I finally decided to dive into the Brothers in Arms trilogy - back when Ubisoft still dared to experiment and tried to compete with heavyweights like Call of Duty, Medal of Honor, and Battlefield. As a kid, I played the second installment, Earned in Blood, on the PS2. But somehow, I completely missed both the first and third entries. So going back to the roots felt like discovering something new. Brothers in Arms: Road to Hill 30 is a first-person tactical shooter based on real events of World War II. You play as Sergeant Matt Baker of the 101st Airborne Division, dropped behind enemy lines during the D-Day invasion of Normandy. What makes this game stand out is its tone and storytelling. It doesn’t go full Hollywood blockbuster like Call of Duty - it’s more grounded, raw, and human. Between missions, Baker reflects on his experiences, adding emotional weight and atmosphere. You can tell the developers aimed high, even if their tools and experience were still evolving. At the time, Gearbox Software wasn’t yet the studio we know today. Road to Hill 30 was their first major original project - up until then, they mostly worked on Half-Life expansions and ports. Later, they’d hit it big with Borderlands, but this game was their first bold move into creating something of their own. Gameplay-wise, this isn’t a run-and-gun shooter. If you’re used to storming enemy positions solo like in CoD - good luck. Even a handful of enemies behind cover will force you to stop and rethink your strategy. Combat revolves around positioning, suppression fire, and flanking. Your squad isn’t just for show - they’re crucial to survival. You’ll issue orders, lay down suppressive fire, and maneuver around enemy positions using teamwork. Weapons behave differently: the sniper rifle is precise, but most rifles and SMGs have realistic recoil and sway. Enemies react intelligently, shifting positions and trying to stay out of your line of fire. Compared to more complex tactical shooters, the mechanics here might feel basic. But they’re solid and satisfying, especially when combined with the strong narrative and pacing. In some missions, enemies respawn until you complete an objective (like planting charges), but in most cases, you’re clearing out finite enemy squads. Sure, it shows its age - it’s a 2005 title after all. Technically and visually, it's a product of its time. But its storytelling, balanced gameplay, and tone still hold up. Verdict: A solid 8 out of 10. A compelling, grounded take on WWII that deserves more recognition.

One of the best WW2 games I have ever played and what a hidden gem of a game. The mechanics and level design in this game is better than some modern day WW2 shooters. The atmosphere this game provides the player is fantastic. Explosions right next you leaving a ringing in your ear and bullets grazing you really shines well on immersing the player. Cant wait to dive into the sequels. 9/10

The amount of satisfaction I get from flanking and blasting Germans with a tommy gun and ordering my squad around in this old clunker series far exceeds whatever modern day Infinity Ward can do with the GDP of a small country or the streamerbait indie shooter of the week. Play this and Earned in Blood with Rendroc's WarZone mod for best experience. Where is Brothers in Arms 4? Where are the tactical single player shooters? Why does it hurt to stare at the sun?

This is such a good example of a game that doesn't overstay its welcome. It's short, sweet and has a great story based on real events, which is rare for FPS games. The characters actually have personality and you will find yourself caring about them even though they mostly only interact with each other for a few moments at the beginning and end of missions. This game holds up really well, is realistic and requires a bit of planning; you can't just spray n' pray. The selection of weapons is nice, the enemies aren't bullet sponges and I didn't experience any crashes. All in all, it was a great experience and I wish companies would make more games like this and not solely focus on creating soulless lackluster live service games. I recommend this classic.

Brothers In Arms specially road to hill 30 will always hold a special place in my heart. This was my favourite game when I first got my PS 2 as a child, but now as an adult replaying this games reminds me of the good old days. It did not have the best graphics and game play but as you play through and learn more about the story it really makes you feel and care for the characters. The fact that this game is based on true to life story makes it truly worth playing. I hope UBISOFT stops making dog crap games and do more games like the Brothers in Arms series. Hill 30 and hell's highway are both great games, Earned in blood was okay but still loved it!
