There are a few moments of déjà vu here and there, and it's nice to see some of the connections to previous missions. The new game covers much of the same territory as the original, but you'll be seeing it all from Hartsock's perspective. This time around, you'll be taking charge of Joe "Red" Hartsock, the "other" sergeant from the original game. What this game accomplishes in terms of its historical authenticity and innovative tactical combat system is genuinely unlike any other video game you've ever played.īut let's talk about what's new. Rainbow Six, Ghost Recon, Full Spectrum Warrior and others each contain small components of Brothers in Arms, but none put them together in quite the same way. Still, the best argument against passing over Earned in Blood is that, discounting the original game, there really aren't any other games like it. The "been there, done that" quotient is pretty high in this game. Since the dust has barely settled form the first game's launch, some gamers may be inclined to pass on the new game. There are some new game modes, a new campaign and some impressive AI and texture improvements of course, but the content and gameplay still feel more like an update of the original Brothers in Arms than a full sequel. ![]() While Earned in Blood is a stand-alone game with a fifty dollar price tag, the changes it makes to the core game are more in line with what we'd expect from an expansion pack. ![]() Now I use the term "sequel" kind of loosely here. Now, barely over a year later, the team is back with a sequel, Brothers in Arms: Earned in Blood.
