 Absolutely Brilliant Game!! July 1, 2008
Steven Huskinson (Bramcote,Nottingham,England)
I bought this game about 2 weeks ago and it is absolutely fantastic! The main thing that stands out in this game is the realism. It's almost like actually being there! the sounds of bullets whizzing past your head, the mud and blood splashing up at the screen and the almost continuous sound of bombs being dropped!! I don't actually like shooting games that much usually but it just doesn't matter! One of the main parts of enjoyment for me was when you hit an enemy perfectly with a shot or if you throw a grenade at just the right angle and watch the enemy drop dead. This makes the more realistic aiming and shooting all worth while! If you want to get an idea of what World War 2 was really like then buy this game!

Now I own on PS3 COD 3+4 and Moh Airbourne(is crap) but I CAN honestly say when i bought this in April 2008 that i had as much or more fun on it than on COD 3. There isn't really much point in writing this review as only a few 12 year old Band of Brothers nerds like me are going to buy this. But it's such great fun. Unique squad control that should have been utalised years ago. So if you're waiting for the 3rd now or the 4th BIA in the future just pull out the old PS2 and cast aside the Xbox 720 or PS5 TO JUST play an outstanding game
a real alternative to Medal of Honour December 3, 2006

Iniitially very good fun, the game is relatively easy to get used, having been playing Medal of Honour for a while.
The real selling point for this game is the fact that you can order your fellow troops about, which adds more of a sense of resposibility than any other WWII games I've played. However, in terms of making them move about, the game can be a bit frustrating only being able to send them so far. There is a menu with a map showing your objectives and such like, and it perhaps would be better to move your troops using that format, where you can be more precise and the game would utilise a greater tactical element. However, it is still a level above any other WWII games in this respect.
The environments in which you play are well detailed, and you can play the game using slightly different routes, depending on wether you want to be tactical, or merely just run at people shooting.
From a gameplay point of view the character you play is easy to control and does what you want him to do when you ask him, which is always helpful. The shooting is more realistic than I have witnessed before, and as such is more difficult, providing a greater challenge than any game I have previously played. The game places more emphasis on tactics and shooting rather than just the large numbers of enemies that you encounter in Medal of Honour.
The only real downsides being that if your fellow troops die, they magically reincarnate for the next level. You may as well be able to order them to attack machine gun emplacements with a rusty spoon, because you'd still see them in the next level.
And the other problem being the sound of the guns. Your rifle sounds more pea shooter than it does lethal weapon, but you get used to it, and the graphics more than make up for it.
Overall well worth looking at if you're into these types of games, and great fun, I prefer it to Medal of Honour and Call of Duty, and if the ammendments could be made to it regarding continuity and sound, then it would assume classic game status.
Recommended.

This is a very good game,it starts off with you landing in france during the d-day landings, but you land miles of where you are supposed too. So you have fight your'e way through the germans. In the game you control a squad, and you give them orders to attack and suppress, so your'e not just a one man army. The graphics a very good and in the game you don't get any medikits, this is a good idea as you can't always depend on them too keep you alive, so it makes it more realastic. Overall a very good game.
Excellent Game May 13, 2006

The graphics of this game were excellent and the playing of it was excellent also. The intro parts remind me of the t.v. show Band of Brothers however, but this is not a bad thing. I like the talky bits at the start which gives it a sense of personalism like you are actually Matt Baker who you play as. He also talks about his life before the war. Telling you about his parents divorce or telling you what he feels at the moment. This is a revolutionary game and Medal of Honour has taken on some of these aspects to make their games more real (like the fighting is more grim and realistic). Another good thing is that it doesn't promote war as it gives your team mates their own personalities like their are wisecracking people and serious people and people do change over the course of the game which makes it even more sad if they die at your mistakes or in the actual game. Brothers in Arms Road to Hill 30 is one of the best WW2 games out there right now and I look forward to playing Earned in Blood.
