Manufacturer's Description
1944 St. Saveur, D-Day +10
I've been out of Baker's shadow for no more than three days now and already I'm feeling the weight of my fear. The fear that around every corner somebody's lying in wait. The fear that any wrong choice could end up killing what I'm trying to save. Sgt Joe Red Hartsock - 101st Airborne

Single Player
Delve deeper into the most authentic WWII experience as you take the role of Sgt. Joe Red Hartsock, the new squad leader of 2nd Squad. You represent the best of the 101st Airborne, the Screaming Eagles. Lead your squad of American Paratroopers, and command your assault team and fire team through war-toen France's urban streets and villages. On the verge of liberating vital villages in Normandy, your mission will take you deep behind enemy lines to accomplish missions more dangerous than before.
As squad leader, you will control your team with a powerful and easy to use one-button command system. Suppress the enemy with a barrage of gunfire with your fire team, while you and your assault team move in for the kill.

Multiplayer
Assume the role of squad leader and command your assault and fire teams and go head-head in objective based multiplayer missions. Fight for freedom as the Allied forces, or fight for WWII dominance as the Germans.

Customer Reviews

Excellent
never write reviews on products I buy over the interweb but this game is GREAT!!!! I played Road to Hill 30 and was gripped by the first few levels, without the intros in the game it wouldnt have the same effect,

The gameplay is great leading yet another bad ass squad through battle runied Normany during WWII, with enemies that are more intellgent it's harder than the 1st game!! Use as mush cover as possilbe when need be and flank when you can.

Intense gameplay and amazing grpahics this is a deffinate must have if you want to know the movements of the rest of Bakers Squad!!! It's a complete follow on it links to WWII extremelly well, just wait till Hells Highway is out, thats going to be even better!!

Operation Market Garden as seen in the film Band Of Brothers a mission that went horribly wrong, but none the less all Brothers In Arms games are a must have

Good
This game is great from the point of view of WW2 1st person shooters. Better than COD1+2 and MOH Frontline. Not a great jump from Hill 30. Maybe they should have waited a year to make it as it was only out 6 or 7 months after Hill 30 amazing instead of it just being very good. By the way the main character "Red" Hartsock(Red for obvious reasons)rules. Can't wait for Hell's Highway for PS3

Great on XP - Doesn't work on Vista
Had the game for my XP machine before I upgrading to Vista. Game was brilliant. The use of squad tactics puts a different slant on your basic WWII shooter. Problem is, it doesn't work on Vista. You'd probably be able to find a work-around on the web, but you want a game to work straight out of the box. If you've got Vista wait to see how Brother's in Arms: Hell's Highway turns out May/June. If you run XP on your machine, get it and enjoy.
