World War 2 games are what everyone was waiting for before Medal of Honor came along, but with that came a flood of such games that filled all our appetites. So, is there room for another World War 2 game, the answer is YES! Brothers in arms isn't just another World War 2 game, it does something different. It adds a feeling of team work and strategy behind it that makes it worth playing. There is also a nice little story and a bond between the men you are fighting beside, which makes a nice change from those faceless characters that fall beside you. The flank maneuver is a welcome change, where you must pin and flank your enemy to over come them. The problem with this is that it becomes a little linear before long and you'll find your team is only really useful for pinning the enemy when you put them in the right place, but its still fun regardless. I guess I wouldn't give this game a full 9.0 or above because I do believe with this great new idea, a lot more could be done. I don't like that your men can die beside you only to be alive again in the next level, but it's understandable due to the fact that they all play a part in the overall story. This can be forgiven for the fact that the story is nice and has an interesting twist. The only other problem would be the multiplayer which has had an endless amount of problems since it was released and I still haven't got a good game out of it. Overall this game is a worthy addition to your collection, as long as you don't mind the little faults, and you’re not buying it for the multiplayer aspects.
