GamingExcellence: Brothers in Arms: Hell's Highway Review

GamingExcellence writes: "Dust off your medals of honor, duty is calling you to take up arms with your brothers once more. Despite the fact that most shooter fans have singlehandedly killed more Nazis in their gaming careers than were actually killed in all of World War II, the genre continues to go on strong. Typically, the Brothers in Arms games have been a hallmark of gritty WWII realism, and this instalment does nothing to tarnish that legacy. In fact, Brothers in Arms: Hell's Highway is arguably the finest title in the franchise to date, despite a few missteps that stop the game from being the definitive WWII shooter."

Pros:
+Shooter/strategy formula from past titles still works great
+Great enemy AI
+Mostly excellent presentation
+Strong storyline
+Smooth controls

Cons:
-Missing key features from past titles, including co-op skirmish mode -Graphical glitches and sloppy cutscenes ruin immersion
-Co-operative AI is occasionally sketchy
-Multiplayer is only fun under ideal circumstances
