The game can look downright pretty at times, and at others, muddy and unimpressive. And finally, the game's visuals are very mixed bag.

It would have been nice to see enemies react appropriately to adverse situations like they did in the PC games, but that really doesn't happen all that often. It's strange to say a game with poor AI can actually be difficult, but that's the case here. Most of the enemies in D-Day seem content to get shot in the face and not do too much about it. The game also has a few AI problems, too. Players will struggle with the controls and camera every bit as much as with the Nazis they're trying to kill. It still works on a fundamental level, but it's simply not as fun as it used to be.

Where players could execute finely tuned strategies and engage in dynamic firefights in the PC original, the PSP version offers an experience far less refined. Maybe this would be fine if the game in general progressed smoothly, but it doesn't. Players can get through many of the game's encounters by doing the same thing in exactly the same way. The only problem with this 'suppress and flank' dynamic is that it tends to get a little old after a while. It's easy to see when an enemy is suppressed thanks to a red circle floating above their heads - a nice touch given many of the game's environments get rather dark.

This opens the door to various flanking maneuvers the player can then carry out while the enemy is confused and huddled under cover. In short, players need to use their squad to suppress enemies. It actually makes for interesting firefights because the game makes it almost impossible for a player to take the Rambo route - it's necessary to think ahead. That's where D-Day's cover mechanic comes into play. But the secret to not dying is understanding that D-Day is not Medal of Honor Heroes - running into the heat of battle will only result in premature death. Fortunately, the save system lets a player beat sections of a stage without too heavy a penalty when death does occur.

Brothers in Arms is a challenging series to master, both on PC and PSP. But thanks to a handy-dandy checkpoint system, that's never really an issue. D-Day offers two different schemes, but neither works all that well.ДЄs such, all but the most experience players will die constantly. Surviving can get pretty difficult when actually running around the battlefield while struggling with squad commands and a funky control scheme. The game does include the situational awareness view, which offers a birds-eye view of the action, but this only helps coordinate tactics. Since there's only one analog stick on the system, it's difficult to keep an eye on surroundings while engaging enemies in heated gunfights. This has less to do with thinking through a tactical situation and everything to do with how players control themselves and their squad. Also, there are the aforementioned problems to worry about, as well.ДЇirst, the squad-based action of the original games simply doesn't translate well to the PSP - or at least not in D-Day. Not a bad thing in itself, but anyone expecting some fresh content may want to look elsewhere. Players will essentially get a 'best of' collection with D-Day, as opposed to a new game. D-Day doesn't just borrow characters from the first two games it takes entire missions and scenarios. Sergeant Baker starred in the first PC game, titled Brothers in Arms: Road to Hill 30 while Sergeant Hartsock appeared in the sequel, Brothers in Arms: Earned in Blood. It has clunky controls and muddy visuals, and the AI could use some sharpening.Д-Day takes place during the Normandy invasion and chronicles the harrowing account of two soldiers, Sergeants Baker and Hartsock.

Even with an adequate representation of elements seen in the PC versions, D-Day simply needs more to succeed as a portable FPS. At this point gamers don't even care to have a revolutionary shooter on the PSP - they just want one that works well. The former shipped a little bit ago, though it sadly fails to elevate the FPS genre on the PSP. Soon afterward, Ubisoft and Activision announced their own FPS titles, Brothers in Arms D-Day and Call of Duty: Roads to Victory. After these two shipped, Sony's little system got Medal of Honor Heroes, a game that finally showed what a really good FPS would be like on the handheld. Coded Arms delivered a decent romp in virtual space, and Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex had some good ideas, but neither games made good use of the PSP. For a while it seemed like the PSP would never get a library of first-person shooters.
