Gaming Nexus: Brothers in Arms: Hell's Highway Review

Gaming Nexus writes: "Let me begin by saying that this is the first Brothers in Arms game I have ever played. I am aware of other console releases but it did seem odd to me that this franchise with its strong PC following would also be made as a console game. If you're looking for a twitch shooter or a shooter with cool super powers then this is not the game for you As Brothers in Arms is very much a tactical shooter, but in the end what that really means is that your objective as the player is trying to figure out how to exploit the enemy and outthink enemy AI.

As far as World War II shooters go this is certainly not the ugliest. If it weren't for a few pops and blurs, particularly in the cut scenes, then I would dare to say this is the prettiest WW II FPS I've ever played. The environments were varied and interesting and the game takes you from inside buildings, to farm fields, to town streets at a speed that would make you wonder how these guys were moving around so fast if it wasn't for the jeep that makes an appearance in the majority of the cut scenes. Speaking of the cut scenes, expect to be sitting the controller down for a bit because it felt like they made up at least one quarter of the full game play time. They range in length from short to medium lengths and do a good job of advancing the story."
