brothers in arms is living history

this is an excellent ww2 game-it is difficult and challenging-the squad tactics are fun and easy to use and the AI of the germans is very good. the guns are realistic. this game is living history and it's fun to read about cole's charge in history books about normandy and then play it out on the video game here.

Brothers in arms: Road to Hill 30

This review will be short because I was never able to play the game. Be careful if you buy the PC version of the game! Make sure your system requirements are exactly what is on the box or you will be as dissapointed as I was. Even my top of the line computer wouldent run it because I didn't have one of the handfull of vidio cards supported. Bottom line buy with caution!

Complete Garbage

After unloading a full clip at a nazi ten feet away from me, and hitting nothing for the hundreth time, I uninstalled this game and deleted the... file. I'm very happy with the price I paid for it.

This game is repetitive, annoying, and frustrating.

Repetitive: every mission is almost exactly the same. Move a little forward, trigger the oncoming nazis, command your squad to shoot while you navigate around the obstacles to shoot the nazis which become instantly aware of your presence through some mystical scrying powers.

Annoying: You can only listen to the BAP BAP BAP BAP of an MG42 endlessly firing without ever having to swap hot barrels for a good hour or two before you smash your speakers through the nearest window. The speech your squadmates shout is always the same. I got sick of hearing the same darn loud annoying voice everytime I issued a command.

Frustrating: There is no way to hit anything in this game. Your gun constantly wavers about uselessly. You can use up all your ammo shooting at one stinkin' guy because your highly accurate M1 rifle couldn't hit Fat Albert if he was strapped to the broad side of a big red barn that was on fire. You can round a corner and unload an entire clip of your Thompson at a guy, crosshairs dead-on, and pepper the wall behind him, but put zero holes in him. What is this, Pulp Fiction? This was the last straw for me.

I decided it wasn't worth finishing this game. I kept rounding a particular corner armed with the foreknowledge of the enemy's position (there's no variation in this game) and kept unloading my Thompson on him, and kept getting instantly killed. Over and over and over. It has since been uninstalled, saves and profile deleted.
