There was something honest about his voice, and the way the game flashed back to his interview in between each scene of the game to get his personally voiced outlook on the situation was very compelling. I found Hartsock, the lead of the second game, to be much better as a protagonist. I really fell into the story and felt every little bit of feeling tied to it.
Now, with Earned in Blood, the second of the series, it was a totally different experience for me. I wasn’t all that impressed with the experience as a whole, but I still found the concept very fascinating. I barely remember anything about Baker’s (the main character’s) story in that one, I just remember that it ended with Baker leading the two tanks onto the Hill as a finale. In the end, I didn’t care too much for Road to Hill 30 because of its unshakably dry nature, and the combat situations were not all that varied. I’d say that’s a much more interesting tribute to the soldiers of WWII, and more accurate. And the soldiers you command are a lot less likely to die than in other games (unless you lead them straight into fire, of course), and when they do get injured, it feels especially heart-wrenching because you can draw back on experiences of conversing with them and getting to know them. In the end, combat has little to do with aiming your weapon as the more important thing is to position your squad to a place where the enemy is exposed. Combat situations present a manditory use of flanking, suppression fire, and squad positioning. In Brothers in Arms, there is a focus on strategy as if it were a RTS, but in first person. There’s an emphasis on dialogue and interpersonal mingling to establish friendships and comfortable feelings, making the battle scenes all the more meaningful – the same route Band of Brothers took.Īlong with that, the combat system is drastically different the normal Call of Duty point, shoot, charge, and throw grenades sort of gameplay.

Starting with The Road to Hill 30, the Brothers in Arms series establishes a very personal look at the main character and at the characters surrounding him. And that’s the whole point of my Battle Europe! series of posts – to examine soldier portrayals historically and emotionally accurate to the greatest war. But, if I imagine the series as a standalone I idea, I think they are majorly cool mainly because they offer the most realistic soldier’s vantage point I’ve ever experienced in a video game.
