Quick Battlefield: Bad company Review

Published July 21, 2008
4 out of 5 starsScore: 80/100
Story:
So In Battlefield: Bad company you play a soldier called Preston, You've been sent to war because he's been bad. He's joined by other squad mates who have also been sent there for being bad. Thats why its called bad company (hehe) The game sends you on numerous objectives to help beat the russians.

Gameplay:

The gameplays very fun, you can kill russians with a various amount of weapons such as, Sniper rifles, RPGS, Machine guns, shotguns, pistols etc.
Some guns can fire grenades which is very handy,  So if theres an enemy in a house and you cant get to him, then you can just blow a hole in the house then take him out.
Theres alot of vehicles to such as, Boats, Helicopters, Trucks, Golf buggies (lol)
There all alot of fun to use and control well.

Sound:

The sound is very good in this game, the sound of the grenades, shooting and vehicle weapons sound fantastic which adds to the game. There are radio stations that you can listen to in the vehicles which ive not heard alot of because its been there quiet for me.

Graphics:
The graphics are decent, there not amazing like other games such as gears of war but its pretty decent. The explosions are nice and character models are well done. But the enviroment isnt amazing its fine but just seems a little grainy. The water looks nice, like when  you shoot it.

Online:

The onlines pretty fun, you chose a character class such as demoltion, which is a very powerfull class to use. theres also a healer type class which drops medi packs for your squad mates, and you can repair damaged ally vehicles. If you kill alot of enimies you get Experiece which will eventually level you up, with that you can unlock new weapons and have a higher role eg sergent commander etc.
Theres only one game mode, Gold Rush which is split into two teams, one team must search and destory the opponents gold crates There called the Attackers. The other team is the deffender who must protect the golden crates from oncoming opponents this team is called the deffenders.

All in all Battlefield: Bad company Is a great game with a fun story which will last you 10+ Hours, which you may want to complete the story multiple times, going through harder difficulties and searching for golden crates and colletctibles which you might of missed. then theres the online which adds to the fun. Making this a great game and one any FPS fan should buy.

*5 STARS OUT OF 5 * Giant Bomb got this one right for sure.

Sorry for any typos or any mistakes in a rush hehe
