Let me start by saying, personally, I think this games is a great FPS/Action game for the money. It's only £10 and has great gameplay and HD graphics. The Trophies/Achievements are easy to get (I got the only gold as my 4th trophy). The only bad thing is that sometimes enemys seem to take forever to go down and only headshots are EVER a 1-hit. I recommend you buy this game, you won't regret it.

I want to know what YOU think. Write a small, single-paragraph review to tell other SGers what it's like.

(At this point I would like to make it clear that BF1943 is a download-only title for the PSN STORE and the XBLA.)

I like it.

-Clean visuals. It's not going to win any awards, but it looks great and works.

-Proficient controls. Maybe it's me, but I always seem to have trouble with FPS titles on the console. I am far less accurate with an analog stick than I am with a mouse. That being said, even I can enjoy the responsiveness of the controls. From aiming with a Garand to flying a Corsair, I feel like I have a solid amount of control.

-Some annoying aspects, such as enemies spending the entire time straffing your team's runway (kinda like spawn camping with fighter jets). It's a pet peeve of mine in these CTF maps. If the point is to capture the flag, that's what you should be doing. Flying over the enemy spawn the whole time dropping bombs on planes annoys me. Straffing aircraft carriers over and over and over again is weak. But that's just me.

All in all, it's a very accessible game, and well worth the pricetag.

It looks great, the style suits it.
Plays great, and vehicles drive fine:)
Very good value, only bad points being that SOMETIMES the maps feel a LITTLE bit small for the amount of players.

While it can be annoying, enemys don't get points for killing anyone on or reasonably close to their (victim's) 'Carrier. I think you get extra points for killing an enemy who is inside ANY of your bases (CP's)

It's great fun and remember it's a market place game or psn game. It's easily the best downloadable game on console i think.

Yep, what he said. Some new maps would be wonderful though :thumbsup:
