this is the most realistic game you will ever play. every detail, from the sounds of the guns to the buildings in the towns, are real. The soldiers are real too. This is the first World War 2 game that has ever put real tactics and commands, instead of Rambo medal of honor shoot everything that moves. The story and characters are deep and you feel sad when they die and it is scary when youre fighting alone. This is a no BS World War 2 game and probably the best World War 2 game you will find for a very long time. You should definently get this if you want a great First Person Shooter.

You shoot people 10 times and they're still shooting at you?!? Oh wait you have to get up close and personal in order for your shots to hit, and still, if you don't zoom in the chances of you hitting them are slim. I don't know how many head shots I had in this terrible game and yet the enemy is still sitting there shooting at me.

As far as the tactics go, those are new and good; maybe some good programmers will take this to another level cause the programmers for this game obviously need to go back to school. How hard is it when the crosshair is right on someone and you hit the fire trigger, to give the player a hit??? Wow.

One mission I shot a tank twice with a rocket launcher, one time from the front, then a second time (after I died) from the back, yet the tank lives isn't that wonderful? No, this game stinks. And for the record I didn't shoot the tank in the same spots.

The only way I'd play the next Brothers In Arms is if it isn't made by the same people or if it's free. What a waste of a good, new feature for a shoot em' up war game.

It's just like you're there

This game is very well done. Unlike the 'Medal of Honor' series which is just you versus the entire German army, this game really puts you there, in stunning realistic detail, in charge of two fire teams and occasionally a tank for support. The story follows a small unit of the 101st airborne in the days after the Normandy invasion of 1944. The story is rich, the AI and graphics are amazing, and your comrades actually do help you suppress and defeat the enemy, registering many kills of their own. The story draws you in. You will care about your men and may feel you want to start missions over if you lose your men.
The Germans are smart. They use cover when you are suppressing them. They try and flank your position. They'll toss grenades at you. Often they try to catch you in a cross-fire. They charge when they think YOU are suppressed. You have to be cautious. Don't just go charging in like Rambo or you and your men are dead.
You can use your tank for mobile cover to protect your men and rely on its awesome firepower. You can sneak up behind a German Panzer Tank and drop a grenade in the cockpit while your teams distract it. You can use one fire team to suppress an enemy while you take the second team around to flank him and take him out, which will be your primary tactic during this game. It is excellent.
WARNING: This is WAR, and there is a LOT of cursing and some blood spatter. This is as realistic as it gets without actually being there. It is NOT for young children. Mind the 'M' rating.

Get it on X-box

This game is way to short. Its only 14 missions long and each mission takes about 10-15 minutes (for me anyway). The shotting is impossible from far away with a automatic or a rifle. The enemies are smarter than your guys by a long shot. Your guys get them selves killed only taking on one german. If you get shot your gun shakes and its impossible to shoot someone that is even one foot infront of you. The game is fun and I enjoyed playing it, but i couldnt enjoy myself for long becuase I finished the game before i could one glass of milk that I was drinking before i started to play the game. I gave it bad reviews because it deserved it.

Great game but it could be better

This game could be better but it is still a good game. It got the German k908 wrong and put a yugo M48 instead you can tell by the handguard by the reciever look up m48 and then look up k98 on google

Get it for XBox instead if you have one...Otherwise no need to bother.

(BTW:I own PS2,XBox,GameCube,XBox 360 and am a future PS3 and NRev owner so my views are non-biased)
----
I don`t know why people bother putting tactical-shooters on PS2,Apart from multiplayer modes they are no good,Ghost Recon,Rainbow Six,Full Spectrum Warrior,Conflict,Brothers In Arms and so on are just not suited for the PS2,its all down to stubborn controlls that are confusing and it all turns into a button-bash which stresses people out-The XBox controller is more carefully set out for tactical-shooter games and they run smoothly.
The reason i gave BIA:RTH30 on PS2 3 stars rather than 1 stars is because the graphics are decent,the WWII scenes are accurate and the story is rich.
However PS2 does have three good tactical-shooters,they are SOCOM,SOCOM II and SOCOM 3 which were made specifically for PS2 and it has good Online too.
If you are looking for 5 good shooter games on PS2:

1)BLACK(Brilliant game)
2)Half-Life(old,but its good)
3)any SOCOM game.
4)Cold Winter
5)Project:SNOWBLIND

But when it comes to WWII-PS2 still has the brilliant Call Of Duty and Medal Of Honor games-So you ain`t missin out on anything from BIA other than a rich storyline.

JUST RENT IT

Dont be fooled by the commercials and ads for this game, they make it look ten times better than it really is. First off it is deffinately like the other guy said, 2nd your guys cant even run to all out attack ONE GERMAN with half of the team getting killed pff if its five of your guys charging one german than usually only about 2 or 3 make it back, and last the game only took me 2 afternoons to beat! (on normal) the game is finished too quick and plus there are a lot of little glitches i found about your squad, like one time instead of running my guy "floated" very fast to a position....? so anyways just rent the game, you'll have it beat in NO TIME. This game was deffinately a waiste of money...
