Historically accurate, great attention to detail and tactically very challenging. The Masterpiece of the genre.
The BIA franchise was built on historical accuracy and attention to detail as well as a kind of tactial realism that no other WWII shooter has been able to capture. Don't expect this game to stray from that general model. The game makes you really feel like one is a part of the real band of brothers in Holland ready to fight the Nazi's. It reeks of realism as opposed to the slick COD scripted approach. With BIA this is how the war was faught. Small groups with intense skirmihes. Battles could be long and protracted where it is easy to get pinned down unless you use your head. I love the model and, as I have moved through the game, it is considerably more brilliant as I go along. Note: The first few levels of the game may seem a bit tame because of the training aspects that kick in to help you learn all the games features. First impressions are sometimes not to be trusted. This game is the ultimate realization of the franchise...and I guarantee you when after a long and drawn out firefight you score that headshot you will know what I am taling about.
This is a really another fun and intersting chapter in the BIA series. It has many good points The story is great, the player models are great, the attention to Historical detail is great. Some of the special effects involving hits on opponents are magnificent
I know that tremendous effort went into the attention to historical detail. Some of these sets really capture the reality of a war ravaged once idyllic countryside. I give the BIA team high marks for this and the great story and player models with great battles and skirmishes. Ultimately they stuck with what has worked so well in the past and it does have many really great moments.
Single Player Campaign = 10.0
Multiplayer...I don't really know because I never played it for the Multiplayer mode and who needs it when the single player campaign is so superior.
