Just like the first game in the series. More levels and another side of the D-Day story. Great game just like the first. I wish they would make an HD remake of this game.

I finished this game 6 years ago on DVD version but i only paid for it on steam to be able to post a review because this game worths it.

Gameplay Review = check my road to hill 30 review (both have same gameplay)

Story Review (No spoiler):

first of all brothers in arms is something like metal gear solid and you should play them in order to understand the story otherwise you understand NOTHING at all about the game. watching on youtube + reading on wiki and things like that wont help you have to play it yourself to find out what is going on. the order is:

1. Road to hill 30
2. Earned in blood
3. Hell's highway

there is no spoiler for you here but you need to know one thing about the story, brothers in arms starts like a normal world war II story, you play as a man called Matthew Baker the squad leader of 13 soldiers, 13 fathers, 13 sons, 13 families.... 13 is not a lucky number! in Road to hill 30 you start the game some where near france after parachuting from your shut down airplane and then after a few missions 2 of your squad members die mysteriously and then story focuses on this question "how they died?", there is another member in your team called Joseph Hartsock, the squad leader of the 2nd squad in road to hill 30, in the first BiA you do not see this squad you only hear about them and see them in cutscenes but there are in no missions. in fact they are in same mission area as you are but they are operating in differnet part of the map which you only hear about in cutscenes of road to hill 30.

In Earned in blood you play as Joseph Hartsock the second squad leader and you play almost all missions from Road to hill 30 but in the eyes of Joseph Hartsock, he tells you a secret story of what really happened back in road to hill 30 however the question about how your two squad members died back in Road to hill 30 still remains unanswered. this question will be answered in Hell's Highway, and prepare some tissues because that game will make you cry and makes you extremely emotional.

In comparison with the original Brothers In Arms: Road to hill 30, Earned In Blood made some serious changes that elevated the game to a much higher level while still keeping it's traditional strong points: command system remains the same so you don't have to learn or adapt anything new, while new weapons were added, which offered players a variety of choices. In my opinion, however, the most significant thing we can recognize in EIB is AI: enemies now are a lot smarter, and they also increase in number. All in all, I barely have anything to complain about Brothers In Arms: Earned In Blood.

浴血奋战讲的是诺曼底登录后，美军在法莱斯包围德军主力的故事，主角会扮演前座主角的好朋友RED,带领自己的小队完成这期间一系列作战任务，最后小队艰难存活。

After having played trough Brothers in Arms: Road to Hill 30 and Earned in Blood I can say: These (3) games have a solid way of telling you what happened with the 101st Airborne squad. This game shows you the scenario's from Road to Hill 30 trough the eyes of Joe "Red" Hartsock. The game play is absolutely amazing and the immersion is phenomenal.

The enemies and the objectives in Earned in Blood are slightly better and harder, I really recommend playing this game on "normal" or harder difficulty to really get the developer intended experience especially the tactical game play.

If you have the time you should definitely play the games from the Brothers in Arms franchise. (9/10)

PS: For people with field of view problems this is adjustable in the "user.ini" file located in the game directory.

I just liked the realism of the campaigns. The creators built the actual battles, using the real architecture of the campaigns, and also show you now and then - in the towns where this happened. I would love to see BIA again with today technology. Would you not???

An amazing WW2 shooter, combines some rts element, ( sort of ) and the graphics par with the "middle ages" of pc gaming. i recomend it.

Great game. If you haven't played the first one then pick that one up first. This is a continuation of the story from the first one. I had originally picked this one up on disk and played it a ton. Even knowing all the fights it still took me over 6 hours to complete and I literally ran though it. Thie first one took me over 9 hours running at the same pace. This series really stands out from the rest for presentation and story. It just makes me sad that they don't make games like this anymore.

Earned in Blood, just like the other two Brothers in Arms games, has an amazing story.

The three games combined are simply the greatest WWII games out there. Call of Duty 2, of course, was amazing for the African campaign. But Gearbox hold the title for recreating very important battles in the Normandy region in France. I mean, if you've played the games, then maybe you've seen the extras where pictures show how much detail they put into recreating the villages in Northern France. It's very remarkable.

The story, you play as Joe Hartstock, Red, in this one. Maybe you remembered him in Road to Hill 30. Well, this game takes place alongside Road to Hill 30 as Joe is recounting his actions to SLAMarshall, a war documentarian, recording the actions of combat troops for the military. Throughout the story, Joe sees his friends get injured, change their attitude during the war, and some of them unfortunately die. But that's war.

The audio design is unreal. My dad walked by when I was playing and noted how realistic the sounds were for the rifles and panzers. The soundtrack, too, is amazing. Basically, I'm biased as hell as I already love WWII anything, but the strong character development, friendship, and tactical elements make the Brothers in Arms games some of my favorites.

9.0/10

Brothers in Arms: Earned in Blood, the second in the series that was released shortly after the first in the series Brothers in Arms: Road to Hill 30, It reminds me of the HBO Band of Brothers mini series that was first shown in 2001, and I reckon the show inspired these games.

I bought all three of the Brothers in Arms tiles as they were released between 2005 to 2008, then repurchased them on Steam shortly after I joined Steam. They are an excellent series of squad based games, well worth buying; especially now as they are less than £13 for the complete series, when not on sale. If you like squad based games like Tom Clancy's Advanced Warfighter 1 & 2 (sadly removed from Steam and Ubisoft)), the Conflict series or the two Full Spectrum Warrior titles, then this is definitely one to get, (if you haven't already).

Considering it is now an older title, the graphics still look pretty decent (using the Unreal Engine v2.0) and the game play mechanic is easy to pick up. You do have to consider tactics when playing this game, i.e. the placement of your two teams members to ensure you survive the conflicts. The game was an improvement on the first partly because the AI saw some improvements and the missions were not as scripted as the first game.

This is not a run and gun type of shooter. You can access a tactical map (Situational Awareness) that enables you to plan your squads moves, usually to flank by first using a fire team to distract (suppress) the Op'For' then, a team flanks the enemy. When most of the enemy have been dealt with you can command an assault, but you must make sure your fire team is suppressing fire from the renaming enemy before giving the assault command. Direct assaults on a well dug in position is not advises as the enemy AI is pretty accurate and will take down your team quickly.

It's been nine years since I last played this game, not because I'd had enough, but because I had too many games and just forgot about it. I've just watched Band of Brothers again, which inspired me to reinstall all three games.

After a short game play session I decided to post this, but will update it later once I've completed all the missions.
