Brothers in Arms: Road to Hill 30 review

[ha0x]

The story starts in Normandy, when paratroopers are being dropped in enemy territory. The enemy is alerted and starts to defend their lines. You are Sgt. Matt Baker, squad leader of 12 men i guess (i forgot my section) and you must try to give them orders to break through the enemy lines. When you are ready to jump out of the plane, suddenly there's an explosion and you lost your squadron when you land on the ground ....

There's a lot of action and the graphics are great. The chapters (more like a dairee from the soldier) have some fascinating stories. You even have a strategy option to take control of your squadron when your on assault (pic3 and pic4). The difficult thing is, there is no crosshair so you need the option to zoom (see pic7) if you want to be able to shoot your enemy.
If you liked COD:UO and other similar games like that, then you'll like BIA:RTH30.

Hmmm looks nice. without me bothereing to search for it, is it a PC game? (methinks it is as I'm sure i've seen it "around", but dismissed it as being a corny blag containing an 80's album by some guitar slinging group). And point 2, I notice from your first pic, your signed in as "Leatherface".............. We have a banned member by the same name......... :) (why take a pic of the menu screen?)

Poo, I shall aquire the "demo" anyway, thanks for the review :D

Yes, "Leatherface" was banned for absolutely no reason, if i remember correctly it was something to do with Ripper :rolleyes:
