Battlefield 2, only recently shipped for the PC, has scored an impressive 9.3 in a review over at Gamespot. This will come as somewhat of a redemption for the game which received a reasonably unexpected 8.9 over on IGN a few days ago.You can catch both a video and written review over at Gamespot. The video is narrated by Jason Ocampo and you can stream it here.
The Written review can be found here.
The beauty of Battlefield 2 is the fact that, like its predecessors, it has a totally unpredictable nature to it. It's completely unscripted and chaotic, but in an awesome way. There are simply so many insane, over-the-top moments that can happen in a single game that you quickly lose track. In any given match, you can have a dozen desperate firefights, countless moments when a rocket or bullet whizzes by your head, and the proud sense of accomplishment when you and your squad overcome the odds and achieve your objective. You'll see feats of audacious daring as someone flies a helicopter through a city's streets or runs up to plant explosives on an enemy tank that's mowing down your colleagues. You'll experience the hellish shelling of artillery, see the desperate revival of wounded colleagues, and be killed a dozen grizzly ways. And yet, through it all, you'll find yourself coming back for more.
