This review is for the PC version
Compared to Crysis ,BC2 really is close visually in many aspects,but Gameplay is all that matters and Bad Company like many Battlefield games before it is way ahead of other Shooters in the online arena. The guns feels like they should and a few hits kills someone, and unlockable items means you can have differant setups for differant situations and levels.
I honestly thought (not playing Bad company 1 Cause consoles suck)that the story mode was gonna be tickle me elmo, but i am surprised it is high quality 1 player mode.
I have played many online Shooters and this one is a gamers Paradise.
