Battlefield: Bad Company Platinum Hits - Xbox 360

Terrific multiplayer game, if a bit short on maps. The massive size of the maps helps make up for this, though. This game makes you feel like you are in the middle of Saving Private Ryan or Black Hawk Down; walls will explode in on you, you can call in air strikes on tanks or armored cars, the variety of classes allows for great teamwork, and it just incredibly fun to play. Too bad none of that stuff is true about the single player. The AI is all knowing and 100% accurate; there's no getting the drop on these guys, and they don't use tactics so much as just track you, even through walls, and open fire as soon as they have a clear line of sight. Eventually the campaign becomes the same loop of objectives (drive to town, secure it, repeat), so if you don't have Xbox LIVE Gold, I would stay away from this one. If you do, then it's a great purchase (though maybe a little pricey at $60).

I would only recommend this game to diehard fans of the Battlefield series. Online multiplayer can be fun, but the campaign lacks innovation. You'll spend most of the time trying to reach your destination. Once you get there, you'll get sent off to the next destination. The destructable environment is fun for a little while, but after a while its nothing special. You can only destroy external walls and roofs to buildings, and trees dissapear shortly after knocking down. You can call in artillary bombardments or guided air-to-ground missiles, but they are used from gadgets of which you can only carry one at a time, and they have cooldown timers before you can use them again. Infinate uses however. Vehicles are fun, but once again, nothing special. Vehicles can be repaired using power tools, unrealistic but usefull. If you've played a previous Battlefield game, you've basically played this. Using the iron sights on guns is a nice change, but only a select few guns use them, the rest still run off aiming redicals and crosshairs. You can only carry one gun, unless you have a sniper rifle as they come with side arms. You do not get to mix and match rifles and side arms though, its all pre-arranged. Sub-machine guns and shotguns include rifle grenades, and light machine guns have standard grenades, again its all pre-arranged. Story line is lacking, you have no real long term goal in this game, just taking orders from dispatch. Combat lacks blood and the AI isn't much better then last generation console games. Overall, this game is nothing special. Get this game only if you really enjoy battlefield games, as this game isn't even as humorous as it was advertised to be.

So far my experience with Battlefield: Bad Company is great. I love the campaign so far and the graphics are good too. The best part about this game is the explosions and the sound that goes along with them. You can destroy almost 100% of anything around you. Also, the multiplayer can supply with tons of fun because you can play with up to 24 players on each team and can blow up anything in your sight. You can even ride in helicopters to other military vehicles. This game is one of a kind and that is why it seserves 5 stars.

This is a fun game that brings modern warfare to a somewhat realistic game play. You can get in hummers, tanks, and even helicopters, and destroy almost everything. It brings the fast paced, realism from Call of Duty 4 and the fun un-realistic gameplay from Halo 3. The controls are very wierd and hard to get used to. You have to cycle through buttons to select your secondary weapon or your grenade or your special grenade, etc. Sniping online is almost impossible unless your target is standing completely still. This game takes in the Coreolis effect, and counts for lag time, which is realistic, but frustrating when you cannot even kill anyone. So you have to aim several feet in front of your target to have any hope. Your health does not regain; much like the millions of other games, you need to find a medic or health packs to regain health. Other than those cons, everything else about this game is great. Personally, I'm gonna buy Top Spin 3 on June 24th. haha

I downloaded the demo and I can't seem to stop playing it. I can't wait to get the real game. The map in the demo is huge and fun to play. You can travel the map anyway that you want pretty much: by chopper, humvee, buggies, tanks and you can also have passengers in your vehicles on machine guns. You can also blow up almost everything in the game. Great game and you should definetely buy it when it comes out.

This game is great, the fact that it is that realistic and has great graphics is unbelievable when you realize it's only the demo. That being said, I wish I had the actual game because while the demo is awesome, it's still only the demo. The game-play experience itself is amazing, you actually need to know what you're doing, it's not some game where you can run around and randomly shoot people. It requires teamwork and communication. You can ride and drive boats, tanks, choppers, jeeps, and tanks, the guns are sweet and realistic. The map in the demo is huge, so I imagine the other maps will to, but like I said, you can drive vehicles all over the map so no worries. And while friendly fire is on, your teammates are marked by a small blue X, so you'll know who to shoot, and who not to shoot.

I remember I saw this commercial and I thought what a LAME gme. Anyways I rented it and honestly was "Hooked"! The story line is kinda weak and ALL the lame jokes aside the landscapce, characters and detail are pretty darm good. I DID underestimate this game at first but now I can't stopn playin' the MultiPlayer. At least until GoW2 comes out I'll be playing this for awhile!

This game is very tactical and can be really fun when playing online with your freinds. The single player is very cool it is pretty hard but fun to play. This game is way more realistic compared to Call Of Duty 4 because the health in this game stays down once wounded and that makes the game really hard if you dont have people on your team that cooperate.
