 Thank You GearboxNov 28, 2005
By Will
This game is way better - WAY BETTER - than Road to Hill 30. There have been many improvements. The levels are larger, the enemies are smarter, and there's co-op play. It also features a skirmish mode that lets you play as Germans and Americans.
The greatest thing about this game is the improved enemy AI. In the last game, I was dissappointed that the enemy just sat behind cover and popped up and shot every once and a while. In this game, you have to be way more careful. The enemy will actually manuever around you and flank you if you don't watch out. So this game combines both elements of offense and defense.
Overall, its a great game.

 Great Sequel to Road to HIl 30Dec 12, 2006
By Samantha S. Dow
Many people who buy this game might instantly put it down after five minutes because they say they "die too much" well thats because your an idiot who dosent no how to play the game. This is a tactical shooter which means you cant just run out into the open and kill every1. This isnt like medal of honor where you can slay 50,000 Nazi's with your small sub-machine gun. NO! You actually have to think things out and decide where to place your squad. I think this game is great, if fun, challenging, and they have a sequel on the 360! Overall if your an MOH or COD fan try it out and see how you like it it has a completely different feel from the run n' gun type games

Brothers In Arms: EIB Review **** 4 StarsJul 04, 2006
By Derek Ryder
Lets start off by saying this is not like the first one, it may seem like it but the story is 100% different you play sgt. hartsock, and in the beginning you talk to a guy about what happened at road to hill 30, and what happened those three days and what not. Now i played the first one i have it and i say this game is much better in every way because its improved on the ps2 then the first some game reviewers say that this is a mediocre and stuff like that!, but it is good only thing wrong with it is the framerate kinda is a pain in the butt, for instance when your in a fight with alot of people it gets really slow and then fast and slow, but the biggest pain of the framerate is when you pause the game and get back to playing it, it really is slowww!, just probally 3 seconds of slowness nothing big. But it is a pain though. Graphics are really good not nearly as good as road to hill 30 but its still enjoyable!, sound isn't as good as the first one too but it is still good without a doubt, let me tell you why i think this, because when you play hartsock and when you press down it isn't as loud as when you played baker in road to hill 30! voice acting is still up there but hartsock is not passionate as baker when he says stuff like surpress those enemies, really loud like yelling loud, like i said voice acting is really top notch both good in this and the other, but this one i preffer just because i like this one overall. Gameplay in EIB is excellent! i love it its more easier too shoot enemies more steadier shooting.... and much better war fights too, missions are awsome all are good "my personal faves are all amercians part 1 and 2" just because its lengthy and the burning city "st. sauveur" looks really good by far it will take you along time to get to those missions but getting cheats will allow you to have all chapters!, overall its really good i really recommend it too all WWII fans or BIA fans too "Like me" its not even close by being the same as the first people LISTEN TO THE STORY CUTSCENES because you will know that this is three days before red actually met sgt. Matt Baker in the first game if you buy it have fun! its really cheap to i'm from Canada and its only 29.98$ at wal-mart and the first one is cheap too over here its 18.98$ at wal-mart.
Graphics 4/5
Sound 4/5
Framerate 3.5/5 sometimes in big war fights it gets slow and also un pausing the game too!
Gameplay 5/5
Difficulty: EASY/VARIABLE!
Overall: 4/5 stars
Its a good game story is excellent a must buy

Enjoyable in small amountsMay 10, 2006
By Javier Reynaldo

The original game in the series (road to hill 30?) is not too different from this sequel, so the review applies to that game as well. The core concept is the use of 1 or 2 squads (depending on the mission): a fire (support) team that's to be used to suppress an enemy, and an assault team to be used to move closer to the enemy and finish them off. It is a 1st person game, so you're free to run around and do whatever you want. This makes it a cross between "Full spectrum warrior" with suppression indicators and an enemy that hides/sometimes flanks and "Ghost Recon" in which you're directly involved in the action.
This idea is initially successful and the game enjoyable, as it gets you used to gradually improving enemy AI and the use of your squad tactics. However, the game ultimately becomes more of a logic puzzle in which you must figure out where to place a squad at each moment. And though they tend to find some cover when under fire, the sqaud members can often stand out in the open long enough to get mowed down, which means you often end up with 1 or 2 other team-mates to help you out. Sometimes it gets more intense with running and gunning, leap-frogging, etc, which adds some freshness. But mostly, it seems to become the stale logic puzzle. So it only seems to be enjoyable for short amounts of time.
As a final note, there are missions in both games in which there is nowhere to use the two squads you've been given; they just get mowed down if you try. These points drag the game down as you play them over and over trying to understand how you're supposed to go about things, without going off on your own and sniping enemies behind cover (and thus defeating the point of the game).
Overall, I enjoyed both games as rentals, but I wouldn't buy them.
Good Game for the PriceAug 31, 2011

The game is pretty fun. I just wish they gave you some health at checkpoints. A big issue is your squad. Sometimes you tell them to take cover and they expose themselves to machine gun fire. So I recommend leaving your squad behind in safety like I do, or just let them suppress the enemy from afar while you attack from a different side.
