    Brothers in Arms: Earned in Blood is great value for money but shows it age graphically. The enemy AI has been significantly improved but the story telling and mission objectives are lacking in parts. If you were disappointed by the multiplayer options of the original game you should be more than satisfied with the bolstered options on offer in Earned in Blood. Read more

    • still more realistic than others in the genre, amazing sound effects, improved multi-player options, budget price
    • lacklustre story telling techniques, graphics now look a bit dated, sporadic lapses in realism, short single-player campaign

    Arriving only six months after the first Brothers In Arms, Earned In Blood sets a new record for the swiftest sequel in gaming history. But while the adventure boasts the beautiful presentation and punchy action that made the first game an international hit, EIB’s speedy arrival means it’s virtually identical to its illustrious predecessor.

    World War II shooters are becoming an extremely flooded genre in gaming, and the push is constantly on for developers to innovative, rather than recycle ideas. When Brothers in Arms: Road to Hill 30 came out earlier this year it was acclaimed for being a serious shooter with a unique twist, you were able to take control of an entire team and command the team in just about any way you like.

    I enjoyed playing Brothers in Arms. It has a lot going for it and the only thing that put me off a bit is the difficulty and steep learning curve. I recommend you rent it first to see if this game is for you. A unique game that puts a big emphasis on teamwork and effectively portrays the soldiers as real human beings who suffer pain and death and miss their families back home. Brothers supports online multiplayer and offline split screen mode. Read more

  • Manufacturer's Description

Brothers in Arms: Earned in Blood offers a rather similar experience to its excellent predecessor, with improved enemy artificial intelligence and additional multiplayer options. The novelty has worn off just a bit, though.
