 Protection program suspect October 10, 2008
I play 1sr shooter games. When i recieved this I was excited . Except there is a protection program that comes with it. Forget the name but I have heard it linger s on you computer. I had to go to this program's web site d/l a another program to delete it. This company should make clear it uses this type of protection program and Amazon.com should require them to.
Brothers in Arms should just use the usual keycode or Steam.
 Pretty Good Really September 13, 2008
I really liked this game, once I learned to play it. Earned in Blood is the sequel to the first. The next is on the way. You get to have a squad of one or two groups, which is really fun because you get to play the role of the Squad Leader. It is true you cannot go to prone, but only crouch. I learned to overcome that. There are no health pack, nor quick saves, so you on your own to make it to the next stage. The will after several tries offer to reheal your team. Options unlock when difficulties are accomplished. The battlefield is condensed, so the enemy troops appear a lot closer than they are, so you may have to hit them a number of times.
Another thing that was incorporated was suppressing fire. The M1 was better at this than the Thompson sub-mchine gun for example. So you would use this type of weapon up close.
The one thing I always tried to remember was that it was only a PC game, far from reality, so enjoy it. Keep your enemies suppressed and move in to kill, and stay on the move. You will run down on ammo which if is your own teams weapons, can be resupplied from fellow troops.
I thought all things combined BIA made a more interesting game than the usual comparable PC games, where you are normally just on your own, and there are so many health packs.
Dang Tasty! June 30, 2008
This is my first experience with the Brothers In Arms series, and I'm pleasantly suprised! I'm probably only about a third into the single-player campaign portion of the game, but can already tell it's a solid, enjoyable piece of work. Here's why:
- Beautiful graphics & seemingly bug free! I can run the game fine on my old clunker of a laptop with lowered settings, and it still looks and runs splendidly!
- Good music, SFX, voice acting!
- Surpisingly cinematic & immersive single player experience, with a likable protagonist and strong storyline.
- Fun & exciting gameplay! You usually have limited control over a group of your fellow soldiers, which help you out on missions. The AI is really good, too!
A lot of people are complaining about the combat and stupid nerd stuff like that, but I don't see the problem. The combat seems very realistic, with occasionally challenging weapons. Unlike every single action movie and the majority of FPS games, you're not gaurunteed to hit the target every time you shoot at it. Just like in real life, right? If realism frightens or irritates you as a gamer, then you may want to leave this one behind. Your character also reacts realistically to getting injured...so, shock of all shocks, if you let a german shoot you three or four times at close range you'll die. Duh.
There is a strong tactical feel to this game. You can't just charge blindly into combat and blow everything up. You'll have to actually think things through and use the abilities of your allies, which makes for a much more enjoyable and interesting FPS game, as far as I'm concerned. There is also a very useful 'tactical view' type of thing, which allows you to pause combat, pull back and examine the battlefield and plan your attack. Nifty!
It's action packed! It's fun! It's gorgeous! Overall, it's a solid piece of warfare game-r-y! Despite the sometimes repetitive nature of the game, and a few minor annoyances, it's totally worth Picking up!
 Good game. March 26, 2008
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.
Awesome! December 8, 2007

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!
