This game plays just like BiA: Road to Hill 30. There are plenty of bad guys to blow away, but, you also have to use your head to properly position your fire and assault teams in order to gain victory. You cannot simply run head first into an unknown situation and expect to live to tell about it. I love and admire the time and effort Gearbox has devoted to carefully researching the after action reports, aerial reconnaissance, and other historical documents relating to the missions and true characters that are portrayed in the game. They even went on location to Normandy to get a sense of what the combat must have been like and to get the scenery and location details of the game just right. The "Extras" section is a great bonus of historical information and technical details of how the game was created. For someone like me who deeply respects the personal sacrifices of the men and women who fought in WWII, this game is a tribute and a testimony to their character and commitment to answering the call of their country. They truly learned what it means to be "Brothers in Arms". I highly recommend this game and its predecessor and I am eagerly awaiting the next installment.
