Customer Reviews

Dynamic and smart shooter
Technic view:
The graphic is detailed, clear and homogenous. Comparable with Ghost Recon.
Animation is 1. class.
Between the missions you have video clips which tell the background story and new entry of the mission.
These clips have movie quality and are totally awesome. Best I ever saw.
The sound is perfect. Best with 7.1. You are in the middle of the scene and know exactly what is where.
Gameplay:
You have to perform missions and in the mission several tasks. For each task you get money.
With the money you can buy equipment.
But you are equipped well. A HK36, an M14 Sniper and a Pistol. This is ok for the beginning.
With the money you can upgrade your weapons or buy new ones.
The game starts with a little training ground in which you learn the basics of the game and how to interact
with your partner. During the game you get hints when something is new.
You do not have to bother with maps. When you want to know where to go, activate the GPS and virtual arrows
on the ground show you the way. Very useful.
Saving happens at checkpoints. This is OK. When you have to restart, you do not have do replay too long.
Fun:
The interaction with your virtual partner makes a lot of fun. You also have to move dynamic. If you stay, you find yourself in a munition intensive firefight and be soon in trouble.
If you work efficient together with your partner, you will find your method getting trough quite easily.
Sniping simultaneously with your partner to eliminate guards, exchange weapons with your partner, let your partner fight aggressive so that the enemies mainly concentrate on him. Then you have the chance to go around them and attack them from behind.
These are only a few possibilities.
The story itself is round. Clear beginning and a cool end.
There is also space for a next episode. I'm looking forward to this!
Disadvantages:
You can only play online with guys who have the PAL version.
The game is so dynamic, that you maybe find it hard to stop. As the result, you can get trough in a long weekend play.

Clear recommendation from me.

Nice try but BOO
Nice ideas behind the game etc. But the graphics are truly shocking!!! Looks like Playstation 1. i was stunned. Awful. Surely EA would be expected to polish there games up a bit. I wasnt impressed. Dont bother really.

Two Required
I wasn't sure what to expect with this one, the idea and the COOP play was so inviting it couldn't be ignored. What I wasn't expecting was a nicely polished game, nice graphics, great interativity and gameplay along with a generic yet fun storyline. The interactivity with your partner is great, pulling and pushing each other about, flanking the enemy and teaming together to reach your objective.

Of course the above is all relevant when playing with a friend, which really is a must have experience, I would drop a star for single player. The game works and is designed for COOP play at home split screen, and there it really shines. The single player isn't bad, just standard, there are still nice touches throughout but to experience it at it's best grab a mate and enjoy!
