Brothers in Arms: Earned in Blood is meant to be a game of tactical combat rather than a full-on battle game, but it still is pretty darn irritating. The country settings are beautifully recreated and the weapons are very well-done, but this game would be impossible if there were no checkpoints, and irritates straight from Level 1. The game has a huge number of missions, and offers far more than t more
Brothers in Arms: Earned in Blood is meant to be a game of tactical combat rather than a full-on battle game, but it still is pretty darn irritating. The country settings are beautifully recreated and the weapons are very well-done, but this game would be impossible if there were no checkpoints, and irritates straight from Level 1. The game has a huge number of missions, and offers far more than the likes of Black or Conflict: Desert Storm, but those games are better because you actually stand a chance in them. Brothers in Arms: Earned in Blood is more realistic than any other war game I own, but it has to be realistic in a way that won't irritate and will engage. Also, the Germans are so damn hard to hit, and kill you with one hit from their rifle. Why so unfair? This game has the graphical and gameplay qualities of the Call of Duty series, but is far more irritating, and offers a much less intense experience. It is good, but not great. 7/10
