Review:
Storyline
Not that a storyline matters because this game is all about the killing. Yeah for WAR!!! Depending on who you choose to be, the stories will vary. I played back and forth between NATO and the Chinese. Basically its defend or attack, and while the missions are kind of short they are packed with action.
Gameplay
Battlefield 2 has a lot going on, so its not a sit and wait shooter. Its a "you better be moving or you're dead" shooter. The "Hotswap" function really added to the games fun factor, and makes you think about how to complete the missions. The weapons and vehicles are realistic, especially the helicopters. I was nauscious a little bit just from the realism of turning and shooting and flying. Auntie Emme its a twister. Toto we're not in Kansas anymore are we? Seriously, the helicopters were definately my favorite thing to be in except for when you get shot out of the sky by a Stinger mounted on the ridge. You'll hear the missle lock beeping and you can't do a thing about it.
Graphics
The graphics are very good. Seeing the ground spin out of the helicopter window in first person is kind of scary. Uniforms were tight and looked good from up close. Scenery was real enough for such a fast paced game.
The Bottome Line
EA does two things great, sports and war. This is a very fun game to play, and with the added multiplayer capability its like being in a fight simulator. The missions are kind of short, but intense! There are a lot of enemies to shoot at with all the toys you accumulate. Go Get it!!!
