This game is great.The ability to blow up almost anything was VERY enjoyable.The downside though was that the online play is CRAP.There's only one game mode, very hard to kill people, and just downright frustrating.But if you don't have Xbox Live than this game will provide hours and hours of fun.I bought the Gold Edition and there was honestly really no difference from this and the regular game (except that it comes with some code and a pretty cool poster)so over all a must by for anyone that likes first person shooters.
When we first got this game, my son (15) used to play it all the time, then somehow the game makers or somebody took away "conquest" (). gameplay for multiplayer, and he doesn't play it anymore.
The AI leaves a little to be desired, they all seem like crack shots once you've been spotted. The single player campaign isn't terribly difficult but it is quite fun. Although I wouldn't recommend going with the Gold version, I would recommend the game. Multiplayer is pretty good, lots of things to unlock and lots of achievements to get. Funny storyline, good acting and the ability to blow everything us is a hoot. I liked the varied weapons and vechicles. Lots of different classes to have your soldier be and they did a good job giving you points for doing different things (defending, being a medic, engineer reparing tanks). [.].
The game is fine and the goals are simple, but we get staggering lag that prevents us from enjoying the game. I love the battlefield series and this game is no exception. The visuals are great even on a non-HD TV. I think it will be great.The only con I could find, for at least the first few hours in, is the multiplayer segment. Since I have not played too much multiplayer, I have not been able to enjoy the benefits of the gold edition. The destructible environments are worth the stray shells everytime.
So, that being a small worry for most players, the game is worth every penny. It took a little bit to get used to the xbox controller coming from the other battlefield series on the computer, but overall it was easy and worth it. It might just be our location, because I know from experience that the battlefield series has always excelled in the multiplayer segment if not dominated. There is just something about mowing down a forest trying to get the flanking teams while you are being rushed. I heard the BC:2 is supposed to be a little better. P.S.

The only good thing about it as far as I'm concerned is that a threat to take it away from him will cause him to behave briefly until he can glue himself to it again. I bought this for my 13-year-old son after much nagging. I think his adoration of this game is increased by the fact that I abhor war and violence. He is in love with this game. I haven't been able to get him off of it since we got it. He likes to play online when I'm with him and to get "killed." It combines the wonderful world of gross out your mother with driving tanks. He's enchanted.
