    It's also unfortunate that there's no multiplayer of any sort, which definitely hurts the game's longevity. [Dec 2008, p.98]

    A frustrating package. There's a wealth of gameplay, across the two discs, but very little variety.

    Double Time gives you double the frustration for half the price.

    On one hand, the core game itself is good, and the story presented here is something you don't expect in a game. On the other hand, the technical execution of the title is so poor that one is surprised that it can run at all.

    As if we haven’t seen enough WW2 shooters by now, Ubisoft chose to port these two decent shooters into one horrible compilation for the Wii.

    Brothers in Arms: Double Time contains two dated World War II games that have actually fared off worse in making the transition to the Wii. This is a compilation you will want to avoid.

Replay value is high, as you can take different routes in missions sometimes, and change difficulty. Shame theres no online, but I am not fussed too much after playing this.… Expand
