The frontlines are more fun than you would think...

User Rating: 8 | Battlefield 2 PC
Battlefield 2 is a game that despite a few drawbacks will keep you coming back and back for years to come. First of all the idea of a Multiplayer only game does sounds a little half full to someone like me who enjoys single player but luckily the online battles are more than enough to keep you wanting more.

The graphics are very nice and while they will of course become dated in the new generation of gaming, they will still hold up long enough to take many hours of pleasure in the game just visually.

The sound is top notch and when you here a bullet whizz by, it gives you that shot of adrenaline that keeps you on your toes at all time. While am sure there is better in other games, it does not take away that they did a good job with the sound.

The gameplay is where Battlefield finds it biggest strength but also its biggest problems. The gameplay is not particularly hard for a new player to get into but while the ability to unlock weapons may give the game a longer life, it can at times make it harder to come up against a player with a superior arsenal. Also I do feel the damage is a little weak on some weapons and can lead to frustration though some of the unlocks do help with this. However the battles can be very enjoyable but I feel the vechiles are too overpowered but with the right amount of practice you can find a good balance in the game though the bunnyhopping ability and a rolling glitch can make send your blood rushing at times.

The game has massive replay value and has 2 booster packs and one expansion pack so you will be kept busy for a long time before being bored. Even if you find other games to play, now and again you will want to return to the Battlefield.
