...they involved. I especially loved Brothers in Arms Road to Hill 30, therefore when I finally got my hands on Brothers in Arms Hell's Highway; I was drooling at the mouth ready to play.
Like its predecessors, Hells Highway shows the horrific times of American soldiers during the Second World War however, a problem I had when first playing the game was that unlike where the other games made me care about my teammates, Hells Highway doesn't.

brothers in arms hells highway is a fantastic second world war based shooter.

the gameplay itslef is very good the controls are are simple to master, the graphics ... ...playing through brothers in arms hells highway and found the single player fun with loads of action.
there are plenty of authentic ww2 weapons in the game from the bar to the stg 44, pistols and sniper rifles too.
there are the usual online modes such as capture the flag, overall a great game with lots of hours of play. ...
