Brothers in Arms: Hell’s Highway for the PS3 Game Review

FPS fans have an avenue to release their hot bloodedness. So do WW2 fans. And you don’t have to do two things. All you have to do is get a copy of Brothers in Arms: Hells Highway. This interesting take on World War 2 battle is also very different in that the makers vouch for it’s historical accuracy. The game glamorizes the war while honoring the veterans.

If you shoot a German in the head in this game, here is how the incredible graphics are likely to pan out. As you fire, the camera moves from the shooters viewpoint to a third persons viewpoint. Then the scene slows down as you see every little detail of the scene. If you are witness to grenade damage on level 2 then you will see the scene with every little gory detail intact.

The cinematics are brilliant and if you are worried about the cover based combat system of the game and it’s steep learning curve, do not fear, the tutorial mission lets you smoothly go into the heat of the battle. The cover in the game is destructible, and you know when you are in trouble when the screen goes red.

The theme of the game goes adult as far as the verbiage goes now and then. Impressive graphics, and detailed character models add on to make the game visually impressive. Get set to rock the World in War with Brothers in Arms: Hells Highway at $56.99.

Mercenaries 2: World in Flames For The PS3 Game Review

If slam bang boom violence is your thing then you will like Mercenaries 2. If it isn’t you won’t. You can cause tremendous destruction with dozens of unique vehicles. There are a number of attacks and a huge open space to do the stuff. However there are also game crippling bugs, really bad AI and gunplay that is unsatisfying. In addition a lousy story and repetitiveness plague this game.

Although you may enjoy the senseless violence a bit and online co-op play is fun, overall this is not a game that comes highly recommended. You can choose to be one of three mercenaries. The game is about a quest for vengeance. All this poor dude did was hire you and not pay. This one is a third person shooter.

You will enjoy the first few contracts and will like the mechanics as long as they are fresh. After the first hour you will find the weapons week and the damage done inconsistent. The storyline is tedious and uninspiring. If you want to enjoy this game the only way is co-op online play. With inconsistent visuals and the bugs and glitches earlier mentioned this is not the best way to spend Sunday afternoon.

There are many better open world action games and mindless destruction can only be enjoyable upto a point. This game is unfinished in the callousness of its make and I advise you spend your money elsewhere.
