Ubi-soft releases another "Brothers In Arms" title but not to as much enthusiasm as last time,this time around the game is not as good.Although its not a bad game it does have its downside.
Some of the new features this time around are a new skirmish mode where you take control of a squad and have missions,you can play with a friend on co-op too.

This game is nearly the same as the last installment but with more bugs,on co-op mode there is a major lag,and i'm not talking a hiccup,the whole time your playing its like your playing the matrix.

The A.I. isn't all that shiny either,sometimes your troops will take cover in front of the cover instead of behind it.
Also increased in this new version is difficulty,its near impossible to take out 3 panzer's and 50 german's when all you have is a rifle and 4 squad members.

Don't expect a brand new storyline either,its basically the exact same story as last time but from Joe Hartsocks point of view.In this game you get to see how Matt Baker was'nt as much of a hero as was let on to be in the first game.

And as for realism dont hold your breathe,when you stand infront of another soldier in the game you look like you are about 3 inches tall,and you dont even have legs,so basically you are a 3 inch torso flying around killing Nazi's.

The sound in the game however is actually pretty good,it sounds the same as last year which wasnt very bad.The gunfire in the game sounds quite realistic and the voicework is superb.

If you havent played a Brothers In Arms game before,have no fear because you will still understand the story because its basically the same one,and the controls are very easy to master.

The very cool feature that the game included which last year included as well but this year touched up on it a little bit is the squad command,although some games tried to rip-off the squad command (did I hear someone say Medal Of Honor?) this game really does it right,allowing you to suppress your enemy and even having a little meter above their head telling you how suppressed they are.

So if your in the market for a good WWII shooter,try your hand at some other WWII games such as Call Of Duty 2:The Big Red One but if you have played that game before,you could try renting this game instead of buying it.
