I love having the option to sit back and command my teams to execute suppression and flanking maneuvers without firing a shot myself.
#BROTHERS IN ARMS ROAD TO HILL 30 LEGGETT SERIES#
The Brothers in Arms series has always stood out in this crowd. Sure, we’ve played several games where squad-mates tag along, but rarely have they been useful or effective. Those You Raise, and Those You Raise Hell With” What really got me was the closing cinematic where Baker sits down with an old comrade in what was the most sincere and touching moment I’ve witnessed in a game. By the end of it, his face is riddled with scares. Through the campaign Baker takes a beating, both emotionally and physically. One being what really happened to Allen and Garnet when they were put under command of Leggett. Hell’s Highway refers back to the original game in the series, Road to Hill 30 and reveals some of scenarios that were only touched on briefly. Through truly emotional cinematics, you watch as fallen squad-mates are mourned, civilians are slaughtered, and trust is broken. This third installment in the Brothers in Arms series packs a fantastic story that follows Baker and his squad through some horrific moments. With most war games placing you in the position of the victorious hero, I knew the campaign was going to play out differently as defeat was inevitable.
After-all, Operation Market Garden was anything but a glorious moment for the Allies. When I first learned of the story behind Hell’s Highway, I was more than intrigued. And while the genre has definitely been over-saturated, I’m always willing to make room for one more in my collection if it’s of the stature of the Brothers in Arms series. After all, it’s been years since a truly great WWII shooter has graced the market. I couldn’t have been more thrilled to reprise the role of Staff Sergeant Matt Baker of the 101st Airborne Division in Brothers in Arms: Hell’s Highway.
