Despite these quibbles, BIA is the finest war shooter on Xbox. Undoubtedly there are issues we'd like to see addressed in the inevitable sequel: more varied levels, more tanks, more proactive enemy AI, fairer firing. Nonetheless, BIA manages to provide an entertaining and satisfying tour of Normandy without in any way sensationalising or patronising the subject matter.

For the majority of the missions (most of them based around taking and defending farmhouses, villages and towns) you'll have a fire team and an assault team to accompany you. No man won the war alone, and Brothers in Arms requires you to both command and lead your squad through crucial missions during the first nine days of the allied invasion.ĭuff commands can mean Chuck ain't marrying his high-school sweetheart from Missouri, and that's the sort of responsibility you're going to have to handle and later confront.īIA habitually exhibits that war is hell but, thankfully, ordering your troops about is not.
