mixed it in a pot with Rainbox Six: Vegas, you’d have a pretty good idea of what Brothers in Arms: Hell’s Highway is like — a linear FPS with tactical, squad-based elements. I picked it up a few months back and I’ve gotten my money’s worth out of it, though it took longer to download than for me to play through. The game itself is ok — good, but not great. I’ve had fun with it, but it’s probably not a game I’ll ever return to the way I have with Fallout 3 or even Far Cry 2. However, if you can get it for a good price (i.e., $15 or less) and you’re a fan of WWII shooters, you could do worse than picking up Brothers in Arms: Hell’s Highway.

    This is a true tactical shooter that offers a decent pie of realism. You must command your squad with an easy to use and intuitive interface and you can do it with great precission. Also the graphics and story are nice, bringing together all good things into a single game. The only thing I would have like to see more, would be to go trough the whole story as another character for extra replay value. But that should not stop you from buying this great game. Enjoy!

    This is a excellent continuation of the series. If you loved the others in the series you will love his one. I agree that the game is a little on the short side but still worth picking up and playing

    Its been my favourite title in the series. Great storyline and graphics! I was disappointed, with the short game...only a few hours worth of gameplay, but that is about it in terms of neagative points. Next time, I would hope there are more missions...

    This was a very good game. I couldn't find a less expensive site out there offering this game for under $30 so getting it for 14.95 and it being a fairly recent game sold me on the game. Game was 29.95 in a major outlet chain not gonna mention name but you know them... Very similar to BIA Hill 30 but still a very good game on its own merit. It's a big file so be warned it will take a while to download. It kept getting interupted and took almost 15 hrs to download on my DSL so be prepared it's over 6.3GB in size and my comp downloaded at 125kb so you can figure it out. I'm not going to spoil anything but the game slides in and out of cutscenes but if you've played the predecessor you are already used to this. Again you can't play in realistic mode until you complete the game in a lessor format. Completing it took me less time than it did to download the game but there are some frustrating parts that you need to just try various times over before you move on. At one stage I couldn't figure how to get past a certain stage and was tempted to look up hints, rough it out though and I'm sure you'll figure it out for yourselves. It can be done and there is a solution once you figure it out. One thing to note... although you can command bazooka teams, machine gun teams, assault teams and base fire teams and drive tanks, I didn't see anytime when I was able to command a mortar team. That's about the only thing in the game hype text box above that seemed msleading.
