Grenades are great for taking out multiple enemies at once, clearing minefields, or demolishing buildings, as necessary. You can pick up tank-busting bazookas and antipersonnel flamethrowers along the way, although you only get a few uses of each. Your guns will auto-aim if you're facing the right direction, but you have to take care not to run out of ammo at an inopportune moment. While on foot, you can move in eight directions, shoot people, lob grenades, and take over gun emplacements or tanks. This game's controls are about as simple as they get. Gameloft's done a marvelous job of capturing the chaos of the moment-bullet tracers are streaming from the top of the screen, artillery is pounding the beach, and your fellow grunts are dying all around you.
The most interesting level we played during our preview was probably the reenactment of the Normandy landing. For instance, on one level, you'll be asked to provide cover for a medic carrying a wounded comrade, and on another, you'll have to hijack a German tank and blow up an entire camp. Each level has a different objective to satisfy. You control an individual soldier who has to run a gauntlet of German soldiers, all the while confined in tight, mazelike corridors of trenches, streets, and sandbags. This game plays almost like an overhead Metal Slug.įor the mobile version, Brothers in Arms: Earned in Blood is making a smooth transition from a first-person shooter to a third-person overhead action game. Gameloft's got the mobile rights to Earned in Blood (as they do for all Ubisoft properties), and it looks like they're doing a bang-up job of bringing the game to phones.

That has been the driving idea behind Ubisoft's Brothers in Arms series of first-person shooters, and a new sequel-Brothers in Arms: Earned in Blood-is anticipated for October. However, despite the war's grand historical scope, the average grunt could only see what was happening right in front of him he fought not for political reasons, but to keep his friends alive. The 20th century's biggest conflict was also its deadliest by far, due to the advent of motorized warfare, strategic bombing, and atomic weapons. If you think the world's a mess these days, studying World War II will make you feel a lot better.
