I'm going to voice my biggest complaint about this game first, so that anyone thinking of buying BIA because it looks "realistic" or because it looks like a "simulation" might be deterred.

The major drawback to the game is actually one of... more

Good attempt, CRAPPY results......Don't buy it!!!!!
First of all, any review of this game dated before March is a load of lies. LIES!!!! This game was not available until 3/2005! Not August 2004!!! How honest can a reviewer of this product be if the game was not available at the time the review was written?... more

Brothers in Arms: Road to Hill 30
It took a call to UBI to install this game. They told me they are having trouble with the program called Nero so I was told to delete it, I did this and it still would not work. Another call to UBI. I had to shut down all background programs. It worked!... more

Very well done
This was a very solid effort and a good gaming experience. Although a FPS, it makes a pretty simple set of command tools available to maneuver fire teams from point to point, suppress and maneuver on the enemy. A couple of times if you get through a level... more

Junk
I've had this game for a week and I can't play multi-player. Not once. No support. None. No FAQ. No e-mail address to contact. No online help. Tiny manual. So I have half a game. Bummer.

Left Call of Duty behind, to eat its dust
The moment i had this game in my hands, i was in heaven. The moment i played this game, i had tears in my eyes, and i was so exited, it wasnt funny!! Finaly a game that is reallistic, WITH OUT CROSS HAIRS!! The cross hairs make the game all the more fake.... more

Great idea, but poor execution.
I was really looking forward to getting this game... the media blitz really had this game super-hyped and I was hoping for a rival to Call of Duty. Sadly, the hype was hardly deserved.

In terms of hardware reqs, this game is pretty forgiving.... more

Be Still My Pounding Heart
Brothers in Arms is truly remarkable on so many levels it's difficult to know where to begin, however I guess I should start by saying that this is an ADULT title and not for the wee ones in your clan. The language is saucy to say the least with the... more

old game
Why is this game being advertised on television as if it is a new game? It is a year old and apparently a port to the PC.

Not as good as Call of Duty
This game is OK. There are no major flaws in it. The squad control element gets a bit tedious at times. While it is fairly easy to give commands to your squads, they don't always follow them well. When members of the squd die they usually just re-appear... more

If you like Call of Duty, etc...you'll have no problems here and will be floored by the utter complexity of the combat situations you will be thrust into.

Anyone looking for strategic military simulations like Operation Flashpoint will be... more

What were they thinking??!!??
After reading up on this game for what seemed like forever, it finally comes out. I was all excited to pick up a copy. I had no problems installing it, as i have read many people are having. I DO have some very big gripes with this game though.... more

Don't buy if you have a 6600GT PCIExpress
I can't even install this game as it fails on install claiming that I don't have a video card. Maybe they forgot that not everyone is still using AGP cards (or maybe it is my 64 bit AMD proc)? Either way, tech support has been slow in getting back to... more

They should rename it "Brothers in Hype".
I cannot believe how much this game was hyped! It sure paid off, the hype machine keeps rolling with the fanboys on this one. I found Brothers in Arms-PC VERY poor...

They should rename Brothers in Arms to "Brothers in Hype", because thats... more

Dumb Reviewers
First off, Kyle, a GeForce 4 MX420 is not "a very common video card." In fact, it's an outdated one that can't even handle the best games that are out there today.

Secondly, I don't know what your source of bugs/crashes are, but for the... more

Technology Issues
This game has severe technology issues, especially pertaining to video cards. It does not run on certain very common video cards such as the GeForce4 MX 420. I wasted my money on this game that I now cannot play unless I buy and install a brand new video... more

This crap is getting old
Overview: Excellent twist on the old FPS genre. Good use of a simple team based structure, but still fundamentally the same genre, and not the more advanced real time infantry based skirmishing simulation that many were hoping for.

Disclaimers:... more

Try the Red Ochastra Mod.
Relating to the question from that guy asking why he couldn't play the game from the axis side and the guy in his responce to the question...................try Red Orchastra (A mod for Unreal Tournament 2004) it pits you playing either as a Nazi or Russian... more

Band of Brothers in Arms
First, in correspondence with the review posing the question of being able to play on the axis side? The answer is yes, in multiplayer. As in most WWII shooters you'll be able to play as an Axis power, which is very much the same with Battlefield 1942... more
