Late August release for the long-delayed squad shooter; Sgt. Matt Baker and Sgt. Hartsock ready to tread Hell's Highway...

It's been a long, long time in coming, but it seems that the walk towards Hell's Highway is nearly upon us. Ubisoft has today confirmed that the World War II squad-shooter will be heading to Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC across North America from August 26th.

A release date for Brothers in Arms: Hell's Highway in the UK and Europe is yet to be confirmed, but let's hope that it'll be upon us the following Friday (August 29th).

Developed by Gearbox Software, which is currently working away on several other shooters including Aliens: Colonial Marines for SEGA and Borderlands for 2K Games, Hell's Highway has had something of a difficult development cycle. Originally pencilled in for launch for the end of 2006, the third part in the Brothers in Arms series has suffered from a series of delays, with several rough dates set throughout 2007 and 2008.

The game, created with Epic Games' Unreal Engine 3, is set around the events of Operation Market Garden, the most ambitious mission of World War II. Taking place between September 17th and September 25th 1944, the operation's aim was to capture strategic positions for the Allies in the hope of ending the war early.

I agree with the comments about the gore, do you remember Soliders Of Fortune 2, that was a game where the gore just went too far and didnt help the game at all.

For me I was really let down by this game, was expecting so much but felt very dissapointed. And for the AI on loads of occasions you could be right next to the enmey soliders - visably to them and they wouldnt react, crazy!!!

This review really seems to be nitpicking things for no reason. Too much gore? Then don't play a bloody war game for gosh sakes. I actually think a lot of modern videogames are overly gory for gore's sake, but in this case they are just being authentic to history. Maybe if more people realized what war was really like, the world's politicians wouldn't keep starting them all the time.

It's comming out on pc, and don't buy a 360 because I did and regret it. I bought the 360 because I was sick of upgrading my pc and after 1 year of 360 online play i discovered I was missing out on heaps on pc so bought a super dooper pc and never went back.

I thinks the game is excellent, the AI is very good and the slow motion head shots and explosions are great at least 8 or 9 out of 10

This is a terrible review... you hardly mention any of the game's strong points, which massively outweigh any negatives. This is a triple A game with a few minor issues. As far as the gore system, while I agree that the action camera is a bit over the top (I turned it off, along with enemy icons, crosshair, and the red danger zone), do not call it disrespectful. The moments of gore are not that common anyway, and the whole point of this game is to be as authentic as possible.

Hmm, I never came across scripted enemies where I had to trigger AI life into them. Maybe if the review listed examples? I disagree with any bad point said in this review, it's an utterly amazing game for any shooter/squad war action fan. Must-have. "Baptism on Fire" is crazy!

I agree with the previous comment, this game deserves at least an eight overall. though the the plot may be confusing to newcomers to the series the game makes up for it by improving every other section of the game to make it, in my opinion, the best in the series.
