    Battlefield 1943 (XBLA and PSN)

    Firstly, I definitely enjoyed this! My only complaint is that the trial appears to ONLY have quick match, meaning you can't really experience the game as you would normally do, as (well, I would anyway) I'd almost only exclusively play with friends in games like this.

    I had a lot of fun though, found the weapons pretty balanced, the aircraft pretty good too, though hard to fly the planes. There's tanks, jeeps, gunboats and airplanes.

    I liked the scout class, I really enjoyed popping 3 mines down and waiting in the trees for an enemy tank to cross it, BOOM, vehicle kill +10, kill +10

    Loads stats are tracked...

    Lets face it, if you've played a BF game, you know what you are getting

    I'm gonna buy this so long as my regular "gang" of players do, otherwise it'd be pointless, like any 360 multiplayer experience!

    The trial is timed at 30 minutes, but I played well over that and wasn't kicked so I can only assume the tutorial isn't timed as well.

    I did find it interesting to read that there is a fourth map unlocked via community play, a bit like Noby Noby Boy whereby if certain conditions are met, a new map becomes freely available.

        I do love a good game of BF, but I prefer the more recent theatres. That said, I'll definitely be giving this a whirl!

          Playing this now. So far both games have been incredibly laggy, my guy keeps sliding slowly back to where I was previous.

          Game certainly feels fun though.

            Laggy? I played a full game and experienced literally ZERO lag. Was 8 vs 8, dunno if that makes a difference compared to your experience.

              Yeah it was fine for me too

              I had a little trouble flying the planes on this, It was better when I changed it to southpaw for the planes.

                The planes had me laughing like a lunatic. I kept taking off, forgetting the control methods and turning into a loop whilst heading straight for the water.

                I had to laugh when I died and got "Suicide -10" twice for the one death!

                  My brother was uploading on the broadband whilst I was trying to play, so it could explain why i've had lag. I'm going to wait untill later when he's finished uploading and the broadband's free. At least it isn't a problem with the game!

                      can't connect to the EA server... i just hope this game isn't IP locked...

                      is this game playable online only?

                        Yeah, it's online only.

                        Even the training "loads" a match...
