 Suprised December 1, 2008
I have been an avid FPS fan since the days on Nova Logic's Delta Force. I have played pretty much all except the Brothers in Arm series.
I was not expecting much and maybe that added to my delight. This game has the tactical feel of Hidden and Dangerous and Ghost Recon. It feel plenty real. Graphics are beautiful. I keep calling my wife into the room to show her the scenery and dismembered bodies.
While not anywhere near as frantic as the COD games, this one has had me glued to the computer. If you run and gun here you will die quickly.
Runs fine on Vista. Nvidia 8600 something card.
This game is a great addition to the trilogy November 24, 2008
What can I say. real quick and sweet, this game is great. The game play is really good. The AI on both the controllable and computer controlled it really well done. I love the sounds that they have incorporated into the game. Having never shot any of the guns, I cant say for sure but they all sound very realistic. The humor is good. The story line does not disappoint either. I have not finished it yet but am close but so far, GREAT. Would highly recommend this game but would recommend playing the first two in order before this one so you get the full effect of the trilogy.
great game November 12, 2008
One of the best, if not the best, WWII fps ever. No issues with Win Vista, no crashes or glitches. Squad AI is better than before as there was no stupidly standing in front of cover and getting shot. Great game, I highly recommend............
 Great Game, satisfying tactical cover system, graphics are awesome, story is too long October 30, 2008

The good things are:
1. The new cover system, like Rainbow 6 Vegas and Gears of War, makes the combat much more real and enjoyable.
2. Ordering the team around is easy and fun.
3. Audio is immersive and haunting at times(hospital)
4. Story is an extension of the earlier games.
5. Environments are realistic and beautiful, especially the hospital and HH.
6. Tank sequences are satisfying and break up the FPS action.
7. The action camera is great, love to see the heads explode or the tank explosions.
The not so good things are:
1. Story is convoluted and relys on you remembering it from the first 2 games from years ago. Should have released this closer to the earlier versions so people would know what the story is!
2. Cannot skip through the long cutscenes the first time through, I tuned out.
3. Sometimes your AI is idiotic.
4. "Authentic" difficulty level is not that authentic, out of cover you'd still have iron sights.
5. No blind fire from cover.
I liked this game overall, it's enjoyable to play. Not the longest game but the replay is better since you can skip through the cutscenes and get to the action. Like I said the story is convoluted and hard to really get that intersted in, but if you're into it, you're probably a Band of Brothers junkie. I wish other conflicts would be covered in videogames though, WW1, Vietnam, Iran/Iraq, Russian conflicts including WW2 Eastern Front, Falklands War. WW2 is just so overdone and now we also have another CODWW2 coming out next month!

Good but could have been better October 23, 2008

I,like everyone else was waiting for this game and for the most part I've
enjoyed it. It was running well on my mid-range machine,E6600,ATI 3870,2
Gigs of memory The only gripes I have are not being able to go prone, crawl and no lean feature. I also find the A.I. a little suspect. There are times when the Germans will move from cover only to move back to the very spot they've just abandoned. Enough has been said about the cut scenes and story line. I treat the cut scenes like TV commercials.
The only problem I've had with the game was my fault. I decided to update
my video driver when I was 3/4 of the way through the game (can you say dumb a**?). Now I've got an ATI3duag.dll problem that is a bear to fix.
I'd say by this game,it could have been better but it is fun. Oh,and update your drivers before you run the game.
