I've never played any of the Brother in Arms games, because WW2 shooters never really appealed to me (both gameplay-wise and the superficial portrayal). Today however I tried out the Hell's Highway demo from PSN, with no great expectations, but coming from the guys who made the best Expansion pack of all times (Opposing Force for Half-Life), and the same people who are also responsible for the upcoming Alien Colonial Marines, I thought I should give it a shot.
Well, I was really positively surprised. There's no wild and brainless shooting, rather it plays very slow and tactical, with the main goal to always advance your squad into certain positions and trying to outflank the enemy. Sounds simple (and it was in the demo, actually), but I see there's some potential in that mechanic. I also kinda liked the presentation of the characters, and the overall feel of the game.
So, anyone already played the full version and can give some impressions? I seriously lean toward picking it up next week.
