Rated 7/10 on Playr last weekend. I’m not convinced it’ll fare as well as that when it faces ‘proper’ reviewers.

Review embargos right up until the release of the game is never a good sign…

The odds of this being amazing are 50/50 with so many other world war type games out I just don’t see it finding its feet.

Wtf is it with all those embargoes? If anything, the embargo stops me from buying first day. It’s not that people won’t notice your game is shit it no one tells them.

Having looked at the game play videos I would say 7/10 average.
The graphics were awful and game play looked no different than first two.
Shame really I was looking forward to this.
Still I may be wrong hopefully.

The gameplay videos all seemed to be on 360, which was a bit stupid, I thought. Why not use the PC version, where it’s going to all look a bit fluid and a stupidly good PC can be used to show it off?

Gamereactor gave it 6, 7, 7 and 7 (on scale 1-10) so it doesn’t look like the next big thing out there, nor a terrible game either.

I going for 70%. More of the same with shiny new graphics.

NG4 has giving it 9 out 10.
not bad. Heres a a snippet of review.
Once the fight is initiated, you will notice one of the smaller, yet more gruesome additions to Hell’s Highway. Landing a head shot, grenade throw, or direct hit with a Bazooka will trigger the Action Cam. This causes time to slow to a near-halt, where you’ll see any enemies who happen to be caught in your attack ripped apart limb by limb in slow motion. Legs, arms, torsos, and even heads will scatter throughout the battlefield and nothing could be more grisly. And as horrific as this sounds, it doesn’t happen so frequently that it seems out of place or overblown at all. War is downright dreadful, and this game does a fine job of treading the line between realistic and deplorable.
Collectively, this is the impression you inherit after playing a title like Brothers in Arms: Hell’s Highway. It’s both shocking and beautiful at the same time, much in the way that a program like Band of Brothers is. Sure, some of the backstory could’ve used a little more clarification, and the squad member AI fails to impress at times, but the intuitive new features thoroughly outweigh any negatives you may uncover while playing. Despite the tired subject matter, Hell’s Highway is the pinnacle of an impressive ongoing franchise, and is a collective tale of friendship and misfortune that does everyone involved proper justice.
We give Brothers in Arms: Hell’s Highway a 9/10
