The game looks and feels amazing!! The graphics are most definately not ps2 standard, and finally a brothers in arms game with a real storyline that draws you into the game. This is a brilliant game, forcing you to think tactically you feel a real part of the game itself.
Very very bad graphics, bad gameplay, pretty much the same game they made on the ps2 about 3/4 years ago. Save your money, dont buy this one.
Can't believe yet another poor game for the PS3. Graphics are PS2 standard. The game is repetative. The on-line play is absolutely rubbish. Can't anyone re-create the graphics of MGS4 and COD4. Sick of seeing trash for this system!!!
Do not buy. Rent it for a giiggle.....
Having seen all of the trailers, screen shots and early previews, I waited patiently in excitement for months and months for Ubisoft to release 'Haze' only to be met with a hugely disappointing, un-playable and poorly constructed game. I waited in similar fashion for the release of Ubisoft's latest title 'Brothers in Arms: Hell's Highway' thinking lightning couldn't strike twice and surely they couldn't and wouldn't release another stinker of a game - unfortunately my worst fears came true!
Just like Haze, Hell's Highway enjoyed good pre-release press in magazines and on gaming websites. The trailers and screen shots looked excellent and I couldn't wait to get my hands on a copy. But just like Haze, this game is a major let down on so many fronts.
The graphics are an embarrassment to the PS3. Games like Metal Gear Solid 4 and Call of Duty 4 are an example of how good games of this genre can be when the power of the PS3 and HD next-gen graphics are used to their full potential. This game reminded me of Medal of Honor Frontline on the PS2, which back then was a great game but that was before next-gen and HD. A game released on the PS3 today should have amazing graphics and movie like visuals - not look like a game from five or six years ago on the PS2 which sadly is exactly what Hell's Highway does. Even the cut-scenes look old and dated with harsh lines and blocky textures. While the game features gory slow-motion explosions with flying body parts and a lot more blood than in most similar games, the graphics are poor and it's almost impossible to see into the distance so it's hard to take out your enemies from a far. Unless you have a weapon with a telescopic sight then you have to be pretty much on top of your enemies to engage them.
It's not just the graphics that let the game down - the controls aren't much to write home about either. They're slow and difficult to master as the creators of the game have given each individual action its own individual button on the joy-pad. There's just too much to remember so you're frantically hitting each button to select the right weapon or jump over a wall to find cover but by the time you try and do what you wanted - you've been killed and it's really frustrating. Other times you'll be pinned down and trying to reload your gun but because you hit the wrong button you'll throw a grenade by mistake or waste a magazines worth of bullets then a little later you'll need those bullets or your grenades but you've not got any because you've accidentally used them all up trying to do something else!
If you're a fan of WW2 first person shooters then stick to the Call of Duty and Medal of Honor series as they seem to be the benchmark for this type of game. Hell's Highway is an insult to the genre - avoid!
Great story but let down by many important factors e.g poor in game graphics which are important in this particular game for seeing things at a distance and working out your plan of action on saying that the In game cut scenes are very nice. The A.I is the worst I have scene in any game for some time e.g Characters will get stuck on fences,walls,e.t.c and sometimes they cant figure out how to jump over or go round an object resulting in either there death or another member of your teams .The game is also let down by the controls which can be difficult to master ( to many combinations of buttons to remember ) .I then had a shot at multiplayer which i think will need a patch or two or three or four.
To sum it up a great title let down by to many niggles which can hopefully be patched sometime soon.
A Call of Duty 4 beater it will never be
