PS3Vault Review: Battlefield 1943

PS3Vault: ‘Battlefield is a hugely successful pedigree of gaming brilliance. With huge, open maps that are filled with players, tanks and jeeps that are all under a dogfight-dominated sky, it’s easy to see why the game was so successful. Who doesn’t want to bomb people as they’re taking the flag? Who doesn’t want to parachute onto a capture point, skillfully take out the enemies guarding it and secure yourself 30 points, whilst looking awesome and feeling like James Bond’s slightly more badass son?

Well, if you do (and who doesn’t?), BF1943 is the game for you. At just £10/$15 on the Playstation Store, this game is an absolute steal, despite it’s flaws. Just like other Battlefield games, the maps are huge and, if you’ve played Battlefield online before, you’ll probably recognise the maps. It comes with 3, Wake Island, Guadalcanal and Iwo Jima, plus Coral Sea, which was unlocked after 43 million kills was reached and is an Air Superiority only map. Air Superiority is exactly as it sounds – everyone gets in a plane and dogfights. Meanwhile, the usual mode is the zone capture affair you might expect from Battlefield.’
