Upgrading history

Brothers in Arms 3 does a fair job mapping traditional shooter controls to touchscreen. The left side of the screen controls movement, while the right aims and fires. Where you initially place your finger on the right also dictates if you fire automatically while aiming, or take your time to line up your shot before pulling the trigger.
Much of the game’s successes are thanks to its cover system. Once you are located near cover your soldier will automatically duck down, avoiding the hale of incoming fire. This safely allows you to take aim before you shoot rather than standing in harms way. It’s a tiny change, but as I hunkered down behind cover waiting for the perfect moment to shoot I did notice an enjoyably-different kind of tension from the usual gung-ho shooter.
Any special armaments you have collected, or context dependent actions that may be necessary, are accessed by means of onscreen icons. Weapons appear conveniently above your standard fire option, while other action icons hover over the relevant area. It’s a simple but effective way of layering in more functions, that works well especially well in more action packed moments. 

A clean, bitesized war

Each short stage of Brothers in Arms 3 keeps the action flowing. You move from villages to towns, and forests to castles, with the pace never letting up as you fight through the ever deepening German ranks.
While the constant changes ensure the action is visually interesting, it doesn't always look that impressive. Everything looks clean and detailed, but without the expected dirt of war creating a sterile feel.
It is a close thing, but I think the trade-off is fair - I would rather be constantly presented with lots of small new environments than a few intricately designed larger ones when playing on the go. If you settle down to an involved play session at home, however, you may start to notice the rapid shifts and clean look more acutely.
