Customer Reviews

Good, if you can get it cheap.
This game has been around since early 2006, so, as you can imagine, the graphics are a bit dated. I would say they are slightly worse than oblivions graphics. The single player is alright, nothing special, online is where this game really shines. If you can get this for around £20 it's well worth it.

A STUNNING GAME !!
Battlefield 2 for Xbox 360 is very addictive. The game can be hard at times & dying just at the wrong time can be frustrating, but it never discourages me from playing at all. The missions are varied, graphics are stunning & very detailed, & the audio is totally amazing.
The variety of gameplay is a real highlight. Hotswapping, for example, allows you to switch from one member of your team to another almost instantly, done by pressing the X button. This works brilliantly, & it gives you the chance to view the battle from many points on the map.

Special mention must go to the handling of the vehicles. The tanks feel satisfyingly heavy to drive, while Hummers are faster & more manouverable.

Overall a superb game, & a great way of showing what the xbox 360 is capable of. One of the very best.

Made for online
OK, So what to say that has not already been said? This is the ultimate war game.

I will start off with the online mode, as this game was designed for online play only... It was only once it got moved to xbox360 et al that the game got a single player mode.

Online, you have the choice to set up your own map (which to be honest i have not done) or you just press the quick play option.. my preferred choice. You are then connected up to the servers and after a short loading time, you are chucked into the action- this is usually at your HQ, if you join the game at the start. If not, if your team has captured any of the other flags on the map, you can start from there, just ensuring you are in the thick of the action straight away. A quick note about the game itself... you can be happily walking along, and then all of a sudden you are dead... is this frustrating? Yes it most certainly is, but at the same time adds quite a bit of realism to the game, whether you stand on a land mine, killed by a helicopter you never saw (or heard) coming, or a sniper from a mile away, just shows what sortof dangers are inherent in being in a theatre of war. I am not particularly good at this game... sometimes i do pretty well, but on the whole i am a bit naff, but the funny thing is, this takes no enjoyment away from the game. It is still great to be in the thick of action, whether you are camped at a base, or out on the streets. It is just superb.

Single player:

This can be frustrating, and would be better to think of it as a refresher course on the little details in the game. The AI in your team, can be best described as total (*&*&ing idiots, but if you view this as a FPS, designed to be played on your own, then you can pass it off as a moderatley good fun episode. Considering you do get to fly helicopters in the single player game, and board boats and the rest of the vehicles, it is really not a bad FPS, but certainly not as immersing as other games. This is an extra to the Console game, and as not on the PC version, so you can say to yourself that it is an extra game in itself to what it was originally designed for, however this is not a game you should buy for the single player, as it is not intuitive. You buy it for the online game, and is by far the best online game i have ever come across, whether it be on PC or console.

My thoughts are that even the 'great' online games do not even come close to this for sheer entertaining, seat of your pants fun... this includes doom URT, and even the MMORG's which i do love, so not come close to this for pick up ability, and absorbtion into the game.

If you have xbox live, you should have this game.
