IGN: Battlefield: Bad Company Review

8.0 Presentation
The menus are a little old school, but they’re well-constructed and easy to navigate. Story is serviceable but nothing spectacular.
8.5 Graphics
The destruction is impressive and with the frenetic pace of the action you’d expect framerate issues but there are very few to be found. Odd film grain filter might turn some off.
9.5 Sound
Some of the lines are a little cheesy but the overall design is among the best I’ve heard. The HDR audio produces fantastic effects and the music is as good as ever.
8.5 Gameplay
Very fun and intense multiplayer action is hurt a bit by a few design choices in the campaign mode. Still enjoyable and worth your time if you’re into the genre.
8.5 Lasting Appeal
Eight levels for multiplayer might seem a bit lacking in number but they’re fun enough to keep you playing for some time. The campaign, while short, is still fun.
8.6
Great OVERALL
