Brothers in Arms Road to Hill 30 is a first person tactical shooter game, one of the first in it's class. If you've never played such a game, just imagine any first person shooter (ie Counter-Strike or Halo), with the added feature of commanding additional units. You are allowed control of other units and vehicles that can be used to set up cross and cover fire as you pin the enemy and advance up the battlefield to effectively flank enemy units. This game shares the same personalities as the TV show Band of Brothers, in that before each chapter, the main character has a short speech on how and what he is thinking at that moment in his life.

Personally, I enjoy this innovative new concept of commanding units. In a way, it is so much more realistic than just who has the best reflexes and control with point and shoot. Instead, Brothers in Arms allows you to set up units to crucial checkpoints. The main goal is to flank the enemy units, but at the same time not to get flanked yourself. Control of the game is surprisingly not complicated, though some of the visual aspects of which unit you are currently controlling is difficult to manage in the heat of battle. Overall, Brothers In Arms Road to Hill 30 is a great hit!
