Yeah, I know it's a little weird to write a review for a demo, right? Well, sometimes a demo is all you need to convince yourself to drop the $60 at your local game retailer.
Brent and I just checked out the demo for Battlefield: Bad Company. If the demo is any indication to how great this game is going to be, then I advise you to head down to your favorite game store, and grab a copy of what's going to be the next great entry in the military shoot-em up series.
Taking a cue from Call of Duty 4, in terms of graphics and gunplay, this game promises a greater experience than the original Battlefield. With better graphics than it's predecessor, and better gameplay, Battlefield: Bad company adds to the original with more guns, more fun, and more things to blow up. The shoot-em up trifecta!
The single player portion of the demo has you essentially playing the Prologue; where you meet your new squadmates, and quickly engage the enemy. The game just throws you into the action.
The single player portion is pretty lengthy as well. Brent and I took about 30 minutes to finish it, considering we must have been blown up and shot up several times, as we were just enjoying the awesome detail of everything from the flowers in the field, to the buildings that hide our enemies. The single player demo ends with your character and his squadmates learning the identity of the enemy: a rogue mercenary organization, where members are paid in gold. And, it's that gold that'll drive the main character and his squad as they track down and destroy this new enemy.
While graphically, the game looks more and more like Infinity Ward's last Call of Duty game, Battlefield adds to the fun factor by allowing the player to ride several different vehicles, use a huge assortment of guns, and pretty much blow up anything that gets in your way. And, that's just in the demo.
As I type this, Brent's checking out the online multiplayer feature of the demo. The online multiplayer! Yep, Battlefield 2's demo's got us blowing up our online competition, without having to actually purchase the game.
If the demo's any indication as to how great this game is going to be, it's a safe bet I'll be spending the rest of June sending rogue terrorists to an early grave.
Battlefield: Bad Company hits stores June 23rd. Not nearly soon enough. But, considering how fun the demo is, I'll have plenty to keep me busy until the game's actually released-always the best indication of a great demo.
