Bad company was a lot of fun. Interesting story line, the interface was easy to master. Great story line, reminiscent of Kelly's Heroes.

Let's say you created a new battlefield game. Your focus is, as it always was, multiplayer. You've finished making that and put your time into a time-wasting campaign, but somewhere along the line you ruined that plan and made the best singleplayer campaign that any FPS game will ever have.

Cool game. In some ways harder than the BC 2, especially without the big scopes, unless you snap up a sniper rifle. Taking a while to get through on the hardest setting which I love.

Welcome to Bad Company. The specialist branch of the US Military, for… specialists. Blown up the wrong building? Hacked computers and accidentally caused a system meltdown? Then to Bad Company you go. Which actually, is no bad thing.

I guess, ultimately, EA and DICE decided to emphasize the fun factor as opposed to the aspect of tactics, enemy intelligence and realistic combat. Which is fine in our book. You can have a jolly good time with BF: Bad Company just by demolishing half the environment.

The destruction is fun; cool weapons; engaging multiplayer; looks and sounds great

We expected a bit more from the single-player; combat gets repetitive as do the missions; glitchy AI; relatively short single-player campaign

The Metal Gear series has had a bit of a shaky run on the PSP, starting with the bizarre Metal Gear Acid games and continuing with Portable Ops , a game that provides a MGS-lite experience that is held back by a very tedious soldier-capturing system.

The Battlefield series has long stood as one of the champions of multiplayer FPS madness, and now it's time for another instalment to step up to the plate and take a swing at online gaming fun.

Fully destructible environments are great fun; Multiplayer mode is addictive and enjoyable; Bad Company does things differently; and is better off for it

Short single player campaign; Grainy textures ruin the appearance of the game somewhat

EA/DICE's Battlefield series is one of multiplayer gaming's top shelf franchises. When Battlefield: Bad Company was introduced to the gaming public, much attention was paid to the fact that the game would contain a fleshed-out single-player campaign along with the usual multiplayer action.

This is a great game in its own right, with 24-player online matches, fully destructible environments, and a full range of land, sea, & air vehicles in very large maps. All of these things are very impressive for a console, but may be nothing too exciting for fans.

With the gaming public's voracious appetite for wartime blasters showing no signs of subsiding, any shooter adopting a different approach to battlefield carnage should be cherished.
