PROS:
-Historically, it was a good time period of WWII to choose
-Good cover system
-Teammates respond very well
-Watching stuff blow up in slow motion is pretty entertaining
CONS:
-Voice-overs weren't the best, but could have been better
-Semi-short game, about 6-8 hours
FINAL THOUGHT:
This game is pretty good, it's definitely better than the previous Brothers in Arms entry Earned in Blood. This games does a lot of good things; Good cover system, teammates aren't stupid, enemies are very good at responding, weapons respond well, graphics were pretty decently good for next-gen, sound is well-done, and controls are nicely laid out. This game doesn't really have a lot of bad going for it, only what is listed above. Typical FPS properties still apply for this game, nothing spectacular, whatever you would expect from an FPS is here. Storyline is pretty obvious, just read up on Operation Market Garden from WWII and you will get the low down of the story. If you have played previous Brothers in Arms games such as; Road to Hill 30 or Earned in Blood, this game keeps the same premise, but for next-gen. Obviously you should rent before you buy, but it would be a good buy when it gets cheap, unless you are a BIA fanatic.
