Summary
A stunning and explosive first-person shooter, Battlefield 3 doesn't quite tip the scales with innovation, but its multiplayer and overall presentation is enough to give its competition a run for its money.
We like
- Looks and sounds like a Hollywood blockbuster
- Multiplayer battles are epic and explosive
- Multiplayer maps are well-crafted
We dislike
- Single-player mode is generally mediocre
- Poor A.I. leads to frustration
- Some graphical pop-ins and minor texture issues
