The sequel to Brother in Arms: Road to Hill 30 is out now. The first game, released only seven
months ago, received glowing reviews from critics, but for the most part, was slept on by the gaming public. No doubt,
fans of Road to Hill 30 are eager to see how the sequel, Brother in Arms: Earned in Blood, has
improved upon the original, but if you missed this series the first time out, be sure to give Earned in Blood
an honest look.
Choice quotes from the critics:
-
1UP: 95/100 "Thanks to a potent combination of ingenious tactical A.I., flawless squad controls, and terrifying audio/visuals, these games are a perfect balance of realism and playability, without resorting to heavy-handed scripting and the predictable linearity in level designs found in its contemporaries. In fact, Blood is so good, it actually manages to put its predecessor to shame."
-
Team Xbox: 96/100 "In terms of presentation, technical gameplay, graphics, and audio, it's nearly impossible to rise above Brothers in Arms: Earned in Blood in any area."
-
GameSpy: 100/100 "While Brothers in Arms: Earned in Blood feels a bit too much like its predecessor in many ways, that's like saying "The Godfather 2" was a bit too similar to "The Godfather."
