Definitely worth the 15 dollars
User Rating: 9 | Battlefield 1943 PS3
Alright, let me start off by saying that this game plays a lot like Bad Company. If you liked or loved Bad Company like I did then you'll definitely like this one. The destructive environments are fun, and EA always amazes me with how great the water effects look. Anyway, you can use an array of weapons including the thompson, type 100, colt 1911, nambu, and the m1 garand. There are three classes which are infantry which use the sub machine gun and have a bazooka for anti-tank combat, rifleman which use the m1 and have rifle grenades, and the scout class which uses the springfield rifle and remote charges that are great on buildings, bridges, and tanks. You can hop into the cockpit of an American Sherman or a Japanese tank, a Zero plane or whats looks like a Mustang (maybe it's a Hellcat I have no idea I'm not good with planes), and various jeeps with machine guns. The vehicles are fun to drive but the jeeps are twitchy and can fly you into the water or a ditch if you're not careful and the planes are a lot of fun to pilot. The plane gameplay is fairly easy to learn but you have to have patience because you have to get used to how each plane flies. If you are going to have a dog fight, make sure to lead your target, as your bullets will go behind them if you shoot right at them. You can also use air support from bunkers where you fly three bombers and drop a bunch of bombs on a target too. My only gripe is that the thompson feels like a toy, like some sort of air soft gun. The type 100 feels a little weak as well. The bazooka is underpowered, however if you hit a tank from the back it'll go down in two shots with full health. Overall, this game is a lot of fun and worth the $15 because you will probably put several hours into it.
