In Brothers in Arms: Hell’s Highway, most of your time will be behind cover.

I finished this game a little while back but never got around to reviewing it until now. To be honest, that’s not exactly a good sign as it means the game didn’t evoke enough feeling out of me (positive or negative) to want to write about it. Still, finally managed to crank it out. The game’s squad-based management system gives it a little something unique in the FPS category, but its general lack of polish and reliance on having played the first two to understand this game’s story hurt it. At least, for me it did as I had no idea who half the characters were. It doesn’t deliver enough in this day and age for a FPS shooter – especially a WWII one.

Good
- innovative squad-based management
- overhead map with good amount of information
- sort of has that Band of Brothers vibe

Bad
- short and lacks polish (talking without lips moving? come on!)
- confusing story and characters if you have never played earlier games
- multiplayer is dead
