Brothers in Arms: Hell's Highway
Despite what videogames have told us in the past, World War II wasn't won with a bolt action rifle wielded by an invincible Hollywood action hero - obviously, it was a conflict lost by many. Brothers in Arms: Hell's Highway is relentless in emphasizing this with an engaging psychological story and high-intensity combat that both entertains and petrifies you every step of the way.

Brothers in Arms Hell's Highway Review
Brothers in Arms: Hell's Highway is just a masterpiece great game! The storyline is engaging, the gameplay is awesome, and it is really fun! Brothers in Arms: Hell's Highway is the best game I have ever played! This game is better than Call of Duty: World at War! If you play this game, you will probably find yourself having a whole bunch of fun and being on the edge of your seat for the storyline! This game wins my award for game of the year in 2008 and the best game ever created!

I felt like I was in Hell!
Hells' Highway is by far the worst game that Ubisoft has ever published! They've done an outstanding job with Ghost Recon, Rainbow Six, and many others, that I cannot believe I got this, rent it first, and try it out before thinking of spending 60 dollars.

It's OK......
First of, let me just mention this, the game is good!!!. How good depends on you, but certainly a lot of fun and challenging. Its not hard, but you have to think, no rush and gun gameplay here.
Let me start with the controls. The controls take getting used to. It took me about 30 to 60 minutes to learn, a long time. You can change the controller's button layout, but they are all predetermined, and none are exactly what you want. A custom layout would have been welcomed. You can hardly turn when you run, but you get used to it.
The game has a LOT of glitches, from guys walking infinitely toward a wall, to you pressing the zoom button only to recognize two second later the game never registered that you are pressing the button, so he never zooms and you have to release the trigger and press it again. This still doesn't take away from the fun, which is amazing.
The game is simple and complicated at the same time. Lemme explain. Its simple in you move from one field to another and you find cover, and then flank them so you can shoot them yourself. Its complicated as the commands you issue aren't always followed (dam you bazooka team, always dying on me, when I tell you to move, MOVE!!!).
Multiplayer is HORRIBLE. I dont wish it on anyone. It is torture. It was just put in as a feature. Its the same mechanics as the single player, (so bad controls!!!), and basically there are two flags on the stage to capture. You are assigned to a squad and CANT change,so you are stuck with said squad's weapon loadout, not fun.
The story is well written and will keep you interested, but I had a hard time remembering who is who as the graphic are mostly Xbox 1 quality. Most memorable moments where setting up an ambush against incoming enemies in a warehouse in 10 seconds and watch as my team makes it to position just in time and slaughters them without any help. The tank segments are fun, and the areas are well planned and make you think everytime. Definitely a must play, but I can't justify its $60 dollar price tag to everyone. This is not a typical FPS game, but a lot of fun if you get into it.
