    Action Trip's reviewer says it right. Agree with his comments totally. A marketing scheme to sell an add-on as a sequel while the original game is still "hot". OK game, but seen it all before and not enough differences. Same good points same bad points as original BIA. 'Nuff said.

    Graphics are pretty bad. The actual gameplay is very repetitive and although it's challenging it certainly isn't fun. Realistic? Maybe. Frustrating, slow and boring? Most likely. It's not really a shooter and although it tries to be different, its flaws start to show when nobody plays multiplayer and the skirmish mode is bad as well. Nice idea, but bad execution.

    flaws in the design, such as the inability to go prone or jump over low walls and fences.

    This game is far too scripted and therby limited in its tactical options, its ridiculous being blocked by fences, gates and other minor obstacles from taking an alternative route. Its almost like a movie which is a pity because basically the action gameplay can be good and the combining of tactical play is a great idea.

    Very exciting, just a little too short.

    Great game. It completely immerses you in the experience, the German AI are extremely smart, and the satisfaction of flanking an oblivious group of Nazi's is just about as satisfying as a good ol' bowl of mac n cheese. Most people have a problem with this game just because they aren't bright enough to use strategy and want to go James Bond-style on the Nazis....sorry, this ain't the game for them. Expand

    You should be able to go prone & jump low walls as pointed out earlier. There should be a target sight a more check points on "authentic" difficulty. Throwing grenades on target is really too difficult, I would like a netter sound effect for the Garand & KAR 98. Other than that its a great game. I think this game is at least an 87 & well worth playing & keeping in one's library of ganes.

    I played this game for 30 minutes before I quit and said "this is lame"... but a couple days later, I played it again out of boredom and I slowly found it more interesting, where to the point I was playing this game 2-3 hours a day. The concept of the game is unique in the way that it is not a one man stops the whole german army type of game, it can be frustrating at times having to manage 6-7 sticks and a tank at a time but I liked it. The only bad thing is that I beat this game in about 3 days. Expand

    It's one of those sequels where all of the evolution takes place underneath the façade -- a game you've got to pick up and feel all the subtle differences. And of course, if Blood is your first Brothers experience, well, it's hard to imagine going back to anything less authentic and strategic.
  2. 88
    Only an incremental improvement on the original. The greater flexibility of the AI and the new multiplayer options are certainly welcome additions, but the game still feels... more like Brothers in Arms v1.5 than a full sequel.
  3. Earned in Blood offers a rather similar experience to its excellent predecessor, with improved enemy artificial intelligence and additional multiplayer options. The novelty has worn off just a bit, though.
