Brothers in Arms: Road to Hill 30 (2005 Video Game)

Awesome game, cannot decide if Earned in Blood is better...

[10/10 · 1 March 2009]

I own a Wii, and I rented the other day Brothers In Arms: Double Time. Double Time is basically just a port of Brothers in Arms: Road to Hill 30 and Brothers in Arms: Earned in Blood for the Wii, since both games were released in 2005 and the Wii came only a year later. I will only start by saying that on the Wii, and I don't know if it has anything to do with the motion controls, but you actually feel like you are Sgt. Matt Baker and leading your squad. The sound effects work really well, and the graphism was good, although I have already seen better then that. This game, while being a first-person shooter, is also a strategy game, because you will need to give your squad orders if you want to survive. That seemed pretty hard to do when I first heard about it, but in the end it works out pretty well. You hold the A button on the wii remote and point out to where you want them to get covered, you hold the A button and point at an enemy to make them fire and you make circle motion gestures with the nunchuck to get them grouped and make them join you. The story is really well-written, and believe it or not, you will be sad when your comrades will die. Sometimes, I just restarted a level when Pvt. Garnett or Pvt. Allen died just so I could do the level with them again and make them survive. One thing is too bad, it's the enemy AI, who seems to only manage to hit you when you're close, so it's easier to shoot them from a distance, but come on people. Buy this game!
