Brothers in Arms - What do you guys think?

I just picked up Brothers in Arms: Road to Hill 30 for xbox used last weekend at Blockbuster for $13, and I'm really enjoying it. I usually hate fps on the box (prefer pc) but this one has me intrigued. I wanted to know what everyone else thought about the game, either pc or xbox is welcome, and what you think of its sequel, Earned in Blood. Is it any good?

If the sequel is good, then I might get it for pc so I'll have the best of both worlds. I read IGN's reviews on both games (Hill 30 - pc & xbox and Blood pc) and think the sequel's graphical enhancements would be most obvious on the pc.

Cheers.

I really liked brothers in arms on xbox, it took me about 8hours to finish the game. it wasent a very long game, the fact that i really liked is the beggining is the end, (you start at the end).

I couldn't wait for Road to Hill 30 to come out, I got it for PC and was extremely disappointed. Don't know why but I just hated it haha..bad GFX and gameplay IMO. Don't think I will bother to check out Earned in Blood.
