I bought this game because I've played and beat all the other WW2 games, so I thought I'd give this one a try. It's basically part strategy and part fps. You have a fire team and an assault team that you direct to outflank the enemy and suppress fire. You have a battlefield map that you can pull up that gives you an aerial view of the battlefield so you can decide where you can most efficiently utilize your teams to suppress fire. It was fun at first, but there isn't much variation from mission to mission. It's just outflank, suppress, move on, and after a while it got pretty repetitive. The graphics are decent, and the game is challenging, since there are checkpoints and no quick saves and the levels become more strategically complex as you go, but I found it got tedious and just wasn't that much fun. If you like more strategy oriented games, then you will probably like this one, but if you are into games like MOH and COD, then you will most likely be disappointed with this one.

Brothers In Arms: Earned in Blood is a friendly game. It plays well on my old 1.5 GHz AMD machine with 512 MB of RAM using Windows 2000 Pro. I run it at 800x600 using an old ATI 9600XT graphics card with 128 MB of video RAM. It does take a bit more horsepower to run than Brothers In Arms: Road to Hill 30, only because of the better and more realistic graphics.

You will enjoy it if you like nostalgic WWII games.

Awesome!

Far better than any other game series out there. The realism and authenticity all the way down to the sounds of the weapons while you reload, this game just continues to improve and impress.

Key Features:
basically the same features found in the first Brothers in arms. This game however improved a bit by adding new weapons and increased the difficulty right off the bat at the beginning of the game. It is not recommended anyone attempt this before playing the original. The storylines tie together exactly and the gameplay is virtually the same, I highly recommend this series for anyone out there but you must please play them in order!

Cons:
NONE!

In fact this game improved on the replayability too! The first one was storyline only and proved to be boring after youve beaten the game multiple times on all difficulty settings. Whereas this sequel has been improved in that, there is an optional skirmish mode that allows different types of play when you just wanna have fun and shoot Germans rather than listen to storyline in between each chapter.

Overall:
EXCELLENT!

Great game!

I will have to say, this is probably as close as it gets to WW2! My grandpa was in WW2, and he says that this is so close to what he did, he almost says "Yes, Sir!" after the dialoge. I picked up this game because of it's support of the G15 keyboard lcd, and now I cant put it down. Some problems with the sound. As well stated in an earlier review, "the only better alternitave is to join the army."

I contacted Ubisoft about an issue with the Starcraft CD protection drivers, and they never even responded. Avoid this headache at all cost. Save your cash and purchase another WWII FPS from a better group software coders.

out of all the WW 2 combat and flight simulators i have i must say that brothers in arms is my over all favorite, it is so real and just like being in the thick of the action, there are a lot of diffrent missions and commands that you have to do given they are your mission, these missons are a true challenge and makes the game seem as if you are there and in real combat, just turn up the speakers down the lights and put your self in the game, and as far as realisom, this is it in Brothers in arms, blood if you are squimish can be reset so you dont see much, the Fighting is very real and the game allows diffent levels of play depending on your skills and exsperiance in playing WW2 shooter, you can also edit missions in editor,some missons are harder than others but this game gives you the thought that you are in the Military in the thick of action of WW2, also the graphics of ( Brothers in Arms Earned in Blood ) are as good if not Better than any game out thier, i give this game in Graphics realisom and game play 5 Stars

dont miss out you wont be sorry for this buy

for various reasons already mentioned I find the game arduous and not enjoyable, the experience (even with the self touted situational awareness) is static and nothing about the game environment is immersing, it's just frustrating, and the feel is clumsy.

Good game.

Played the Road to Hill 30 demo, so I had to get this game. It was alright don't care to have to play through game multiple times just to unlock another difficulty level. Overall liked it.
