Abstract: 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 look...
Abstract: BROTHERS In Arms: Hells Highway (BIAHH) parachutes you deep into World War II (WWII) in Eindhoven, Netherlands. You play Staff Sergeant Matt Baker of the 101st Airborne Division in Operation Market Garden, an ambitious Allied attempt to secure German-...
Abstract: Brothers in Arms: Hells Highway has been in production for so long I can’t remember which E3 it was when I saw my first demonstration. Then we had the developers’ diary and teaser movies. By the time the game actually arrived I was able to delete sev...
Abstract: On the surface the visuals in Brothers in Arms: Hells Highway are solid and for many the graphics will be the best aspect of the game. The production value is high as the game has a Hollywood blockbuster feel to it. Some of the detail in the game’s cut...

Bottomline: Hells Highway proves to be an exciting, engaging ride despite a few bumps along the way. ...
Good: New cover system works well; impressive environments; strategic elements are still a lot of fun; engaging story.
Bad: AI can be wonky at times; tank missions feel tacked-on; multiplayer is disappointing; story could be confusing to new players.
Bottomline: When it comes to first-person shooters set in World War II, Gearbox Studios Brothers in Arms series always seems overlooked. This may be due to the fact that the latest Call of Duty or Medal of Honor entry is always met with greater fanfare, although ...
