Battlefield : Bad Company - XBox 360 Review

I’ve been a major fan of the battlefield series for years since battlefield 1942. Console gaming from a pc usually comes out to pretty shitty game play or crappy controls but in bad company it was built just for a console and not like a traditional FPS more comical Game play Well Time to get dirty with bad company.

 

Basics:

The Game starts as you joining a rag tag group of misfits called bad company.  You’re thrown in to a war with the Russian’s.  You and your new found cohorts have to go in and take out targets to help with this so called war.  Each rifle in the game is realistic no laser scope on a shotgun here boys no shitty perk system like in COD.  Each rifle looks great and nicely detailed you can tell each of them apart with ease.  The single player game is very creative with a great sense of humor unlike other battlefield games this one is more like a mercenary style game. Your quest for money and guns and bitches the American dreams.  Missions are pretty long and giving you access to vehicles  Such as Tanks , Boats , Helicopter I’m not going to spoiler for anyone but there is one vehicle in the game that is just funny to drive in.  The Game’s Single player doesn’t feel like it was tacked on at the last second it has more depth than the previous games like the last battlefield: Modern combat it felt like it was more of a training mission for online play. On this game it’s more of a pleasure to play through it with the humor and makes you ready to want to get on Xbox live and kick someone’s ass.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Combat:

Combat is Furious and dead on.  There is really no cover system in this game but the game does well with what it gives you such as major destruction you can blow up pretty much 99% of the games assets buildings crumble when you fire at an enemy.  Taking out gas canisters lying around near buildings to finish off an enemy nice and cleanly.  Guns are spot on each feel unique and look the part.

 

Ai:

Ai is surprisingly good pretty bright when they’re in a tank they will chase you down and follow you till your dead. And their dead eyes with aim they can do some major damage at distance.

 

Graphics:

 

Nicely detailed world and major destruction everywhere you go.  Everything being able to be blown up by a RPG or a tank or chain gun gives the game a awesome edge. Reminding me of the days of red faction and being able to blow holes in to walls and hide in them. This makes it really nice when fighting with a group of enemies you can’t seem to flank just blow a gas tank beside the building and take a few of them out and finish them off.  All characters in the game are nicely detailed and rifles look spot on nicely detailed. Buildings and levels look unique to each area. Except for some frame rate issues and texture ripping in some areas .

 

Sound:

Perfect voice acting and funny dialog and music isn’t too bad letting you do a little GTA style with the hummers and trucks listening to music on your way to kick some ass. All guns have a unique sound making it feel like you’re in this war fighting with the Russians.

 

Multiplayer:

Like the other battlefield games they’ve added to it with new game plays such as gold rush were you attempt to attack and capture caches of gold.  The old style of Game play with the new style of blowing shit up really fits perfect to the multiplayer blowing a building to hell and taking out people camping it always a huge treat.

 

Final Thoughts:

I seen the parody videos and I thought what the hell I’ll buy this game and it might be alright or just another rehash I was far  from bring right this game is unique with its sense of humor and poking fun at everyone. The single player is great and fun and ai is very challenging.  The multiplayer is another major reason to buy this game blending all the elements nicely letting you go buck wild and blow shit up and using tanks to blow people up is always golden. If it wasn’t for the odd frame rate issues and hiccups with the textures tearing this game could have been perfect  I really did enjoy the game one of those games you think oh what the hell EA? But it’s actually pretty fun. if you’re a fan of the old battlefield games you should enjoy this plus the humor makes it even better.

 

Pros – Humor and funny FPS with the solid game play, very polished 

Cons – frame rate issues & texture issue

9.8 / 10
