First impressions of the campaign were great! Large maps with long missions, noticed that completing the game on hard will not fill in the achievements for normal - which gives it automatic replay value. The range of tools at your disposal is great, varying from your standard grenades to your laser designated missiles of which you control the flight path of, NICE!.
The freedom of how you complete missions is also satisfying, there is no set path to take, meaning you can just blast your way through a wall if your pinned down in one area.
You can drive just about anything, from jeeps to boats to helicopters.
The AI is satisfying, you'll find you need your health pretty often.
Health is too easy to come by, whereas most FPS games, regaining health consists of staying out of the way of any other damage while you recover, BF consists of a little syringe of which you must stab yourself with, an endless supply of 2 button clicked health.
Dying means you go back to your nearest checkpoint similar to most games although any enemies killed on your first run will remain dead, meaning the more times you die the easier it gets. DISSAPOINTING!
Putting all this aside, going AWOL with one of your superiors, a manic explosives expert and a lovesick nerd, all of you with one thing in common, seizing a huge load of gold from enemy mercenaries makes this game very enjoyable.
My Campaign review - 7.5/10
Online play, I found very dissapointing, there is only one game type available - which is similar to Call Of Duty's search and destroy although much larger and much more hectic, all the available perks from campaign mode are available in Online play, such as your helicopters and laser designated missiles but overall I think the online play could of been a lot better.
My Online review - 5/10
There are 50 acheivements available on the 360 version of the game for both campaign and online gaming, they consist of finishing levels on certain difficulties, getting awards in online play and the mother of all achievements for the game - 10,002 kills.
My Score so far: 400/1000
Summary:
Worth buying? Yes but not for its retail price at the moment, still £40.00 in the UK. |
