  1. It's also unfortunate that there's no multiplayer of any sort, which definitely hurts the game's longevity. [Dec 2008, p.98]
  2. Too little, too late. A shameless, lazy cash-in on a venerable series, which ultimately feels totally pointless to play. [Feb 2009, p.70]
  3. The sound effects and voice acting (though B-rated in and of itself) add a level of immersion to the game that, without it, would have been an utter failure. Even with them, though, the game only becomes passable.
  4. Double Time gives you double the frustration for half the price.

    Had a lot of time playing this over the weekend, and absolutely loved it! Going to keep this game, and I am still so far from completing it! Replay value is high, as you can take different routes in missions sometimes, and change difficulty. Shame theres no online, but I am not fussed too much after playing this. Expand

    Just a port of the Road to Hill 30 and Earned in Blood games from the previous installments of the BIA series on XBOX. Poor contorls, shotty hit detection and miminal improvements over its XBOX counterpart make this game mediocre at best. Expand

    The best part of this game was skirmish and now that they have removed it, it doesn't feel complete. worse than the PS2 version which was very good Expand
