Brothers in Arms: Earned in Blood is a marked improvement over the original in almost all areas. It took almost everything that made the first BiA game great and made it better. Not only that but it also corrected some of the problems, although a few of them still persist albeit to a lesser degree. A sequel done right.
Pros: Mostly superb level design that allows the fantastic blend of FPS and strategy to truly shine, bigger and more complex levels, great sound effects and atmosphere, storytelling is infused into gameplay much more than in the first BiA, push for authenticity, great writing, visuals hold up pretty well, neat touches
Cons: Few of the sections are just annoying, grenades and hand trembling while being idle are still bad (although not as bad as in the first game), Hartsock's dialogue inbetween missions doesn't hit as hard as Baker's monologues, still no sprinting
