Battlefield: Bad Company is an interesting and action PS 3 game. It is a bleeding-edge Frostbite game engine with a Digital Illusions. The game is about dropping players behind enemy lines with a group of betrayer soldiers who had risk everything on a personal hunt looking for gold and also revenge. Beside this, the game is featured with a special deep, cinematic single-player which will experience full of adventure and dark humor.

    Gold Rush truly is a brilliantly put-together game mode, but it really is the only bit worth buying Battlefield: Bad Company for. The single-player campaign tries hard to please, but ultimately still feels mostly pointless. Read more

    As in Halo 3 Bad Company has a promotional ranking system and as with Call of Duty 4 there are a number of different classes (Assault, Demolition, Specialist, Recon/Support), so the more you play the higher you rank (as long as you don’t keep killing friendlies!) and the more weapons/gadgets you acquire (all the cool secondary & tertiary gizmos like laser targeting systems have to be earned). Combine this with the attraction of the destructible scenery and I expect Bad... Read more

    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 there with Call of Duty 4. It’s a different type of multiplayer to that game, but it’s a worthy investment. It might not feature a class based objective system like Quake Wars, but it’s sure a damn better... Read more

    I bought this in the gold edition for the PS3 last week. The game play is quite realistic but I still think that other games out there on the PS3 still have the edge. The Story mode on the game is good and easy to follow but doesn't last long enough, I completed the game in about 4 hours and I'm rubbish on these things. The Online gaming is good but the problem is that you are limited to what you can play (Not enough variety). All in all its a good game but shop around... Read more

    After loving BF2 on the PC, and then BF2142, I finally have a console equivalent. Bad Company does not disappoint in terms of gameplay, with five balanced classes and great vehicles including tanks and attack helicopters. Graphics are adequate, but the huge maps and incredible audio more than make up for it. The defining aspect, for me, is that this version of BF has its share of "Battlefield moments." These are random events of skill, luck, and hilarity, such as blowing... Read more

    Although its not the top notch game, the game is still great. The campaign seems redundant, all you do is invade places and shoot people. But the variety in locations, pleases your eyes, and brain, so that you have the feeling of difference. Online play also has many locations you may deploy. But still, the people with the higher rank, who are very skillful at the game, also have better weapons. But you could always just slowly rise through the ranks until you have... Read more

    The second EA released battlefield it was a massive hit, selling over 1 million copies in two months. Dice continued forging away, creating battlefield: 2142 and the fantastic PSN game, Battlefield: 1943. We all know that later this year, Dice will grace PS3's everywhere with Bad Company 2, but today we are going to relive the game that changed the fortunes of the Battlefield franchise. Preston Marlowe is the new transfer to "B" Company: Better known as Bad Company. The... Read more
