The second game in the Brothers in Arms series takes it up a notch as far as the story is concerned. Gearbox has done an unprecedented job in recreating actual locations and battles of Operation Overlord. The true soldier interaction lets you actually see into the minds and actions of a combat veteran and the NCOs who led them. I also found this game very helpful as a resource in my own personal research.
The gameplay is sometimes not very balanced when compared to Road to Hill 30 as I found myself able to take out squads of Germans without any support from my team while other sections wiped out everyone in a matter of minutes. Mind you this review is written after playing authentic.
I also found the command icons to be a little finicky when compared to the first game. At times I would place my team near cover only to have them run right past it into the open and get wasted in a matter of seconds. Other times they would stay put and not listen to my commands. The tanks were usually the biggest pain when this issue came up.
I would like to commend gearbox on their excellent use of sound from the rain tinking on my helmet to the tank missing me by scant inches. The 5.1 is amazing and truly helped me get into the game. Now all I need is a set if 3d glasses and my nerdom will be complete.
For the one or two people that may actually read this.. buy this game even if it is getting a little old. You will be glad you did.
