We go back on the road to war with our brothers in the 101st Airborne Division to find out how war has ravaged them since 2005...

For anybody not familiar with Brothers In Arms, they are a series of WW2 first person shooters that aim to depictthe reality of war. Where Call of Duty succeeded in providing spectacular set pieces Brothers In Arms asks more than simply working your way down a predetermined path.

Good compelling story; loyal to historical setting; sound

Graphical finish is poor; boring  gameplay; questionable AI

Head back into the breach with Chris Watters and his review for Brothers in Arms: Hells Highway.

Great blend of squad control and first-person combat; Vibrant; detailed environments; Battlefield sounds will put you on edge; Interesting characters; Action camera is exhilarating

Story relies too much on knowledge of past games; Texture irregularities can sour cutscenes

There's something peculiarly puzzling about gore in video games. Like chocolates in a box of Roses it can come in so many types. Gore can be completely stylised and over the top, like in upcoming black and white Wii game Mad World, for example.

The story is awesome, although it's not as good as "Road to Hill 30" where you can choose the fate of your "brothers" (soldiers). And the graphic is great, especially the landscape and when scooping down. The cutscene is better than the game, though.

This game plays very differently from the COD series and is a solid and tactical game which requires you to strategize your combat movements. In this game, you are not supposed to rush into fierce firefights all the time without learning the consequences and instead, should be planning your approach...
