Brothers in Arms 3

This third installment of the popular Brothers in Arms series piles on the action and good looking thrills. With a slick graphical interface and some heart pounding action, expect to be on the edge of your seat. While not without its flaws, Brothers in Arms 3 is a very capable shooter.

Brothers in Arms 3: Sons of War is a very solid shooter that is bogged down by freemium costs. In the age of free mobile games, Brothers in Arms 3 is one that has a lot going for it, until you see the hidden agenda. The combat aspects and graphics are both very good, but the all the time bars really hold this game back.

It’s a little bit too overblown at times, leaving you feeling as if Gameloft wants you to spend money above all else. There’s some fun to be had here, for sure, but don’t be surprised if it all leaves a bitter taste in your mouth in the end.

The potential is there for something great, but basic issues like sluggish movement, forced upgrades, and lack of an interesting story backbone leave us with exactly what Brothers in Arms originally strove so hard to set itself apart from: just another mediocre WWII shooter.

I still think the underlying game in Brother in Arms 3 is worth playing, but there are a lot of potential players that will be instantly turned off by all the freemium aspects. Sadly, I can’t say I particularly blame them in this case.

The drop-in, drop-out nature of the stages and easy to pick-up gameplay makes Brothers in Arms 3 the perfect quick-fix of battlefield action
