My bad, Bad Company review.

4 out of 5 starsScore: 80/100

Battlefield: Bad Company is a simple first person shooter. And a fun one at that. You play as a guy how has done a horrible crime and now has to serve his nation in a squad called Bad Company. Your squad-mates consist of a demolition guy who is obsessed with explosions and a nerd that, apparently, is good with shooting.  Your leader is a guy who has experience with the army, but is in here because he wants his terms cut short. Your mates are easy to love and the story is enough to keep you going. That being said, the campaign isn't that long, about seven hours. There is not much replay value, other than trophies. There is also a multiplayer mode in Bad Company. There are two modes- Gold Rush, and Conquest (conquest came in a patch). Gold Rush is about either saving or destroying gold, depending on which team you are on. Conquest is about capturing curtain parts of a map and keeping that place (Similar to Starwars: Battlefront). Over-all the modes are pretty fun, but, it's too bad there are only two modes when they could have done much more with this. Over-all, the game may not have you busy playing for long, but it's a great ride when you are on it.
