Brother in Arms: Hells Highway Review

Daigoji_Gai | September 25, 2008 | Reviews | PC Playstation 3 
While the WWII setting has been done to death, that hasn't stopped interest in the (or sales) for WWII titles. Adam Rosenberg of UGO.com's games blog offers his opinions on what he's dubbed the best iterations of the franchise thanks to a great storyline and single player campaign (but also hints there are some frustrations to go along with it).
Regardless, developer Gearbox Software is sending gamers back to Staff Sergeant Matt Baker’s World War II in Brothers in Arms: Hell’s Highway, published by Ubisoft. Set against the backdrop of Market Garden, the game follows Baker and his comrades in the 101st Airborne Division as they push forward against German forces in a variety of familiar settings. Equal parts Medal of Honor and Company of Heroes with liberal sprinklings of HBO’s Band of Brothers thrown in to strengthen the narrative, Hell’s Highway has finally emerged from its extended development as what is easily the best entry in Gearbox’s long-running tactical FPS series.

        According to UGO, it will come out on the 23rd, im guessing that shipping date as all companies advertise that. It should be out today or tomorrow.
