Beautiful Graphics with great squad AI but just a little to easy and few unpatched glitches.

I have been a huge fan of the Brothers in Arms series ever since playing Road to Hill 30 which instantly grabbed me and wouldn't let me stop playing. The 3rd installment was not a disappointment and was beautifully done. I found the story very engaging and an outstanding way to show the stress of a soldier in combat. The upgraded weather graphics over previous games really help sell the idea of being on "Hell's Highway" I also found Gearbox's tendency for holding to historical accuracy was very good but I wish they had retained the extras as in the two previous versions. The recon points just didn't have the pull.

I did find that a couple things that pulled me away from being fully immersed in game. First off the ease of which I ran through this game was ridiculous. I could run up to barricades shoot the Germans with little reaction and running in front of nonsuppressed Germans should have killed me but only a shot or two was headed my way. I even found the game relatively easy on Authentic which drastically reduces your ability to hug the wall and aim. Finally I had a glitch on the "Hell's Highway" mission where one of my squads stopped shooting and would only run and hide. This was very frustrating as I was working my way up the road in Authentic mode on the second time through. The end of the mission was also glitched both times through with the train station intro not loading for some reason. The only way to get into the station was restart the game.

I would recommend this game to everyone to at least give it a try but DO NOT pay full price.
