Battlefield 1943

We could argue with the 'Not Enough Content' under Cons, because the game is only an Arcade game for the xbox 360 so its not a typical DVD-disc which u would pay full price for.

You have 4 maps to play around with and 3 classes to choose from. Sniper, Rifleman, and a Machine-gunner. (I know it dosent sound much but once you start playing, the addiction level rises quite fast). The graphics and sound effects really do look and sound fantastic too. I like how absolutely all of the environment around you is destructable!

Fly Planes, drive Tanks, Jeeps, even control the air-strike.

I am a little dissappointed about the Achievements with Battlefield 1943, from which i found very simple. Achievements should be Rank based in Rank/Promotional games !! - this brings on more incentive to play. Although they are badges you can earn for certain kill stats etc.

Maybe there should be something more? - but then again it is only cheap to buy, and again its Arcade - very good value for money. Maybe more future content based on high popularity? Desert maps?

Definately worth the buy.

Well worth the money

This game is highly addictive. It has great visuals and huge explosions. There's loads of vehicles to drive (or fly). I like the classes and the maps. It is definately worth the 15 bucks. Lots of replayability.

  • Jul. 6, 2009 Review: Battlefield 1943 (PS3)

    If I didn't know any better I'd have wagered a fat stack of cash that Battlefield 1943 was sold on real-life shelves in a real-life box. Instead, this Xbox Live Arcade and PlayStation Network download boasts the quality of a full-blown retail game at an affordable $15 price. Of course, since this is DLC, some sacrifices had to be made-this means no solo campaign and the lack of AI bots. But that just allowed DICE to focus on what the series is known for: kickass competitive multiplayer and balls-to-the-wall action.
