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? Go home losers! Get a life! Let me cut to the quick - Brothers in Arms tries to be Call Of Duty with squad based action. IT FAILS MISERABLY!!!!!! This game tries to offer a really solid, SQUAD based game. No more typical First Person shooter. In other words, you don't go running full speed shooting everything in site! And your squad mates actually do help you defeat the enemy. SADLY, this sounds better than it actually is. Game graphics - This game runs on the Unreal Engine so I expected top of the line graphics. You get far less than that! Even the soldiers have NO facial expressions. Their lips move but the face does not change or offer any emotion or expression. Stick lips on a 2"x6" pine plank and you will get the same experience!!! Vocals/Dialog - OHHHHHHhhhhhhhhhh soooo painful! Cliche' after cliche', tons of curse words thrown in as a desperate attempt to give you the "grit" of war. Bad monologues that run on forever, bad cutscenes, nothing interesting at all. Weapons - Nice selection...but highly inaccurate!!! To get any accurate shooting done, you MUST aim down the barrel. With all the fast action going on, you have no time to aim and line up a shot. If you shoot with out aiming, you better be 2 feet away from the guy...and even then they will kill you quick!!! You will not get the chance to use many of the weapons either...unless you hunt on the ground for the dead soldiers dropped weapons. Gameplay - Squad based activity is decent but repetitive. The missions are almost pointless and definitely are redundant! It winds up turning into the same thing everytime. Get ready, start the mission, Germans appear, order your squad to provide cover fire while you flank them and kill them. Wash, rinse and repeat....until the game is finally done! Game Length - Short and not creative. I finished this game on the Difficult setting in 7 hours. I finished it on the hardest setting in 10 hours. Too short and the gameplay is so clumsy at times that you just don't want to play it again. Not rewarding at all.
