Nintendo PowerIt's also unfortunate that there's no multiplayer of any sort, which definitely hurts the game's longevity. [Dec 2008, p.98]
-
Official Nintendo Magazine UKImprecise motion controls and muddy visuals. [Christmas 2008, p.99]
-
A frustrating package. There's a wealth of gameplay, across the two discs, but very little variety.
-
Congratulations, Wii owners! While Xbox 360, PS3, and PC owners are enjoying the latest chapter of Brothers in Arms in high definition, you get to relive the glory of the first two games in this buggy, ugly-as-hell port that eliminates the multiplayer and sabotages the single-player campaign with frequent stutters and framerate issues.

Nintendo GamerToo little, too late. A shameless, lazy cash-in on a venerable series, which ultimately feels totally pointless to play. [Feb 2009, p.70]
-
The sound effects and voice acting (though B-rated in and of itself) add a level of immersion to the game that, without it, would have been an utter failure. Even with them, though, the game only becomes passable.
-
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.
-
Axing every bit of multiplayer content -- not just the online modes -- from the original games is a baffling move on the part of the developers, considering that other Wii shooters have included both local and online multiplayer options.
-
Avoid this game like the plague.
-
Wii-makes walk a thin line already, but when a game can't iron out even the most blatant bugs (three second freezes occurring constantly in general play?), it's obvious that it's more about making a few quick stacks of cash than putting any real effort into a package.
-
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.
