This is probably the best Battlefield yet. It is ultra realistic and almost anything can destroyed. Each map has its own unique advantage for each class. Example: Large maps caters to snipers & small maps gives demolitioners a upper hand. The action is intense and very exciting but there's a couple of problems that I wish they have enhance. i.e. There's only 1 mode to play and that is attack & defend base. There's no deathmatch, team death match, capture the flag, king of the hill, etc...But the game is still extremely enjoyable. I definitely recommend this to all shooting fans that enjoys ultra realistic game play.
What's great about it: Realistic, Huge Maps, Lots of Guns & Vehicles, Fast & Intense Action
What's not so great: Some loading time, only attack & defend base

If you have the first one, then this one is just a continuation. There's not much improvement except different maps and storyline. The game's AI is still dumb. For example, if you kill one enemy at one spot, they all stack up to the same spot and you get easy kill. There's another instance where they will notice you right away (even in stealth mode) from a far distance. It's definitely a rental game unless you are into the multiplayer mode.
What's great about it: Storyline, Multiplayer, fun maps

This is definitely one of the best FPS. The graphics are amazing and I've been hooked since I got it. Campaign mode is a little short but its still good enough to make you play 2 or 3 more times. The online gameplay is great if you are a big fan of online. 5 of 5 stars for me.
What's great about it: Graphics, Gameplay, Sound, Fun Multiplayer
What's not so great: Campaign too short but Online play makes it up

This game is really fun. Anyone can pick it up and start smashing combos with a lot of cut scenes. If you are into graphics this game is definitely one. Although the game is a little short it is still fun. 8.5 out of 10 for me.
What's great about it: Amazing Gaphics, Crazy Combos, Fun

NBA Live 08 can't even compare to 2k8. They added & fixed tons of animations. They also added a 3 point contest and dunk contest this year. It is fun but a little difficult to learn. It will take some practice before you can actually do some sick dunks. You can place objects like dunking over a car, a chair, etc....My only problem with the game is cloth system. Sometimes it gets distorted and it will flip inside out but its not as often. A.I. is smarter than last years. They adjust a lot of times so you have to keep making them guess if not they can read your plays. This is a good game I give it 8.3 out of 10. If they fix the minor issues it would have been a 9 out of 10 for me.
What's great about it: New animations, deeper association mode, dunk contest
What's not so great: some cloth problems & some what hard to learn in the dunk contest

Could not set up or get help doing so
BythatoneladyfromMilwaukee, WI
The salesperson said that setup was nearly automatic, but when i put in the settings copied from my old router, it didn't work. Geek Squad did not help. First they said I could pay them to come set it up. I refused on that one so they suggested I call NetGear. I reached a person on the other side of the planet in a half hour or so. He informed me that my problem was not covered by their 90 day free support and I had to pay him before he would talk to me. I just paid $80 for a product that didn't work as advertised. Now Best Buy and NetGear both want more money to see if they can make it work. Back to the store it goes. I will exchange for a Belkin or Cisco.
