Hell's Highway has been a long time coming. First making the rounds back in 2005, a host of delays has meant the third Brothers In Arms game lost considerable momentum and vanished off many people's radars. Thankfully, it's finally made it to the PS3 – unfortunately it hasn't yielded the results many will have hoped.
The biggest problem with Gearbox's WWII shooter is it doesn't know what it wants to be. Like previous entries in the series, there's a heavy emphasis on the relationship between the different squadrons and how serious the Second World War was. After all, a battle that took millions of lives should be treated with a sense of respect and reverence. The trouble is it never really succeeds. The numerous cut-scenes are poorly voiced and scripted and feel more like a parody rather than a harsh insight. Conversations have no flow and some of the topics brought up would be better suited in a children's playground than on the frontline. Furthermore, Hell's Highway is littered with them and at times you'll curse the day such a format was ever invented as yet another gameplay section is stripped away from your fingers. If they added significantly to BIA we have no doubt the atmosphere and connection you had with the game would be increased. As the majority fall short, they do nothing more than take you out of the experience.''
The Brothers In Arms series is one of the most fondly beloved World War 2 shooters ever made, but will it ever make a comeback?
Brothers in Amrs and Earned in Blood were brilliant. The amount of passion that went into them by Gearbox, who was then a young company, was incredible. The franchise just died after that which is sad. Hell's Highway just wasn't made with the same passion. And let's not talk about the cancelled BiA4, that looked so wrong on so many levels.
Some Easter eggs and secrets aren’t actually that hard to find. Sometimes they are even connected to achievements or trophies in-game, making them very easy to locate. But some secrets are much harder to find and honestly make me wonder how anyone ever finds these things.
