I wouldn’t say that the system is buggy, but it’s far from perfect. This plays fairly well, but the quirks of the system take some time to get used to as the transition to the Wii is not very fluid. Gamers who’ve played games like Battalion Wars 2 will feel right at home. All you have to do is switch to your intended unit, hold the A button and use the IR pointer to send commands to your team for attacking, movement, and suppressive fire. The strategic control comes early on with the ability to command your riflemen and your cavalry units separately. You are the commander of a small squad of varied troops, and live or die by the orders you give them. The attention that the developers give towards keeping the game historically accurate, with photographs and extra information on the real people from this squad, is a nice touch, and makes the game seem that much more special to a history major such as myself.įor those that have not played a Brothers in Arms game, both games are modified squad based first-person shooters with a huge emphasis on tactics. It was nice to play a D-Day campaign in a game that wasn’t related to the Beach invasion that has been played out in many games and movies.
The player takes the role of Sergeant Matthew Baker, a paratrooper who is made to command a ragtag group of soldiers during the D-day invasion in Road to Hill 30, and one of his unit members in Earned in Blood. The game is based on the historical Mission Albany, in which the player has to complete true to life missions of the 101st. I knew I wasn’t in for graphical euphoria due to this, but I was unprepared for the rushed product that I actually got.ĭouble Time is based on the true story of the 502nd Parachute Infantry Regiment of the famed 101st Airborne Division, who were dropped behind German Lines on D-Day.
Both games are ports of the somewhat lackluster Playstation 2 versions that came out in 2005. Double Time is a compilation of two other Brothers in Arms games – Road to Hill 30 and Earned in Blood.
#Wii brothers in arms earned in blood ps2
The game was Brothers in Arms: Double Time, and I was looking forward to seeing what the motion controls could add to a pretty decent game from the PS2 /X-Box. The Wii surprisingly had some really good shooters this is not one of them.,Īfter playing most of the shooters currently available on the Wii, I realized that I had overlooked one title in particular.
