    One of my favorite World War Two video games on any system, if the couple of glitches were fixed it would be my favorite over Call of Duty on the PC. But for your home console, buy this great game and enjoy it. Hopefully they are working hard (after a vacation) on Brothers in Arms: Battle of the Bulge which is the last big fight the 101st was part of in World War 2.

    The game offers so much, from an engaging emotional story to showing the brutal face of war. Easily one of the best WWII based shooters.

    Great storytelling aside, Hell’s Highway is an utterly gripping and action-packed jaunt into the hellish frontlines that might not be executed as well as it should be but is still worthy of playing. Its glitches and somewhat unspectacular visuals actually keep this from being a brilliant game but it doesn’t hold it back from being fun either.

    While it’s not a rupture from the series roots, this is still an excellent experience, thanks to a thrilling story and a group of characters that can touch the player. The tactical nature of the gameplay is still a distinctive approach in the World War II genre. [Oct 2008]

    Flawed squad mechanics and a crutch-like suppression system undo the game's historical and voice-acting achievements.

    Few World War II video games are as gripping and brutal as Brothers in Arms: Hell's Highway.

    This might not be a game from hell, but it's no blessing of an experience either. Although it does history justice, gameplay isn't as kindly treated. Bad AI, flawed controls and an underwhelming presentation makes the overall experience a poor one. Add one haphazard online mode and you'll be hard pressed to find reasons for purchase here.

    Hello! Has no one who has rated this game watched the trailers? This game makes COD5 look like crap. The Ubidays trailer, come on, AMAZING! Hello! Has no one who has rated this game watched the trailers? This game makes COD5 look like crap. The Ubidays trailer, come on, AMAZING! The game is sweet and it's from Ubisoft, which is why the advertising and trailers are so good. Sure Assassin's Creed was a bit of a letdown but that's why they pushed this game and EndWar back, to make sure that they were perfect. There is nothing but greatness coming from this game.… Expand

    I was a bit worried about this game but I really do think there are a lot more good points than bad. I recommend this to anyone who likes FPS's.
