Brothers in Arms: Hell's Highway

I have completed this game, Brothers in Arms: Hell's Highway quite awhile ago. This game was significantly different from normal batch of first person shooter as this game requires some tactical decision as opposed to running around and shooting everything in sight.

The setting of the game is our usual World War 2 in Europe, still fighting the Nazis. The graphic engine used for this game was the Unreal 3 Engine. Unfortunately there were no options to set AA and AF within the game.

Here are some screen shots captured while playing through it:

1. Loading screen before every mission

My take on Brothers In Arms: Hell's Highway, a decent game in terms of singleplayer. Hence, I give it a rating of 8.5/10 score.

Pros:
1. Good atmosphere, great graphics.
2. Intuitive controls.
3. Play great on lower end PC like mine.

Cons:
1. Routine, feels the same throughout the game
2. A bit on the short side
