TheStar Writes:
"As for the actual story being told in this epic microcosm of The Big One, well, good luck trying to follow it. The Hell's Highway tale is told in a convoluted series of flashbacks that serve to flesh out the same story told from other angles in the previous two Brother's in Arms games. If you haven't played those or simply can't remember what happened, well, just sit back and enjoy the narrative's amazing cinematics, nod and smile knowingly. It doesn't actually matter.
As a somewhat cerebral, more methodized take on first-person-shooters, Hell's Highway also makes for a meatier, online multiplayer game that seems to be attracting players more mature than your average teen-angst-addled, comp-courageous shooters and showboaters, which is nice.
Either way, though occasionally flawed and sometimes unwieldy, Brothers in Arms: Hell's Highway is certainly a solid squad-based shooter, and the fact that there aren't that many of this sub-genre shooter ilk out there makes it a tantalizing stray form the norm."
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.
PC Aficionado: "We're all excited for Call of Duty: WWII, but it's still awhile away from releasing. We pick out five alternative WWII games to play in the meantime."
I bought it on the day it came out, I was a huge fan of the first two. I had seen all of the so-called "gameplay" movies that were all over the internet, but what actually came out of the box had nothing to do with any of them! They showed us one thing and palmed us off with another. The first two games gave you the opportunity to try different tactics, there was always more than one way to achieve your objective and this gave the first two games a lifespan. This pile of crap was an embarrassment! Crappy graphics; like brickwork that looked like it had been drawn on cardboard by retarded schoolchildren with crayons! MG42's that only fire at you. Germans that can shoot round corners. There is no replay value in this truly crappy game, most of the levels weren't worth playing the first time. Lame cheesy storyline told through overly long cutsceens with frame rate issues. The only enjoyment I got from pile of crap was when I brought it back to the shop for a refund! We have "Next-Gen" consoles but this piece of woodwork shows we don't yet have "Next-Gen" game developers!
I was a big fan of the first ones and this delivered everything I expected in a great single player experience.
