Point of View Bundles Back to its Roots with New Brothers in Arms

Point of View is announcing the release of the Special Edition game bundle of Brothers in Arms: Hell's Highway. The Brothers in Arms series is one of the most critically acclaimed historically accurate war-sim games. With the latest installment: Hell's Highway, Ubisoft really has raised the bar for this type of games. The game Brothers in Arms: Hell's Highway takes place in 1944, during the liberation of the Netherlands in the Second World War. The game tells the story of Operation Market Garden, the journey from Eindhoven; where Point of View's headquarters is located, to Arnhem. Road 69; the road from Eindhoven to Arnhem was later nicknamed Hell's Highway.

On of the most impressive details is that the area of Operating Market garden was completely reconstructed by historical documents and images. The authentic feeling when you walk through the Dutch streets of more than 60 years ago is really uncanny. Street signs, building structures, clothing and even the clinker bricks on the roads dispense a true authentic mood.

Furthermore, the game is packed with hardcore ragdoll effects, a destroyable covering system and innovative adrenaline effects system. To boost these effects, the game also has native support for the Philips amBX system.

Get the most out of the game with the Point of View GeForce 9 and 200 Series graphics cards, supporting DirectX 10, Shader model 4.0 and High Definition movie support. The bundle will be available with graphics cards from GeForce 9800GT and up.

The Brothers in Arms: Hell's Highway bundle will also be available in the unique POV / Philips / Ubisoft bundle, containing a GeForce 9500GT 512mb DDR3 or GeForce 9600GT 512mb DDR3 graphics card, the Philips amBX sound and lighting system and a full version of the game.
