Blow shit up!

That's how Battlefield: Bad Company can be summed up in a nutshell. While it's no Call of Duty, Battlefield: Bad Company is still worth playing. The main story for the single player campaign is that you play as Preston Marlowe as he, and the rest of his squadmates fight through enemy Russian soldiers to steal gold from a group of mercenaries. Though, it's not really made all that clear why the U.S. is at war with Russia in the first place. The voice acting is done well and the witty banter between the other members of Bad Company is pretty funny. The overall graphics are beautiful, and as stated earlier, you can blow shit up. Every wall in the game can be knocked down with a grenade, tank shell, artillery fire, or by explosives just lying around. The problems with Battlefield: Bad Company that brings it down and keep it from reaching a perfect score is the clumsy vehicle controls and the dumb artificial intelligence. Every time I play this game, it feels like I'm the only one doing the fighting. instead of shooting at the bad guys, the A.I. will just stand there. That can be really annoying, especially when you're up against a tank or helicopter. Speaking of helicopters, they handle like crap. More often than not, you find yourself fighting with the controls just to aim at an enemy who's shooting at you. Despite it's flaws, this is still a good game to have in your video game library. If you get bored with the single player, just go online.
