Has all the merits of the original...great graphics and gameplay...but just felt a little too repetitive.

The original Brothers in Arms was great. It was very emotional and had a very unique squad control system, which gave you a lot of freedom to complete missions in a variety of ways. The graphics were top notch, the sounds were immersive and overall it was an excellent game.

This game (Brothers in Arms 2 really) feels more like an expansion pack than a sequel. It has all the merits of the above, but it doesn't really improve in any area vastly. Sure there are little changes here and there that make it altogether a bit easier and more enjoyable, but it feels far too like the original. The storyline is too similar (the same...in theory) and the locations seem all too familiar.

In the end, I liked this game overall...but felt that a sequel should expand on the original really, and not rehash the same stuff, however good it was. Hopefully if they make another one, they will introduce new characters and take us to new locations...to refresh the series so it doesn't get bogged down in the same old stuff.
