If you enjoy hugging cover like Gears of War, and issuing squad commands like Rainbow Six, then you'll most likely love Brothers In Arms.

A few gripes : Relatively short (8 hours?), poor graphics in some areas, Character models look very similar, combat in close range is suicide.

Positives : Moving and realistic storyline, some of the best "bot" A.I. I've ever seen ( they really do use cover... well), solid voice acting and sound, a super gritty look at WW2 that does not pull any punches.

A great rental! Just wish it were longer and a bit more in depth. IE: Air strikes, Mortar teams, Sniper control etc...

I started playing this game this past weekend and I've gotten through 6 of the missions and so far I have enjoyed it. As others have said, it takes a while to get used to the controller layout, but after the first mission or so you're over that.

For Xbox gamers, the achievements are pretty straight forward and attainable, aside from the chievos for playing once a week for 3 months, once a day for 100 days, and (at this point) playing the game on September 17th. The rest are for completing the missions, and various things that will come in time such as the action camera shots (for headshots and explosions for killing multiple enemies).

I have not tried the online yet, but it will probably be vastly different than the single player, as it'll be hard to find people to play to the strategy.

Give this game a look, get it on here, and if you like it it's only $45 to keep it.

this game is 10 times better than call of duty 4 except for the multiplayer dropout. Brothers in arms not only has the most mindblowing graphics of any game to date, it has a incredible storyline and has many neat features. In this game u can control ur squad to flank the opponents and in cod4 u mainly had to do it on your own. But this game isnt completely perfect though. No one really plays the multiplayer and theyre some lag issues. The game types are no where near as fun as cod4. The achievements in this game are very well tuned just like call of duty except for the one that makes you wait a full year just to get it. Overall great gameplay, horrible online, great graphics, and a hard game to get bored of so so far this game has my vote for GAME OF THE YEAR
