    Overall the open sandbox style of gameplay and allowing you the non-linear gameplay to complete the mission in your own way works very well. The character interaction and voice talent is some of the best (even if it is cheesy in the extreme) seen in a while and is fun to listen to. Whilst the single player gameplay is pretty good the single option on multiplay and some of the odd spawn points do detract from it. Now Battlefield: Bad Company isn't a bad game, it just...

    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 Read more

    With its great multiplayer action and fleshed-out single-player campaign, Bad Company really isn't bad at all. Jon Miller lays waste to the destructible environments in Battlefield: Bad Company in this video review. With the release of the free "Community Choice Pack" an extra four maps are now available for use in Conquest mode. The new maps are titled Acta Non Verba, Crossing Over, Ghost Town, and Par For the Course. Read more

    While not a complete success, Battlefield: Bad Company has many plus points, and provides a limited but fun single-player campaign that, while not wholly original, does have some memorable moments. The real prize is found within the multi-player aspect of the game, which will dominate many players' disc drives for months to come. Read more

    Next Gen for some players seams to be all about the graphics.What happened to actual game play with a challenge and on 360 achievements The single player might be a tad short but the online is so addictive it will keep you playing for months.Gold Rush has me playing every night with the occasional foray into Conquest that has just had a free update with 4 new maps.Overall it hasto be 5/5.

    The game is great. Only the sighing on the guns is draw back. The New BFBC2 will fix that and will dominate FPS from here on in as being the most realistic and action packed Outdoing anyother game. Well done BFBC, I can't wait to play the new one on March 2nd you all are awesome, keep up the great work! Long live BATTLEFIELD Read more

    Fun: This review is from: Battlefield: Bad Company (Xbox 360) (Video Game) I saw this game going for an absolute bargain and being an old school FPS player, thought I'd see what all the fuss was about. Then I found out.... The destructabilty factor adds a huge amount to the gameplay. BANG. The house disappears. But its not all about that bang that "makes" the game. Not for me. Its the Single player campaign that does the business. Yes...its a re-work of Kelly's Heroes bu... Read more
