Battlefield: Bad Company 2 user reviews (PlayStation 3)

Pros Great graphics! Love the destructable environments!

Cons I wish multiplayer levels / rewards were achievable at a more rapid pace.

Summary The graphics are beautiful! The destructible environments offer alternate solutions to solo play and interesting multiplayer games.

I'm a casual gamer, though. My gaming habits are typically: wait for my fiancé to get in the shower and ready for bed, turn on the Playstation real quick and try to get in a match or two.. So, I kinda wish the multiplayer levels / rewards were a bit easier to obtain. It seemed like when I first started playing Modern Warfare 2, I would sometimes get a couple new weapons/rewards/achievements per match. With Battlefield, it might be a few matches before I achieve anything new. I've had it for a couple of weeks now, and I'm still working on getting my basic class skills and load-outs. I?m sure the more hardcore gamers don?t see this as a problem, and it really isn?t.. I?m just saying that it is slow to get going for those who can?t put a lot of time into gaming.

Still working on the solo campaign too.. but I find it to be very enjoyable thus far. I just assaulted an entire base with my squad. I took out the majority of the buildings, comms towers, guard towers from afar with rockets & grenades. That softened up the base quite nicely and made for an easy assault!

I really enjoy this game. I still really enjoy Modern Warfare 2. They are different and have their own strengths and weaknesses. We can love them both!

Pros It's a shooter and you get a lot of weapons to choose from.

Cons Too short.
Too easy.
Not as funny as the first game.
Vehicle controls suck

Summary My annoyance with this game started at the beginning when I discovered that none of the control layouts allow me to use R2 as the "fire weapon" trigger. The R1 button is just awkward by comparison and it's times like this I wish I was back playing on the XBox - at least it had good controllers which felt comfortable in the hand. Anyway, I loved the first version of this game and rank it in my 4 best, but this is just a poor imitation. The humour which had me laughing out loud in the first is almost completely gone and the whole game just seems to meander along in a typical linear fashion, without ever presenting me with something I have to think hard to complete. The vehicle controls are poor by comparison to some games, and in most of the land vehicles you are the designated driver, when you would probably prefer to be the gunner. This is a good shooter for twelve year old boys, but if you are after something challenging, this is not the game for you.
