Brothers in Arms (DS)

I'll freely and openly state that I'm not much a fan of war games. Sure, I'll play a title like Fire Emblem, which is completely fantastical, or Advance Wars, which stresses the strategy of war while not actually featuring a real war. But as soon as we get into World War II games, I start to shy away. It's hard to have fun playing a game about an event that killed millions of innocent young men -- for me, anyway. Yet, when Brothers in Arms DS was released, I confess I was a bit intrigued. It received overall good reviews, and I longed for a quality shooter on the DS. So, I picked it up.

The graphics are very realistic and being in 3D, with a constant frame rate adds to the gaming experience. The general background sometimes looks a bit blocky ...  Read the complete review

Brothers in arms is an absolutely fantastic game to play on the Nintendo DS and unlike the game Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix the graphics are amazingly good. I am a big fan of war games such as Medal of Honour, Call of Duty and Brothers in arms. Brothers in arms was the first war/shooter game i had purchased for my Nintendo DS and i was definately damn well impressed. The deaths look real, the explosions sound cool and it's fun when you get to drive a car and a tank. Up's - superb graphics : the Nintendo DS in my opinion has notoriously bad graphics when playing certain games such as Harry Potter. So when i inserted the game into my ...  Read the complete review
