Ubisoft reveals an August release for the long-delayed World War II squad shooter...

It's been a long, long time in coming, but it seems that fans of the Brothers in Arms series will getting their next dose of the World War II squad shooter in the middle of the summer.

Due to hit Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC nearly two years(!) after it was first intended to hit the consoles, Brothers in Arms: Hell's Highway has finally been confirmed for an August 2008 release by publisher, Ubisoft. The game remains in development at Gearbox Software, which is also busying itself with a few other high-profile titles, including Aliens: Colonial Marines for SEGA, and Borderlands for 2K Games.

Set during the ambitious, but ultimately doomed, Operation Market Garden in September 1944, Hell's Highway follows Sgt. Matt Baker, Sgt. Joe Hardsock, and the rest of the 101st Airborne, as they set about clearing a path for the Allies in German-held Holland.

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!!!
	By: Anonymous Coward Added:Fri 10th Oct 2008 01:15, Post No: 21 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.

	By: Anonymous Coward Added:Wed 01st Oct 2008 11:41, Post No: 19 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.

	By: Anonymous Coward Added:Tue 30th Sep 2008 18:40, Post No: 17 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.
	By: Anonymous Coward Added:Tue 30th Sep 2008 03:03, Post No: 16 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!

	By: Anonymous Coward Added:Mon 29th Sep 2008 14:04, Post No: 14 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.
