Battlefield 3 XBOX 360 Review

Battlefield 3 claimed it would rival Call Of Duty, I have had a play around with it and can report that in some ways it not only rivals Call Of Duty, it beats it off the screen.
As an RPG, it holds its own, with some great levels. Missions include a gun battle on the streets of Tehran and a dogfight in an F-18.
Centred around missing nuclear bombs and a hunt for terrorists, Battlefield 3 is at times scarily realistic. Dust really does fly!
As an add on, there’s some mini missions that are also a welcome part of Battlefield 3’s make-up. Throughout the game the visuals and audio are impressive.
But it’s the incredible multiplayer action that really makes Battlefield 3 a true contender for this year’s hottest game. You really get the feel that you are in the thick of it, it’s just immense!
You are completely submerged in the game’s action and the way forward is to team up and use everything that may be of advantage to you. From the start, you need to get a good grip of where you are and what might be.
Online, the XBOX 360 can accommodate 24-man battles, and my advice would be to make some friends fast. Working as a team and covering your mates back is the way forward.
This is more of a thinking man’s Call of Duty. The sense of freedom and potential for improvisation is the best thing about Battlefield 3.
Battlefield 3 is not Call of Duty, but in parts it matches its brilliance and then goes own and provides more. Available at Zavvi.
