    At a value price point, the latest entry in the Battlefield series shows that great things do come in small packages. Read more

    • Offers solid shooter mechanics at a budget price by compacting the ideas of the Battlefield series into a deceptively simple package.
    • Lack of maps limits replay value; includes the typical Battlefield series pitfalls such as clunky vehicle physics and lack of feedback about what went wrong when the player dies.

    Despite the lack of game modes and a bare bones class system, Battlefield 1943 differs enough from the competition to make it a worthwhile alternative. Read more

    • Looks great, Land, air and sea vehicles
    • Only one game mode, Limited class system

    The game is also pushed to extremes by unlimited ammo, though you might have to wait a while for your ammo cache to replenish on its own and for the intervals when you’re reloading your weapon. Read more

    Battlefield 1943 is, in my opinion, the best arcade (1200 MS points, or £9.99) fps avaliable on the Xbox360. I would go as far as saying its better than some full price retail games. Read more

    • Very good for an arcade game. Amazing Value for Money
    • Very small amount of maps (4) Little variation in maps.

    • Limited variation in gameplay., No Keyboard/Mouse support, Long load times, No stats/unlocks, Controllers are hard to be accurate, No Commanders/No UAV's, Only 4 maps which wont change, Destructable scenery doesn't injure
