REVIEW – Battlefield 1943 (XBLA)

I have to confess to not being the biggest fan of first person shooters as I tend to die fairly quickly and often. So it was with a bit of trepidation that I started playing Battlefield 1943. I quickly found out that my trepidation was not warrented as the game is easy and enjoyable to play and offers a suprising amount of depth for an XBLA title.

The first thing to note is that the game is quite limites as it is just one multiplayer mode (12 v 12, Conquest) and limited to 3 maps (4 once coral sea is unlocked later this week). There are only 2 factions and 3 soldier classes, but despite this the game feels immensely varied and is one of those rare games you can either dip into quickly or play for hours.
