  • Summary: Experience the intensity of WWII through the stories of Sergeants Baker and Hartsock and your squad of paratroopers during the Normandy invasion. Brothers In Arms D-Day brings players the best of the Brothers In Arms franchise in a handheld gaming system. Players experience D-Day as a Screaming Eagle with more tactics and action exclusive to the PSP system. Now players can surprise the enemy for the ultimate advantage in firefights, leading a fire team throughout the entire Normandy campaign. For the first time, players will also be able to lead a bazooka team, order their squad on an MG42, or fire mortar rounds. An enhanced co-op mode (Skirmish) offers players a 12-mission campaign. Co-op multiplayer (Skirmish mode): Play with a friend over ad hoc (wireless) through 12 different Skirmish missions in four different game modes through the co-op campaign. [Ubisoft]… Expand

    The levels themselves are a combination of some from past games and new ones, so it's not massively fresh for players of previous games. That aside, this is top strategic shooting stuff. [Feb 2007, p.65]

    D-Day doesn't change anything or bring anything new to the table sadly, but if you want the same Brothers in Arms experience on a handheld, then this is faultless if a bit unambitious.

    This is quite long and has stacks of replay value with the multiplayer. That multiplayer mode will be hugely satisfying to anyone who happens to know someone else with a PSP (gasp!) and it represents further evidence that 2006 is the year of co-op gaming.

    It lacks the emotional and technical "oomph" of its big-screen relatives, highlighted by the notoriously futzy control scheme that'll have you pulling out your hair. With that said, it's still one of the best shooters on the PSP, packing a serious challenge in an impressively sized campaign (not to mention some ad-hoc multiplayer) that'll keep you busy for awhile.

    Wow is this game great. I got it a couple days ago and it turned out that it was great. The controls were no problem, the graphics were beautiful, the game was around 10 HOURS long! That is extremely long for a PSP shooter. I am ready to play the story mode around 10 more times, because it is soooo fun.… Expand

    This is by far the best WW2 FPS available on PSP. I also have Call of Duty Roads to Victory and this game is superior. The graphics are simply stunning, better than the Brothers in Arms PS2 versions, and I find the control is ironically even better than the PC BIA versions - on the PSP you can actually hit head shots at long range with the iron sights! Plus all the best missions from the first two BIA are in this plus skirmish mode so it is a massive game that gives you value for your money. The fun co-op alone makes this a must buy.… Expand

    This game is confused, the fps element is bad, the tactics part rocks. Its misadvertised, but the controls are for tactics. If your looking for a great fps for the psp, get medal of honor, if your looking for an awesome brain game, buy this, because you ant just charge your enemy, you need to use the environment to your advantage, so don't expect Halo or Call of Duty, expect tactics with a bit of action.… Expand
