Video Game Reviews of Brothers in Arms: Road to Hill 30
Customer Review: Another FPS WW2 game
Summary: 3 Stars
How may times do we fight the same battles?
Don't get me wrong, I like this game. There are just some VERY annoying things about it.
I, like many people, have always wanted a story I could play. You get this here. But I found out I don't want it, when it's with a story I've played, read or watched many times over already.
That is to say, you can't bypass the clip screens. You have to wait till it's over. That to me is quite annoying.
I don't much care about the character, nor why he is there, or what he thinks about the whole situation.
The game overall is good. The graphics are great, & finally, someone wrote the code to let you know from where you are being shot (instead of just going red screen).
Shooting is worse than the guns at a cheap carnival. Even with the sights on, you miss head shots. You even miss on full auto in a sweeping motion. You can't shoot through wood, grass or bushes either.
I would think part of buying expansions & additional games, is to have the game be enjoyable enough to play it. You won't want to load this game, unless you're going to let it load, than come back to it. That, or leave it running.
I'm not impressed with this game overall, nor the other story Hell's Kitchen (more on that in that review).
I want to play this game, the map feature (V key) is great, but the rest of it is so buggy.
The cheats don't work most of the time if you're looking to just get playing (after waiting for the loads & cut scenes). Your aim is way off (even when you John Wayne them).
I would put my money in something else really. Like finding the elusive copy of Castle Wolfenstein expansion.
