If you’re a fan of combat games you’ll really enjoy this gem. Gameloft has done an exceptional job with the second Brothers In Arms release and continues to push gaming on the iDevices to new levels. The sensitivity can be adjusted and there are a few optional layouts for the controls but the default set up works really well. To look around and aim you just drag a finger on screen. There’s a virtual joy-stick for movement, a jump and fire button as well as some contextual buttons that pop up for taking cover or entering vehicles. The control scheme reflects the lessons Gameloft learned while making its other shooter games. On my 3GS, frame rates were consistent and I didn’t notice any slowdown or lag. You really get a sense of the urgency and chaos that embodied the battlefields of WWII. For instance, when a grenade blows up dirt and debris fly into the air and come raining down everywhere. The game also has subtle details that really impress-the sounds and animations of explosions in particular are nice details.

All the locations are beautifully rendered with rays of light streaming down from the treetops and detailed textures everywhere. Visually, Brothers in Arms 2 raises the bar for gaming on the iPhone with great graphics and animations. There are also turrets to operate as well as jeeps, tanks and even a glider to take control of. Your arsenal is pretty impressive as well: you’ve got machine guns, sniper rifles, bazookas and even flame throwers at your disposal. Even though it has a open world feel to it, game progression is very linear with directional indicators prodding you in the right direction the whole way. Brothers In Arms 2 has an aim assist feature that helps the cross-hairs stick to the enemy while you’re moving around. Getting to good cover through a hail of bullets requires some fancy footwork but luckily you can sprint with the tap of a button. When you come close to the end of a wall or a tank you can put your back up to it and peek around the corner to shoot at your enemies. When approching a log, box or other object, a button appears that will allow you to take cover. Brothers In Arms 2 has a cool cover and fire system.
