Mac Gaming

If you took Call of Duty 1 or 2 and mixed it in a pot with Rainbox Six: Vegas, you’d have a pretty good idea of what Brothers in Arms: Hell’s Highway is like — a linear FPS with tactical, squad-based elements. I picked it up a few weeks back on GamersGate for $7.50 USD and I’ve gotten my money’s worth out of it, though it took longer to download than for me to play through.

My Settings

The Verdict

At 1280×800, the game plays at about 25-30 fps on my iMac, which is pretty decent. The game itself is ok — good, but not great. I’ve had fun with it, but it’s probably not a game I’ll ever return to the way I have with Fallout 3 or even Far Cry 2. However, if you can get it for a good price (i.e., $15 or less) and you’re a fan of WWII shooters, you could do worse than picking up Brothers in Arms: Hell’s Highway.
