    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

    This was an enjoyable game by all means. Completed the single player game on both Normal and Hard difficulties. The Multiplayer was great fun also, found it really enjoyable trying to destroy the gold crates. As others have mentioned the AI of the team mates can be very frustrating, I watched one of my team mates fire constantly at an enemy without them dying, while I walk around the corner and die really easy... ... all in all this is a good rental and would recommend...

    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.

    There is very little drama to Bad Company. It is not that type of game. The graphics, however, are quite good, and it's a lot of fun running around blowing up everything in sight. As a parent I like that there is no blood and gore, although it might make war seem a little too fun. You never have to worry about hurting civilians, your companions can't get killed because it would change the story line, and you can die and re-spawn over and over again. The only penalty to...

    Fun: Wasn't brilliant, I must admit, though I think I have been spoiled by COD - MW4. I found the handling ok, but not on par with COD. Also, the target radar wa svery hard to se and sometimes I spent ages trying to find the last person or thing on the screen to destroy. Once again, I don't think this is necessarily a poor game, but after playing COD, a lot of games lack depth, joy-pad set up etc. The ineraction between the squad member was quite humourous, and I did...
