Okay, since Gamespot hates me and won't let me submit a review for BF: BC 2, I'll just post it here. Enjoy everyone! :D
In this review of Battlefield: Bad Company 2, I'll be covering the basics on everything you need to know about this game. In BF: Bad Company 2, you are part of a 4 man squad that is called: Bad Company. Your teammates are the same great and likeable characters as in the game previous to this one: Sweets, Hagard, and Sarge. Although the campaign is over in a matter of about 6 to 7 hours, it's a real thrill ride while it lasts, and it's very replayable. In the campaign this time around, you're saving the world from a giant weapon of mass destruction. So, not to give away anymore of the story, lets just move onto the review. And the physics and gameplay combined make for some very intense moments throughout the game. For example: while you may be taking cover in a building and taking pot shots at your enemies, they may be taking their time to destroy not just you, but the entire building you're in. While you're playing BF: Bad Company 2, everywhere around you there will be explosions, grenades, and tons of gunfire. Okay, now that I'm off that kick, let's move on to the voice acting. The voice acting in BF: Bad Company 2, is terrific. In game and in cutscenes alike, the voice acting is great. If you just stand around in the campaign for awhile, and don't do anything, you'll hear tons of banter back and forth betweenSweets, Hagard, and Sarge. Okay, now for the controls. The controls for the Xbox 360: the Xbox 360 version has some different controls, compared to most FPS games being made for the Xbox today. For example: you press the RB button is to melee attack. But despite the somewhat awkward controls, they are very easy to get use to after a short period of time in the game. The controls for the PC: the PC version of BF: Bad Company 2 has some pretty normal controls, WASD to move, mouse to look. Overall the controls are pretty average. And probably second-hand to the average PC gamer. Now, time to tackle the multiplayer. The multiplayer features 4 playable game types, including Conquest, Rush, Squad Rush, and Squad Deathmatch. All of which are very fun and all players should try at least a little of each. The competitive multiplayer is the games' strongest asset. The intense gameplay make for some of the most fun moments in a multiplayer game. The gameplay modes are all very addicting and it's very satisfying when you arm the bomb for the game winning explosion. The community is fine as well, and respectful for the most part. All in all, there are many words that can be used to describe the multiplayer: great, intense, fun, but I can't think of one negative word to describe it. The only thing I can think of is that I recall a couple technical problems. Though nothing truly frustrating, it certainly doesn't help. Pros: fun, intense campaign; strong multiplayer; likeable characters; top notch graphics; great physics Cons: Short campaign; small tech issues; Final Score: 9.1/10 UPDATE: Review submitted, check it out. Thumb up if you like it. Thanks. :D
Lets kick it off with the graphics, which in this case, are top notch. Beautiful landscapes provide you with tons of eye-candy throughout the entire game. In the campaign and the multiplayer, the graphics hold up as some of the best I've seen to date. And it makes it all the more satisfying when you blow a few gaping holes in a building, and watch it fall and crumble to the ground.
Speaking of which, another nice addition to the game is the physics involved. Almost anything on the maps in both the campaign and multiplayer are completely destructable. Too lazy to take the door? Who cares, just make one yourself and blow a damn hole in the wall. In most games, these kinds of physics would be a delicacy, but not in BF: Bad Company, destruction is everywhere.
