Created by Texas-based Gearbox Software, Brothers in Arms aims to be one of the most realistic and authentic World War II shooters ever. Based on a true story, the game puts players in the role of Sgt. Matt Baker, a D-Day paratrooper squad leader as he leads the squad through the European campaign. Each battlefield has been meticulously recreated from aerial reconnaissance images, US Army Signal Corps photos and eye-witness accounts of war-torn Normandy.

Brothers in Arms takes some of the best features of each and adds an entirely new tactical dimension. Offering up engaging, squad-based battles and presenting it all in an authentic yet undeniably cinematic setting, Brothers in Arms is a game that, to borrow a phrase from General Patton, "grabs you by the nose and kicks you in the ass."

Overall this is a great game that any WWII shooter fan will enjoy. Unfortunately, with the limited MP games and buggy code, this game could still use some fine tuning. Hopefully some patches will fix this. WWII fans will absolutely enjoy this title and I would highly recommend it. Hopefully some patches will be addressed soon to enhance the overall experience.

Needless to say, the multiplayer is just a small part of the total Brothers In Arms package, and it's a package we think is highly deserving of praise. Gearbox's tactical shooter is not just great fun, it's a technically excellent and innovative piece of work that takes some bold design risks and slam-dunks pretty much every one.
