The Adrenaline Vault: Brothers In Arms: Hell's Highway Review

The Xbox360's version of BIA: Hell's Highway is reviewed over at The Adrenaline Vault here's an excerpt of what they had to say
"Having grown tired of the same old single-player assault through a raging World War II battlefront, my weary soul was cheered by the squad-based tactics of Hell's Highway. It's not enough to just shuttle from Point A to Point B as Nazis pour forth from hidden "monster closets" and trigger choke points (an infraction that even bedevils the vaunted Call of Duty series). The focus on strategic gameplay-with the player encouraged to study the surroundings, identify primary suppression spots and design ancillary flanking maneuvers-adds a great deal to this game's appeal. I know it's a refinement of a design used throughout the series, but so far it hasn't gotten old; there's always some new challenge to overcome and a new approach for victory to devise. This game does a fantastic job of letting you switch from grunt to field general, and when you finally push past a trouble spot, you gain a great sense of satisfaction from having fine-tuned a winning strategy. To that end, no battle seemed small or insignificant, and I was engaged the whole way through."

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.
