Less than £10 for all 3 Brothers In Arms games? You'd be mad not to put your money down straight away. These are unlike most WWII FPS games, you aren't the super hero who single-handedly wins the war for the allies. Instead you have to lead a squad composed of an assault and support teams that you direct to attack objectives. How you do that is up to you but following the maxim of "Fix, Flank, Finish" will generally stand you in good stead - get your support team to fix an opponent (the game uses a suppression technique where the enemy has an indicating wheel above their heads - fill up the wheel by attacking them and they stop firing at you for a while as they hunker down to avoid getting killed by your withering attack), get your assault team to flank the enemy and then finish the opponent off with an assault. While this is happening you are still playing an FPS so you can move about however you want - you can help the support team to fix an enemy with covering fire or you can move with your assault squad or, if you want to play the hero, you can hit the enemy on your own and have your team just act as back up. Controls are the usual FPS fare (using iron sights will give you better accuracy) and you can use the usual WWII US army weapons (Garand, BAR, etc) and you can pick up enemy weapons (KAR, MP40, etc) as you go along. The best thing about this series is the fact that you can't help but want to keep all your squad alive - and if you're not careful you WILL lose people). I replayed so many chapters in this game purely because I lost a single guy in a play through and couldn't stand the thought of playing further without them. You have to buy these games, they are the best single player WWII FPS games on the market, even 10 years after their release.
Is this helpful to you?
