CRITICS CORNER:
90Official Xbox Magazine
The successes massively outweight the mistakes here - which, strangely enough, is exactly how we'd describe Matt Baker, the game's troubled hero. [Nov 2008, p.62]
90Gameplayer
Intuitive team controls, fantastic presentation, superb sound and impressive visuals (particularly the paratrooper models) make Hell's Highway far better than we ever would have guessed. That said, it's going to be divisive for all manner of reasons.
87Talk Xbox
There are plenty of battles to fight through, collectibles to discover, and techniques to perfect in Hell's Highway, and I fully recommend purchasing.

Brothers in Arms returns with its third episode, and it does it demonstrating its healthy status in its debut in Xbox 360. Despite not having many differences with the previous games, this is an exciting and intense game; a title that could have turned into the best one of the saga if it was a little bit more polished. Even so this is a totally recommendable title for shooter fans, because of its treatment of the war with the respect and the depth that it deserves.
85GameSpot
The beautiful landscapes complement the gritty combat, and thoughtful cinematic techniques breathe life into the engaging characters. Despite the somewhat spotty story and sundry oddities, Hell's Highway is a game you should consider playing twice.
82GameZone
Great storytelling aside, Hell's Highway is an utterly gripping and action-packed jaunt into the hellish frontlines that might not be executed as well as it should be but is still worthy of playing. Its glitches and somewhat unspectacular visuals actually keep this from being a brilliant game but it doesn't hold it back from being fun either.
81Team Xbox
It's more story-driven and -focused, which might not be as satisfying or challenging for hard-core gamers looking for constant, fast-paced actionand if you don't like that kind of game, it's a good bet you won't like the next BiA that's surely coming.
80VideoGamer
Bar the jarring Action Camera, there's not a lot wrong with Hell's Highway. Rather, there's a lot good with it. It's an intelligent game made by adults for adults.
80Official Xbox Magazine UK
Replay value is immense too, thanks to open tactics, large maps and good Xbox Live modes including Co-op.
80GameSpy
While there are some definite issues, the single-player game is a lot of fun and the story is engaging (though it could be a bit confusing to new players). Unfortunately, we were a bit let down by the multiplayer, which wasn't as good as it was in the previous games.
80MS Xbox World
If you like story driven shooters with a tactical edge then I'd say this game is well worth a look in, however if you are after a long experience that you'll savour for years to come, then I doubt this game is going to offer you that.
80Gamervision
Brothers in Arms continues the tradition of bringing realistic warfare combat to gaming, honoring the war without sugar coating the truth.
80Thunderbolt
While it lacks the graphical finesse and multiplayer modes of its peers, Brothers in Arms: Hell's Highway outshines them with a brutally honest portrayal of war and one that you won't forget.
79Xbox World 360 Magazine UK
Even the most hardened Brothers In Arms fanboys out there will more than likely get the feeling that this belated entry should have strived for so much more than this.
78Game Informer
A competent tactical shooter blessed with a dedication to narrative rarely seen in shooters. If Gearbox can build off this success with more inventive gameplay, the series has a chance of overcoming the boredom that curses so many WWII titles.
76IGN
While many of the franchise's traditional gameplay elements return, such as the tactical controls of squads, so do the issues associated with those controls. Tie in some questionable visuals and AI issues, and you have a title that's good, but not great.
70Kikizo
A diverting tactical shooter curbed by ageing design principles, flawed story-telling and run-of-the-mill tech. Easily the best Brothers in Arms title so far, but after three years in development we were expecting something more evolutionary.
70EuroGamer
Hell's Highway represents little more than a solid evolution of the original, as opposed to being a game which takes strategic World War II gaming to dizzy new heights. With an engaging but ultimately repetitive play mechanic at its core, it's a game which deserves a decent amount of respect, but whose charms wane rather than grow as the game progresses.
70IGN AU
It doesn't do what it says on the tin, doesn't break any barriers and is mildly dull as often as interesting but when you're in the middle of crossfires, your squads do what they're told and you know that you're about to blow up a whole mess of Nazis, it's pretty good.
671UP
The problem is that Hell's Highway doesn't make me care about the characters as much as the other installments did.
60X360 Magazine UK
Sadly, Brothers In Arms: Hell's Highway looks destined to become yet another also-ran in the great yuletide arms race of 2008. It may hold your attention for a while but don't get your hopes up.
60Total Video Games
We've been waiting two years longer than we expected for Hell's Highway and the wait has bought little reward.
60G4 TV
The game is an intense shooting gallery, despite the repetition, yet the set-up, landscape, and gameplay feel so familiar at this point that it borders on boring.
