    Best Sandbox Game in a Long Time5
    This is just a preliminary review, I will update as I play further. Right now I'm about 45 minutes into the game and have completed a few missions. The first thing that I'd like to say is that the graphics are excellent for a sandbox game. The character models are very good and the environments are almost breathtaking. Foliage moves in the breeze and sunlight flickers as the leaves move. The colors are bright and vibrant, almost like the Uncharted color palette. The draw distance is good, with some minor pop-in with some ground foliage. You can see mountains which look like miles off in the distance. There are few minor jaggies on the edges of things, however not as bad as games such as InFamous. One more thing to add about the graphics is that the particle effects and explosions look really good. Dust flies up and flames/debris shoot out.

    The grappling hook and parachute work marvelously. You can basically grapple onto anything within reach and then use a pistol to shoot enemies or structures. Jumping off of cliffs, you can use your parachute to glide all around the environment, it can also be used during base jumping off of high structures.

    The aiming is sort of assisted. You have to have your cross hairs near an enemy and it kinda locks on. According to the manual you can target specific parts of enemies, but I haven't tried that yet. I enjoyed taking a mounted minigun off its stand and carrying it (it has unlimited ammo, unlike other weapons I have discovered) A lot of objects in the game are destructible, except buildings (in my limited experience so far) Light poles are destructible, however some lights, like on buildings and such can't be destroyed, which isn't a big deal.

    Overall, if you like sandbox games, I recommend this game. If you're on the fence about purchasing it, there's a demo available.

    EDIT: 3/24/10
    After playing a few more hours last night, I am still impressed with the game. The graphics are very nice, as stated above. The cut-scenes have a lower graphic quality than the game. I was a little disappointed, but the game itself is beautiful.

    I experimented more with the grapple. You can grapple two things together, in once instance you tow a car out from under some debris. Another thing to do is you can pull down statues of the island's ruler to create chaos. [A word about chaos, there are government buildings and equipment all around the island, by destroying them you create chaos and help you gain notoriety. By increasing your level of chaos, you gain access to more missions and equipment.] You can also grapple enemies toward you or hang them off of trees or buildings. You can only use one grapple at a time. If you double grapple something, you press a button to make it come back to you somehow (it's a game, not real life, so it basically works like magic).

    Free falling in the game is a blast. The designers made it feel like you're actually falling from extremely high up and the controller vibrates as though you're experiencing wind resistance. You can open your parachute at any time, whether falling or while in vehicles. Using a parachute while in/on vehicles allows you to gain altitude. Once you're in the air, you can grapple onto another vehicle and throw the driver out or just ride on top.

    Don't expect realism in this game as far as the stunts you perform. You can ride on top of a speeding car and not fall off, you can dive down over the front of the car and shoot. There is just so much to explore and do in this game. There are different things which you can search for such as the statues mentioned above. I think there are 90 scattered all over the place so it's fun to look for them and take them down. There are 3 factions on the island and so far I helped take over one base for them.

    The driving is a little weird at first, as far as handling. Different vehicles handle differently, the larger ones are slow and clumsy to control. You get handbrakes to help you take sharp turns and such. There are mopeds, motorcycles, copters, planes, boats, jeeps, cars, taxis, buses, firetrucks, tons of stuff to drive, there are actually 104 different vehicles and you gain a trophy for driving each one (basically hopping in).

    One last thing, the shadows in the game are ugly, unlike the rest of the game. At times they look jaggy and pixelated, but the action is fast and you hardly notice.

    I will update again once I play even more of the game.

    EDIT: 3/28/10
    I've been playing 6 hours and 21 minutes. According to the statistics, I'm only 6% finished with the game. The map is HUGE! When fully zoomed out, it measures 16"x16" on my 46" TV. I've explored roughly a 1.5" square within those 6 hours. Granted, I did spend an hour or so just fiddling around. The game has extensive statistics and it keeps you updated periodically. A message appears in the corner telling you how many hours you've been playing, how many different vehicles driven (there's also a check list on the stat screen), how many statues you've destroyed, various free fall heights, etc. The stat screen is interesting to check out because the game keeps track of so many things.

    There are racing challenges (not hard and I'm not a fan of driving games), free fall races where you base jump and have to fall through rings in the sky, and aerial races where you can fly either a plane or helicopter. The planes take some getting used to and I've always crashed :(

    The trophies are fun to collect. I'm not a fan of looking at the requirements, but the few I did check out seemed pretty cool. I've only racked up a handful but I'm not purposely trying to get them until later in the game.

    EDIT: 4/7/10
    I've put in around 22 hours and have completed roughly 16% of the game. The reason it's taking so long is because it's rather difficult to achieve 100% completion in the cities! There are always hidden water towers I keep missing or propaganda trailers off in some corner. Also there was a gas station in an out of the way place I missed for over an hour. I've gotten 100% completion in about 4 areas. The cities are huge with a lot of ground and air to cover. Plus, once you get further into the game your heat level increases faster. Just shooting a couple water towers with a helicopter will send air support after you.

    I'm still having a blast 22 hours into the game. It's so fun to just explore that I've only completed 3 storyline missions. I have actually gotten frustrated with the business district of Panau. I'm stuck at 97% complete so I'm about to start exploring further into the mountain and desert regions.

    A question I received was are the collectable items located on the map as dots? The answer is yes. However, I'll be damned if I can find some of them. I can be right over a dot on the map and there's nothing but trees in the area, no crate to be found. I'm not sure if it's an error in the code, or it's hidden somewhere, but I've given up more than a few times.

    FYI, you can complete the challenges multiple times to earn more money. There's nothing worse than buying a $35,000 plane and crashing it after flying 50 yards. If anyone is able to complete the free falling challenges, congrats, I am having a difficult time with those!

    Post any questions and I will try to answer them quickly.

    Best sandbox, possibly ever!5
    This game is a split between GTA4, Saints Row, and something all its own. It has the graphics only better'd by GTA4(but not much), the tons of weapons and fast paced action of SR with none of the bad. The only thing I can say is GTA4 has better gun and driving contols and physics; but this game trades that off with better flying and much more fun! The vast area is really impressive. I mean it make Oblivion look like tiny, GTA 4 look small, and I mean I've played for 4 hours now and seen maybe half of the island... By a jet. I feel like I can't even properly review it. 400 square miles of great graphics, changing weather and millions of opions. I highly recomend this game. Over anything else out right now. Its so much FUN!!!

    Haul in some sand and put me in that box! Fun multiplied.5
    Man, how nice to be away from reality. IRS, Bills, Responsibilities, nasty politics and more are reality. I'll leave them behind and grapple to a heli, grapple the passenger to his falling death next with the pilot and then take it over and then blow the hell out of a thug-run criminal gas station with my heli's built in rockets, parachute down and then motorcycle to a drug king pen's villa and blow the snot out of him and his goons and its not even 6:00am in the morning yet. Am I a Marine? Nope, I don't command that respect but I play Just Cause 2. Been playing it for addictively for 16 hours now and not even 8% through the main game yet. Here is the original review - a few gripes after.

    Well, I've never really enjoyed "sandbox" games. Tried GTA and just didn't get into it. Maybe I didn't try it long enough. But this game just got started and its an absolute blast and I think its just going to get even better. Watched many videos and read some reviews and watched one of the developers play and man this game is just plain insane fun! The diverse things you get to do and blow up are just amazing. Creating chaos and destroying cities to piss off the government! If only! Well, here we get to do it and the light story motivates you to kick some tail. The controls take time to get used to and are a bit difficult for older gamers like me, but its so much fun its worth it. Glitches??? I'm having way too much fun to even notice, nor do I give a .... Man, grappling to a huge heli, blowing it up OR taking it over then latching on to a building and 'chuting down, so many options. For less talented gamers such as myself, it does get a bit difficult with all of the controls and fast action though. I'll just have to keep practicing. As far as value for a game? I can't imagine how long and how many great hours you could put into this game. I think there are almost 400 locations to explore and infiltrate and I'm just getting started and thats not even mentioning the side missions which I haven't reached yet. Fun factor and replayability give this game 9.5 out of 10(haven't found a 10 yet) if you like to blow stuff up, shoot thugs, drive vehicles - planes, boats, helis, hummers and who knows what else.....this game is absolutely for you. If you pick apart games for reality, well give this one a pass. Once I get way further into it, I'll update this review.

    Some gripes: Save points! I wish there was an option to go exactly back to the place where you died. It seems that the game sticks you back into an old conquest and you have to fly/ride/run back to the other place or "transport" from your black market contact to a previous conquest that is close by to where you want to be. Not sure why, but thats the way they did it. Maybe there is another way but I don't know it. The vehicles can be difficult at first, but after you get used to them they are a complete blast. This game is still one of the most fun games I have ever played and there is so much more. Its one of the first games the I want to complete each mission at 100% and that can be fairly time consuming. The heli's are so much fun. I don't know why the put the vehicle purchase option in the game when you can just steal and aquire them in the game. Maybe there is a reason, but I don't know it yet. I bought a couple but it was just a waste of cash when I crashed them and stole another. I'll stand by my 5 star and 9.5 out of 10 review, or ok, 9.25 out of 10. A complete consuming blast, and still I'm only a small way in the game.

    Gundam Fight in 3D, but requires improvements4
    Battle Assault 3 Featuring Gundam Seed is a solid fighting game with many unlockable suits from Gundam Seed. The player plays as Kira Yamato in Mission Mode and fight various enemies based on the route the player takes in each chapter.

    The battles in each mission vary from 1 on 2, 1 on N, 1 on 1, 2 on 2, etc., before the player enters a mission, a status screen is displayed on the location where battle will commence, it shows the difficulty level and the Gundam the player will be using in that particular battle; because there are different routes to take, this status screen offers player a chance to think whether he can handle the enemies in that battle or not, if he decides that it might be too much for the first playthrough, an alternative route is always available and is relatively easier (most of the time).

    Aside from Mission Mode, BA3 also has VS Mode, Tag Mode, Survival Mode and other extras that are unlockable throughout the game. With the huge amount of suits waiting to be revealed, the game will hook up those who play for at least 10 to 15 hours straight.

    Graphical aspect in this game is very attractive, each suit is furnished in its own way to give reflections of lights, and during an execution of a desperation move (super attack), the camera zooms in with the pilot's portrait appearing on screen to yell out a phrase, followed by the fancy desperation move.

    Speaking of the phrases being said in this game, it is a big letdown, the English voice acting for animes has always been horrible, unfortunately, BA3 inherits this trait and worsens it even further, every conversation boils down to

    A: I don't wanna fight
    B: I'll kill you
    *battle ends*
    A: don't throw away your life so easily
    B: argh... I must retreat

    they have little variety and sound dull, however, since this is a fighting game, voice acting is hardly the focus, it should not affect the overall effect of the game.

    Sometimes players may find the controls a bit frustrating, one of improvements that must be made in the next game is probably the "unable to switch target when hit", there are, at most, 2 enemies on the battlefield the player will be fighting against, depends on the difficulty level, they can either act very noobish or can join together to pawn the player without mercy, which can get very annoying after many tries and still not being able to win. When the player's suit is hit, it'll fall on the ground, if this game allows target change when hit, as soon as player's suit gets up, he might be able to pull of a desperation attack to finish the suit that's doing the most damage to him; unfortunately, this function is not available, the player's suit must get up first before his target can be switched, and during that time, the player is vulnerable to many combos pulled off by his enemies and could potentially lose the battle from that.

    Although BA3 has some flaws that will keep hardcore fighting game fans away, Gundam Seed fans, mecha fans and other gamers who want to get a taste of a 3D fighting game with free movements in an arena with at max, 4 suits per battle on screen should definitely give a shot at this game. And be sure to look out for the Japanese version of this game, which will offer not only Gundam Seed units, but probably Gundam Seed Destiny units with Japanese voice actings when it's released.

    Dissapointment2
    This is a good game and can be fun but it dissapoints in many aspects.Here are some-
    1-The voice acting sucks and only vaguely relate to what the characters say in the series.
    2-Multiplayer mode isn't that good because the attacks (like Heero's double beam cannon) aren't that spectacular
    P.S. I wish they made a game based on Gundam Wing and Endless Waltz because, in comparison to Gundam SEED, Gundam Wing although older and not as shiny has a much better storyline and much more game material than Seed. (plus the gundams look a'lot more flashy.(especially ZERO, EPYON, ans TALLGEESE 2.

    Gundam Seed for the PS25
    Battle Assault 3 is Bandai?s first Gundam fighting game for PlayStation 2. The action is fast, frantic and allows you to make use of playable mobile suits taken from the TV series.

Within these, players have over 15,000 kit variations to discover, and will be able to fine-tune their preferred fighting style to give them the edge in combat that they will need to survive and prevail. In addition, new vehicles like the all terrain vehicle (ATV) and the UH-60 transport helicopter allow for new tactics, which players are free to choose from.

    Great Game!5
    As I am a huge fan of BFBC1, COD4MW and CODMW2, I will not make direct comparisons. They are all great in their own way. I will say that this game is a bigger improvement from BC1, than MW2 is from MW1...if that means anything to you.

    The graphics are a less "cartoon-ish", for lack of a better word.

    The controls are better IMO, but you change them back to BC1 if you'd like.

    There are more upgrades/attachments available, along with a unique way to mix and match them to your liking.

    Something I like a lot is the effect gravity has on snipers firing over long distances. It's the first game (that I know of) where the mil dots in the scope are needed to snipe. You will also have to lead your target, just like in BC1.

    Huge maps, like BC1

    Destructable buildings, tree, etc., like BC1.

    Firing rifles in full auto is more realistic. In BC1 there wasn't much climb or wander when firing in full auto.

    I would recommend it to any one looking for the closest simulation of warfare in a video game. It incorporates squad teamwork, vehicles, armor, airstrikes and much more. This creates an environment where the run-and-gun Rambo types, just get owned...I love it!

    A challenger to the COD Throne?4
    Quick backround on me - I'm an avid console FPS player. I achieved top 1% once and top 6% for 3 solid months on Killzone. I've gotten my kill rank as high as 91000 on MW2 (good enough for top 2%). I also played a fair amount of Resistance. I LOVE COD:MW2. I love the graphics, the speed, the twitch reflexes required to be good. I also do not play the single player games, so my review is aimed specifically at the online portion. I will say the 2 hours spent on the single player were very fun and the graphics phenominal (noticeably better than multiplayer). I also play with a clan that has carried over several games, that also weighs into my opinion. Finally, I played both the BETA and the DEMO, and about 48 hours online in, so I have a fair amount of experience with BFBC 2 .

    Based on DICE & EA's own admission, they are aiming to be the best, better than COD specfically. Do they succeed? Yes and no. Here is my comparison/opinion:

    Play is class based - Recon, Medic, Assault and Engineer. As you play as each character, their specific abilities are unlocked and enhanced. The leveling is slow. Unlike MW2 where getting hot could mean 2000xp and a quick couple of levels. Not so in Battlefield. You will need to play and play well as one class for an extended period to really get into the meat of the characters. You can customize your player, but not in the same fashion MW2. Edge: Draw

    Modes include Rush, Capture the Flag, Squad Deathmatch and Gold Rush. The HUGE advantage BFBC 2 has over MW2 is that playing like a one man army is useless and you will probably lose. You CAN do it, but camping and playing as a lone wolf simply do not work in BFBC. Again, a stark contrast to MW2, the maps are enormous. And that is putting it lightly. Squading up is imperative if you want to move quickly across the map (and spawn with a squadmate). Edge: BFBC

    Mechanics - The players move in a similiar fashion to COD:MW, i.e., like the player is on skates. This is in contrast to Killzone that moves more like Saving Private Ryan. The guns feel good, but do not have a weighty feel to them. The player can run for days and jump abnormally high. The bullets have drop at long range, wich is awesome. As opposed to a wobbly reticle, you have to aim based on distance to the target. You don't get much of a notice when you are getting hit or hit someone, and getting killed can be a bit jarring and abrubt. Players can regain health, but slowly, so as a sniper, you can get those one shot kills, especially if you snipe behind your tank. Speaking of vehicles. They are tide changer and vital part of winning the game you are playing. We're talking choppers, tanks, humvees and quadrunners. As far as the actual shooting goes, MW2 still just feels better, but that is going to be a strict opinion, as both work just fine. Edge: Draw

    Matchmaking - It's easy to jump into a squad and more importantly, hook up with friends. You can customize the map you play and all of the modes. The game also plays on dedicated servers supported by EA. Again, big edge: BFBC.

    Graphics / Sound - This is going to be very much debated. I like how COD and KZ looks. BUT - Battlefield has vehicles, 24 players, 10 maps that dwarf COD and KZ's maps and the big enchilada - fully destructable environments. Like the tanks your in, they change the game. If a sniper thinks he's going to camp, think again. The building he's in or tree he's behind will eventually fall. Near the end of some matches, the level of destruction is incredible. If you are a pure graphics fiend, youll probably think it's ugly, if you love the size, scope and destructability, you'll prefer BFBC. As far as sound - COD is like a Bruckheimer movie, BFBC is like Saving Private Ryan. More pops and thumps. Every gun in COD sounds like a cannon (which I love with my Turtlebeach P21 Headphones). Edge: Draw

    Overall - I personally prefer the gameplay of COD:MW2 by a wide margin over BFBC 2. However, if you've spent any time with MW2, you know it's full of lone wolves, campers, cheaters and glitchers. The matchmaking is inferior, clan support is nill and playing with friends online is very difficult because of constant drops. Playing as a team is paramount to having a good time on BFBC, and there in lies the rub. I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 because I'm afraid the game will not have that pick up and play, jump right in replayability that COD:MW2 has. Ginormous maps played with strangers not playing together could end up being just as bad (or worse) than the faults of MW2. At the end of the day, I like the overall idea of BFBC2 BETTER than MW2, but narrowly. Time will tell where the support from players lies and the longevity of the game.

    War that was born to be bad!!!!5
    What sets this game far apart from others are the sounds and the sound quality. The selection of weapons and vehicles is unheard of in this game. Unlockable weapons and gadgets to help you out in the long run when you get tired of the same ole stuff. I played one game just to test everything and when a rocket is blazing past you you can hear it take its cycle from shooting towards you to hitting you or going past you if your lucky. My fav one is when they blaze past you and blow a chunk out of a building causing massive shrapnel and debris to fly everywhere. You also get the wonderful sounds of bullets hitting metal and wood as they are fired a suspecting enemies gun. The maps are unreal and so fun to play. This is where Call of Duty falls short, VEHICLES!!!!! How can Activision go so low as to take out Vehicles in a War game? I must mention also the fact that unlike Call of Duty you have a dedicated server for all your online needs. The single player campaign really blew me away. The first mission was all i have played and im hooked. The distant WWII sirens going off and the humor and action are what sets the single player game apart. You dont need a motion sensor on your gun or a care package delivered to have fun. From snowy mountain areas to industrial plants you have it all in one game. Congrats EA and DICE. Job well done

    Worst let-down ever!1
    I was really excited when I first heard about this game. It was made by the guys over at IOI (Hitman series), and they have never let me down . . . until now. The trailers and hype make it seem like this is a high-budget game, but the actual gameplay comes out incredibly short:
    The sounds and environment are bland, so there is really no sense of urgency or intensity. The cutscenes are choppy and lackluster and they don't add to the "action-movie" style that this game could have achieved.
    The graphics are incredibly poor for a game of its time. I shot a window, and it cracked. The next time I shot it, the entire window just disappeared. And this wasn't because of a glitch, the animation is just that underdeveloped. When I died, my teammates came up and their big blocky arms went through me when they adminsitered the adrenaline shot. This game really looks like an early PS2 game at best . . .
    The gameplay is the most underdeveloed part of the game. Hit detection sucks, and even though it claims to have a cover-system, it also sucks. In fact, there is no cover button even. Walk up to a wall and jiggle the joystick around and hope that your character will eventually take cover. It really is annoying. Your character constantly pops in and out of cover whether you want him to or not.
    Stay away from this game. I really wanted to like it, but I had to return it after about an hour and a half of play. With game prices as high as they are, you'd expect to have some half-decent quality delivered. Kane & Lynch fails. If you really have to play this game, rent it and you'll be happy you read this review.
    This game had everything going for it: a quality developer, a quality storyline, and very capable next-gen systems to support it. However, laziness and greed on the developers' part totally ruined everything this game could have been.

    "Kane & Lynch - Dead BORED Men" is more like it.2
    In all fairness, I really wanted to like this game. I gave it a fair shot and rented it out. After completing it, I've decided that Kane & Lynch had a lot of potential that got turned into a 16-level rehash of Michael Mann's bank robbery scene from the movie Heat.

    The game description tells us:

    "This is a violent and chaotic journey of two men - a flawed mercenary and a medicated psychopath. Each hates the other but must work together to save themselves. Play Kane in single-player mode and either character in two-player co-op mode."

    The reality is: Yes, two men who hate each other are teamed up - but they should direct their hate towards the game control system. We can only change two buttons in the options screen, so if you don't like the layout of the controls, you've got to suck it up.
    Passing a weapon to another character is not fluid - holding the R3 button and using the D-Pad to choose a weapon is simply not possible in a heated firefight.
    In single-player mode, Kane shows up to the left of the screen, not centered, as one would expect. If you play as Lynch (which can only be done in co-op mode), he's on the right side of the screen.
    It's usually standard for games to offer playability as either of the protagonists, but that wasn't done here.

    The game description tells us:
    "Violence Erupts in Meticulously Created Safe Worlds: Realistic and responsive environments and crowds react when events get of out control. Manipulate the environments and crowds strategically to complete objectives."

    The reality is: Yes, if you fire a bullet in a crowded dance hall, the characters start screaming like an 8-year-old girl who saw Michael Jackson in 1983. However, the crowd movement is totally inaccurate. Everyone is able to make it outside but mysteriously, no patrons are trampled to death, as one would expect.
    I don't know what it means to use the crowds to complete objectives, as the crowds in this game act like medicated sheep that don't react to much other than gunfire.

    The game description tells us:

    "Wide Variety of Intense 3rd Person Game Play: Rappel from buildings, firing on the run or from moving vehicles, launch surprise attacks, lay down cover fire, and shoot blind from around corners, hurl smoke, tear, and incendiary grenades."

    The reality is: You can do all these things, and the variety of weapons is impressive. However, Lynch usually starts every level with the shotgun as his primary weapon. In a game where most of your adversaries are firing from afar with rifles, Lynch's shotgun is virtually useless. Sure, you can change the weapon out with a better one, but why is the crappy weapon always the default?
    Also, the camera angles in single-player mode are agonizing. Since the camera has Kane left of center, if you're behind an object and try to do a close-up aim on Kane's enemies, you'll get a screen full of Kane's bald spot instead. It doesn't help that the targeting reticule is the size of the period at the end of this sentence.

    The game description tells us:

    "Fast and Intuitive Combat: Lead a crew of criminal mercenaries to increase your chance of survival. You can also fight alone, you will automatically draw fire, throw grenades, lay down cover, and engage in close combat with their own signature moves."

    The reality is: The description doesn't mention that the criminal mercenaries have no survival instincts whatsoever. If you don't keep them on a tight leash, they'll walk right into a heated firefight and try to stop their enemies with a devious trick: jumping in front of the bullets they shoot.
    You will typically do most of the work yourself, while the mercenaries pick off the leftovers. As far as signature moves, once you've seen Kane break someone's neck for the 79th time, it gets boring.

    The game description tells us:

    "Two-player Co-operative Game Play: Team up and play the full story with a friend as either Kane or Lynch. At any point in the game you can choose to play the next, or previous, levels in co-op. Innovative Multi-player Levels: Up to 8 players."

    The reality is: I don't see what they mean by playing the full story in co-op mode - the only real difference between single player and co-op mode is seeing some events from Lynch's perspective, which we can already deduce from Kane's reactions in single player mode.
    Playing previous levels or present levels is a standard feature, so there's nothing innovative here.
    I haven't come across 8 players who want to tackle Kane & Lynch, let alone 8 people who want to play it at the same time.

    Kane & Lynch is entertaining for a little bit, but the gameplay degenerates quickly into a repeating loop of showing a major gunfight - then another - then another - and then another. Excessive gunfights and generous heapings of cursing can't save this game. I wouldn't recommend Kane & Lynch for anything other than a rental.

    LAME1
    I bought this game after a salesmam tell me that it was great.
    After a day of playing, I think this game is very lame.
    First, if die, you have to watch the same cut-scene over and over again. There is no way you can skip it. My wife just ask me if I want to sell it. I'm having some thoughts about it. Probably so.
    I wouldn't recomend this game at all.

    Why so great5
    This game is awesome so many reasons. First, it's the first game to allow massive destruction of map structures. Instead of chasing someone around a building, just blow down the walls with your M203 launcher and cut him of or just blow him up while you take down the wall. Second, the use of vehicles is well balanced out with regular on-foot fighting. The involement of vehicles to this game doesn't make someone using the vehicle that much more better well of than someone not using, as I mentioned before is well balanced. Third, the ability to choose classes mid game is a plus. You can go from sniping across the map (which you CAN do) to assalting a defended building while as the right equipment, plus you can always pick up some dead guys equipment pack of the ground. Either way anyone who loves first person shooters while get tons of fun out of this game. Welcome to Bad Company soldier!

    B Company

    Welcome to the 222nd Army battalion, B-company. This is where the Army rakes together all the insubordinates, hellraisers and troublemakers that won’t fit in any other unit. When the Rangers and Deltas are too expensive to waste, these guys are the first ones in.

    They’re called “Bad Company”; a mismatched bunch of rejects selected to serve their country as cannon fodder. This isn’t the kind of outfit a lot of soldiers would join voluntarily. Getting transferred to “the B” is a punishment and a way for the generals to put all their rotten eggs in one basket.

    No one starts out in Bad Company. But for some, this is where they end up.

    For a change, this frostbite is very enjoyable.5
    DICE Sweden has produced one amazing engine. They already have mastered the gameplay in past games. The new frostbite engine is as good as it gets for FPS. After playing for a couple of hours, it is impossible to play other FPS like COD4. Why bother to climb up to take down the sniper, when you can take down the tower with a RPG. There is no annoying boundaries, every thing can be opened up. When the map is not rigid it is lot more fun to play.

    It is easy for anyone appreciate the video quality. Iam more amazed by the engines audio strength. Every gun, explosion, terrain sounds unique. Even the sound transition of passing vehicles in combat is reproduced impeccably.

    The game is very accessible too. With lot of respawn points, it is easy to get along when you make a mistake.

    I like the witty British/Swedish writing. Story line and the twist is very well handled. This game will be a strong contender for FPS of the year.

    This Is A Really Fun Game.5
    Battlefield: Bad Company is a fun game to play. Right away I noticed the game has probably the best sounds of combat I have ever heard in a game. From the sounds of weapons firing to the sounds of armored vehicles running, the game is great to listen to. The sounds of mortar shells coming down and exploding around you is just unbelievable. When I walk through forests and fields, I can actually hear the sounds of birds chirping, dogs barking, and cows mooing.

    The graphics in the game are just great too. I love looking at the water in streams and rivers. It looks very real. The forests and villages in this Eastern European setting are really beautiful to look at in this game.

    I like how you can jump in different vehicles to drive around in and there is a car radio in the vehicle to listen to while you are driving around. There are several different radio stations to listen to. I love the music in this game.

    The AI in this game is pretty smart. When enemy soldiers see me, they immediately run and hide behind something. They have try to out flank me and they have tried to sneaked behind me a few times. I love the part where a enemy soldier runs into a building to hide from you and you can use your weapon to blow a good size hole into a building to waste the enemy soldier. It is also so much fun to just take your weapon and shoot down all the trees that enemy soldiers are hiding behind. You can do so much damage to the terrain with your weapons in this game.

    The maps to this game are huge. The maps are ten times bigger than the maps to Call of Duty 4. I love the sandbox settings to this game where you can go any where on the maps.

    I highly recommend getting this game. Battlefield: Bad Company is a fun game to play and the game has a lot of replay value to it.

    Break Stuff!5
    I heard this was going to be great, so I got it right away. I'm pleased to report it is as fantastic as people expected. You can destroy everything in your sight! You can drive tanks and jeeps and helicopters, everything. The online mode is smooth and easy compared to MGS4. Makes COD4 seem dumb for not having rumble, destructible environments or vehicles. There's going to be a lot of action on the Bad Co servers this summer! Get in on it!

    01/01/09: I have to say, I have gotten a bunch of games since this one, and I had a lot before I got this one. I have 11 or 12 games for PS3. Hands down, this is still my favorite game and I highly recommend it at this new low price. This is the BEST game for PS3 and you must have it. Do not hesitate. You couldn't spend $30 towards your system and get more for the money! I still have not played the actual game portion of this. I play ranked quickmatches and that's so satisfying I haven't even tried the story. Also, they added a capture the flag type multiplayer version to it and I haven't even tried that! The ranked quickmatch is worth the money alone. This game is awesome. Get it!

    Is it Better Than Call of Duty 4? Hell Yeah.5
    Battlefield: Bad Company is probably the best FPS I've ever played. It brings a whole new mechanic into multiplayer with the ability to blow through walls, and has a huge selection of weapons that each have their own advantages.

    Graphics: A. I'm not sure if the framerate is better then CoD4's 60 frames per second but all the animations are great and the explosions look very realistic.

    Sound: A+. Best in any game. Period. From the shots from a machine gun to the clanking of bullet shells on the ground, this game has the best sound effects in any game. You will even notice how your footsteps echo while you're in small rooms.

    Single Player: A. The main focus of the Bad Company campaign seems to just try to make you laugh. Although there is nothing funny about war, your squadmates will shout out hilarious one-liners and the cutscenes are even better. As for the story, it just seemed like a last-minute idea that the developers threw into the game. It's not a bad story, just not an epic one like in the Metal Gear Solid Series.

    Multiplayer: A+. The multiplayer in Bad Company makes up for not having a two-player splitscreen or co-op. You fight on battlefields inspired by the campaign levels. There are two teams, attackers or defenders, and each on has to destroy or protect gold crates. The maps are huge, and you have a 3D mini-map that displays the objectives and where your friends are. With the ability to blow through walls, the game is entirely changed. Instead of shooting at a far away sniper with your assault rifle, how about your blow up the whole building he is hiding in. Or if a doorway is too well guarded, take out an RPG and make your own door. And with the new squad spawn (you can spawn with one of your teammates instead of back at your base), one attacker can become four in a second and the defenders will have to deal with that many more people. In addition, multiplayer matches always have great connection, being disconnected is practically unheard of.

    Classes: There are 5 player classes who each have their own advantages, and here is a quick summary of them:

    Assault: Use a quick firing and accurate gun to kill enemies. If you get shot, you have an infinite life source that you can use repeatedly. Disadvantages of assault: assault players don't really have a way of killing vehicles, despite the grenade launcher which is too weak to take down a tank.

    Demolition: Use a powerful shotgun at close range to kill your enemies with one shot. You can also plant mines for tanks, or you can shoot them with an RPG. Disadvantages of demolition: the RPG will shoot far away, but there is no actual way to take down enemies from afar.

    Recon: Use a sniper to take out far away enemies. If a tank or any other vehicle is threatening you, use a laser designator to target the vehicle and steer an air strike towards your target. Disadvantages of recon: even though your pistol is powerful, it can't stand up to an assault rifle or shotgun at close range.

    Specialist: Use a gun with an extremely high rate of fire to quickly and quietly take out your enemy. You also have a tracer gun the can point out enemy vehicles to the demolitionists on your team. Also you have C4 which can be thrown and then remotely detonated, which is great for defending key points. Disadvantages of specialist: None really, except to take down a tank you have to walk right up to it to plant the C4, but other than that in my opinion it is the most well-rounded class. Many would say assault is well-rounded, but they can heal themselves which is really helpful.

    Support: The medics, but don't get me wrong these guys are dangerous. Use a machine gun to mow down your enemies. You can repair vehicles and heal teammates for massive amounts of points. Also you can call in an airstrike and kill many enemies without getting your hands dirty. Disadvantages of support: None. With the ability to heal yourself and your teammates, and to keep a steady stream of bullets on your enemy while they reload their guns, support could easily be the best class. If only more people on my team chose to be them, I wouldn't have to hide in a corner after losing virtually all my health from an sniper shot or an RPG.

    Well, so much for keeping it short and sweet. But I really think this much information is needed when you decide to buy a game. I could go on and on, but this should give you a nice taste of the game.

    As fun as Call of Duty 4!5
    I hear a lot that people who like COD4 are looking for a new online shooter and this is the next best thing out there.

    I will say for one COD4 is a faster pace game but the things you can do are endless on Bad Company.

    The sound and graphics are amazing! and the story mode is funny, long, and a lot different than any other war game I have ever played before.

    Online is a lot of fun also, the maps are big and theirs no laggy rooms or rooms the get closed like on COD4.

    If your getting this game for the Online get the Gold edition, you get 5 guns that really helps you out online wise. If your not going to play it online just get the $[...] normal game.

    The only thing I wish this game had was a way to do stuff with like a clan, things based on doing stuff with clans. Other than that I give this game 5 stars {Online and Off} not just cuase I bout it, becuase it really deserves 5 stars.

    This Is A Really Fun Game.5
    Battlefield: Bad Company is a fun game to play. Right away I noticed the game has probably the best sounds of combat I have ever heard in a game. From the sounds of weapons firing to the sounds of armored vehicles running, the game is great to listen to. The sounds of mortar shells coming down and exploding around you is just unbelievable. When I walk through forests and fields, I can actually hear the sounds of birds chirping, dogs barking, and cows mooing.

    The graphics in the game are just great too. I love looking at the water in streams and rivers. It looks very real. The forests and villages in this Eastern European setting are really beautiful to look at in this game.

    I like how you can jump in different vehicles to drive around in and there is a car radio in the vehicle to listen to while you are driving around. There are several different radio stations to listen to. I love the music in this game.

    The AI in this game is pretty smart. When enemy soldiers see me, they immediately run and hide behind something. They have try to out flank me and they have tried to sneaked behind me a few times. I love the part where a enemy soldier runs into a building to hide from you and you can use your weapon to blow a good size hole into a building to waste the enemy soldier. It is also so much fun to just take your weapon and shoot down all the trees that enemy soldiers are hiding behind. You can do so much damage to the terrain with your weapons in this game.

    The maps to this game are huge. The maps are ten times bigger than the maps to Call of Duty 4. I love the sandbox settings to this game where you can go any where on the maps.

    I highly recommend getting this game. Battlefield: Bad Company is a fun game to play and the game has a lot of replay value to it.
