great first person shooter
Single player is taken a bit differently than many other FPS's because it is not super serious. It has a more kicked-back feeling which is great because I found myself feeling stressed with the campaign modes of other FPS like Call of Duty 4. The humor keeps it in this mood all the while.
Multiplayer is Battlefield multiplayer for sure, but with a new game mode to keep things fresh. A few weeks before release I was worried that Gold Rush would be bad, but rest assured, it's been done well. Work your way towards new unlocks, a higher ranking, and some achievements. That should take up your summer.
Graphics are great, especially considering the destructable environments. The framerate holds up under a lot of things going on and the only lag you'll encounter will be online due to connection. Even then you won't encounter this issue much. The sound is also very good. Occasionally, however, you will encounter a glitch in it where the gun on a tank suddenly sounds different due to environment but doesn't feel all that well implemented if it was intentional.
So what you've got is a good shooter that takes itself lightly, adds to the genre and the series, and will keep you busy for a long while. The perfect summer game in my book.
