MY FUCKIN GOD THIS GAME IS INCREDIBLE !

It’s not often I’ll pick up a game and am impressed right from the beginning … in fact … that hasn’t happened since I first opened oblivion for my 360 and before that was fable on my xbox … before the was Zelda : Ocarina of time, and before that … I can’t remember that far back actually … thats already like 10 years I’ve remembered back.

Fuckin hell…games have come one hell of a long way in 10 years … but anyway back to the shit bout B:BC

——

The game starts by installing some information to your hard drive (becoming a common occurrence of late with PS3 games, but its not half as bad as the DMC4 install that took good chunk of my life I’ll never get back sitting waiting for that motherfucker to install), but once its installed you get a quick little movie style scene, flying through clouds and shit … it looks gorgeous and to be honest, i even put my beer down I was that impressed and open mouthed at the gorgeousness (don’t know if you need HD and 7.1 for it … i do so it prob helped a bit) .. then the game starts, you find out who you are (Preston Marlowe) and you get a few basic exercises to get ready, look around, duck, get to your squad mate and then grab a weapon with a little driving involved too.

I’m not gonna go into detail about it as thats not fair to people who aint played it, but it sticks to what it needed to …

Seeing as though the game lept from a decent online shooter, to now a rather splendid console FPS with great online gameplay, the graphics are gorgeous in my eyes, and seeing as though I’m not a big fan of FPS games like this (don’t get me wrong … i love FPS games, just more into different ones and not war based ones … i love stuff like the Halo trilogy, that kinda FPS), I absolutely adore this game.

So Why’s it called ‘Bad Company’

That’s simple, its called that because you’re small 4 man team (made up of sweetwater, preston – you, haggard and sarge) aren’t exactly role model recruits, their the kind you’d throw in and not care if they were KIA, or kidnapped, they’re the people who fuck up so much but by throwing them out you lose yourself some good patsies … so you put them in bad company. BC (what I’ll call Bad Company from now on) are the guys you see going in first, cleaning up the area, doing all of the real work, before the others come in to claim the glory of your work.

The Bad Company … er … Company
Sweetwater – the cowardly whinner who complains about pretty much everything, but never shuts up

Haggard – a hillbilly who loves to watch the pretty little sparks fly as he blows something to smithereens

Sarge – Just 3 days away from leaving the army, struggling to keep the team together, but at the same time, is desperate to get the job done quick to help his fishing trip come even sooner

Preston – you … you don’t exactly fit in, but by god … you do most the work

The game is full of random crap, loads of jokes and references to other shit from these 4 pissed off guys who decide why not go after the loot themselves. Each soldier’s personality is something that stands out, each are unique and to be honest make the experience something a little different from your ordinary war game. For example, early in the game after you take out some anti-air turrets, you have sarge on the radio to HQ getting more orders, and behind him sweetwater and haggard playing rock paper scissors … its something of a change and its something that adds alot more character to this game.

I’ve no doubt that this game will only continue to get better for me over the time I’m playing it both as a standard FPS and online. and 2bh, I fuckin love it.

O and the best bit … it only cost me 96p thanks to store credit at gamestation lmao … the game has everything, guns, explosions, a bit of relaxing banter … its generally something that you want to play…whether your into fps’s or not … just go rent it from your local rental shop or something, you won’t be sorry .. and if you are … then well … i’m sorry lol
