If you like a first person shooter with action, requiring thought at times and a good dose of humour, this is the game for you. I thought I might get fed up with the wise cracking comments of the squad members, but it just got better and better. You...

Battlefield: Bad Company - Xbox 360 review - Pocket-lint

By Chris Pickering (pocket-lint.com)

How will this fare under fire?

So much destruction on offer, great fun in multiplayer, when it works, fantastic audio experience

A step behind Call of Duty 4, Bad Company doesn't claim the top spot. But if you're tired of Soap MacTavish and the gang, then you could do a lot worse than give Bad Company the time of day

Battlefield: Bad Company Xbox 360 Review

Battlefield has always been a multiplayer focused series, though obviously with the freshest entry, Battlefield: Bad Company, effort has been spent on both the single and multiplayer components. But at least in regards to the campaign mode, it seems...

Battlefield: Bad Company, with its excellent, though flawed single player campaign and intense Gold Rush multiplayer mode is pure gaming gold (joke very much intended). Bad Company certainly makes for good company on this occasion, just don't tell your...

Battlefield: Bad Company 2 PS3 Review

By Si^ (gameon.co.uk)

When I saw the new trailer for Bad Company 2, I really did fall in love with it. DICE seemed to have really found a point with fast and fluid gameplay in the multiplayer aspect of the game with a good mix of vehicles and unique style of maps, that...

Great Single player ; Even Better Multiplayer

Few Modes in multiplayer to play with ; No Dedicated LAN servers ; No Listen Server

However we have seen this before with a lot of big hitting FPS games which have been released across the platform range. The multiplayer has been brilliant but the single player has been lacking. So how does Bad Company 2's Single player hold up?

Battlefield: Bad Company

By Anmol Kapoor (ld2.ciol.com)

A fantastic shooter that manages to expand the genre itself with a sharp story, superb visuals and destructible environs

Detailed visuals ; Tons of weapons ; MP and SP compnents ; Fully destructible environments

None

Bad Company has a lot going for it. The sharp SP campaign, amazing visual quality, but it's the MP that really carries it all the way through and makes the entire experience one of the finest ever created on any platform.

Bad Company's pro-explosion agenda makes its solo and multiplayer components markedly better than they would be otherwise.

Battlefield: Bad Company

By Andrew St.Denis (ic-games.co.uk)

The Battlefield name has been around for a little while now, and EA and DICE have brought the next gen Battlefield: Bad Company to the PS3 and Xbox 360 consoles only.

Fun with Tanks ; Excellent Voice Talent

Dodgy AI ; Limited Multiplay Options

Now in the previous titles it's all been about the multiplayer game, with the single player areas just being a training ground for that. This time it's been given a proper single player game and it's actually pretty good. perhaps the best part being...

The team is yourself Preston Marlowe, Sergeant Redford, Sweetwater and Haggard, who seem to get all the shitty jobs in the US Army

Battlefield: Bad Company

By (play.tm)

Much like the Chelsea team roster, the first-person shooter genre has become well known for being over populated and prone to under performance. However, just like the Russian-owned London football club, there is the odd genuine star turn mixed in...

Much like Black, Battlefield: Bad Company actively encourages the player (a.k.a. man-with-a-past Preston Marlowe) to utilise the teeth-jarring power of explosive force to ensure steady and superbly thrilling progress. For example, virtually any red...

So, bearing that limp sporting analogy in mind, is EA and DICE's latest offering in the longstanding Battlefield series a goal-scoring Didier Drogba or a bench-bound Steve Sidwell?

Battlefield: Bad Company

By WoLf (gamesxtreme.net)

Wolf tags along with Bad Company to see if DICE's latest foray into the Battlefield series lands with a bang, or lets go in a soft whimper.

Bad Company isn't a revolution in the team-based shooter genre, but it's a great game packed with some humerous moments and solid multiplayer support. DICE's pedigree shows through once more and the lack of Conquest doesn't hinder Bad Company too much!

Battlefield: Bad Company (Xbox 360, PS3) review

By Dominic Sheard (darkzero.co.uk)

It's probably safe for me to say that the console Battlefield game that came out a couple years ago was never as good as the ones released on PC. It suffered from being downgraded, which is what happens to a lot of the multiplayer game ports that get...

Microsoft's Xbox 360 already has masses of First Person Shooters on the shelf, so Battlefield: Bad Company was going to have to do something great to stick out, and it does. It's the best multiplayer game to be released this year and is certainly up...

t shy away from Bad Company, which really has the wrong title because this game will be a great companion for your games collection.

Battlefield: Bad Company

By nofi (thesixthaxis.com)

Prepare to be assaulted, Bad Company is as subtle as a kick in the head, and attempts to do so, visually and aurally, every step of the way. Don’t misunderstand, there’s grace, poise and balance throughout the game, but it's a gritty, explosive title...

Manufacturer's Description


Set in the near future, the Battlefield: Bad Company single-player campaign drops gamers into a dramatic Eurasian conflict. As part of a squad of four soldiers, players risk it all to go AWOL on a personal quest, fighting their own war within the war. Featuring a dramatic storyline flavored with attitude, Battlefield: Bad Company leads gamers far from the traditional frontlines on a wild ride with a group of renegade soldiers who decide that sometimes the gratitude of a nation just isn't enough. The Battlefield: Bad Company cinematic single-player experience captures the freedom and intensity of the videogame's legendary multiplayer sandbox gameplay in a dynamic world where nearly everything is destructible. Gamers have total freedom to be daring and innovative, adapting to and tackling challenges in unexpected "Battlefield-style" ways. Create sniping positions by blowing out a piece of a wall or drive your tank straight through a small house. The ever-changing battlefield forces players, their teammates and enemies to react accordingly. The game also features a full suite of the videogame's trademark multiplayer gameplay, supporting 24 players online. Battlefield: Bad Company is the first game built from the ground up for next-generation consoles using DICE's bleeding-edge Frostbite game engine, delivering unrivaled graphics, effects and gameplay.
