 A WWII shooter on the DS arrives with decent at best results June 30, 2007
8 out of 8 found this review helpful
Brothers in Arms makes it's way to the DS with the aptly titled Brothers in Arms DS, which finds the long running first person shooter set in World War II getting shrunk down and scaled back to accomodate the dual screens of Nintendo's handheld. The first thing you'll notice about Brothers in Arms DS is that the game features some pretty good graphics for a DS game that really push the hardware to a new limit. After that though, it's mostly downhill though considering everything that needed to be changed around in order for the game to appear on the DS. The style has changed from an FPS to a third person shooter that utilizes a "duck & cover" technique that actually works well. What really hurts the game however are the bad camera angles, annoying pop up enemies, and the control scheme which utilizes the directional pad, shoulder button, and touch screen as well. The controls are by far the game's biggest flaw, as you may in fact get used to them, but in the heat of battle, will be swearing on a consistent basis thanks to them. Four player multiplayer is included as well, and is really where the bulk of the fun is to be had here. Brothers in Arms DS isn't too challenging, and it's over before you know it as well, but it's not a bad game either by any stretch of the imagination. That being said, if you like WWII shooters and/or the Brothers in Arms series, and desire something on the go and you own a DS, Brothers in Arms DS is really the only choice there is at the moment.

I had high hopes for this game, but the controls are awkward, such as lining up and aiming before you get shot!! It seems the DS is more suited to role playng and puzzle games
