Filtered Thoughts:
I haven't played Brothers in Arms: Double Time, and actually I haven't played any of the games from the Brothers in Arms franchise. It's probably one of the few war games franchises I haven't played.
When I read the game had 31 levels in it, I was very surprised by the number of levels...that's because before doing this report, I didn't know Brothers in Arms: Double Time was a compilation of two games from the Brothers in Arms series.
Brothers in Arms: Double Time is a compilation of the Road to Hill 30 and Earned in Blood games from the Brothers in Arms series.
As for the reported game-play data, I'm surprised to see the average play-time "Per person" is only 8 Hours 26 Minutes. If the reported hours "Per person" is reflective of the game's completion time, that means the 31 levels average just more than 16 minutes each, which I would think makes the game have a more arcade feel for the mission structure.
Knowing that Brothers in Arms: Double Time is really two games in one, actually made me interested in it. Also, considering the game has seen a MSRP drop since it released, and can be purchased for $29.99 or less, is a plus I think.
Questions:
Have any of you played Brothers in Arms: Double Time on the Wii? If so, did the game's levels/missions have a more arcade feel to them, compared to other FPS games where the missions are perhaps longer?

The game does not have an arcade feel. its very slow paced especially compared to call of duty. Obviously little to no one on that report actually finished the game. it's not an easy its very difficult

ReplyDeleteDo you know about how many hours it would take to complete both games in Brothers in Arms: Double Time?
Thanks for the feedback!
For someone like me who isn't too savy with the game i'd say maybe about 30 hrs...someone who understands the strategy of the game better i'd say 20 hrs. Keep in mind that's per a game.
ReplyDelete@Jason:
ReplyDeleteSo, probably between 40-60 hours to complete the entire "game" on the Wii?
It lacks the arcade feel to it and is a difficult game to play.
ReplyDeleteI remember seeing some first screen shots for this port to Wii and they were really technically good looking. It didn't seem like they ever put out more press-releases for the game after that.
ReplyDeleteI seem to remember reading a review which implied that it neither looked as good as those first screen-shots (so likely from an a different version of the game, and I honestly my only interest in the game) nor was it a very fun game. My interest wasn't high in the first place, but it still managed to drop. I don't know much else about the game, though.
