Battlefield 1943 - PS3

Pros Cons
Intense action Not enough content
Fantastic multiplayer  
Just plain fun  
Very good, dice and EA

This little bit of DLC is amazing. the online is flawless, the destructable environments are beautifuly done, and It is never boring.
For example, I was playing and was driving a jeep on Wake Island and saw a enemy on the other side of the bridge. I sped up to run him over, but unbekownst to me they had knocked out that bridgeand had others below it. I unfortunatly fell (litirally) right into their trap and when I had to exit the burning vehicle, I was subsequently fragged. All of this with no delays, smooth explosions and great respawn.

But there is namely one significant problem, Only 3 maps! Not enough weapons! and no friendly fire!
But all of this (exept friendly fire) can be fixed in the form of more DLC.

This game deserves 4 and a half stars (but I cant do and a half).

I bought Battlefield 1943 after I played the demo

I would have to agree the game plays more like a store retail purchase and not a DLC. I played it for about 10mins or so and said, "Yes for 15 bones I should buy it and so I did".

Simple and direct online game play, the flying part is not as easy as the run and gun or tank driving. Try the demo first if you like it then just spend the $15 and buy it.

  • 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.
