A good game, but after having played the two previous entries in the series, I expected a bit more.

It's strange that with the third game in the series, the tactical aspect of the gameplay remained the same. The squad controls are still extremely basic with only the move and suppress commands. It's a shame they didn't do more here, since it would've helped the repetitive gameplay. On a positive note your squadmates are far less prone to dying compared to the previous games.

Most noticeable improvement over the previous games is the gunplay and the addition of a proper cover mechanic. The cover works similar Rainbow Six Vegas, which fits here really nicely. Also the insane weapon sway and inaccuracy is gone from the older games.

This series always got praise for its narrative, but unfortunately this one has the weakest one. There's an overreliance on an event from Road To Hill 30, but it doesn't really matter in the end. It also doesn't help that the new characters are quite boring and don't offer much to the overall narrative.

Hell's Highway is by no means a bad game and it's still worth experiencing the entire series.
