Doesn't deserve a 10/10, though it still is better than Gears of War: 2. The storyline is interesting, but the actual gameplay itself is boring and the missions are boring.
The online is lagging constantly (no, its not my connection. My connection is 100%), and what's a game these days without online?
If you're a die-hard Metal Gear Solid fan, then I would certainly reccommend it. If you're looking for a good storyline, certainly get it. If you're looking for a game you'll be playing for a long time, don't bother. Buy Modern Warfare, Killzone 2, wait for Modern Warfare 2, or get World at War.
What's great about it: Great controls, interesting cinematics, great graphics, you can do anything you want.
What's not so great: Gets boring, online isn't that good, story gets boring pretty fast.

Best futuristic game of all time, totally beats Gears of War and Halo! Its great, the guns are cool, the physics are realistic, the graphics are the best ever, the storyline is fun and interactive!
The online could be a bit more fun (for some unexplainable reason, not as fun or addicting as Call of Duty: 4).
Great game, worth the buy. I suggest renting it first, though. Some people can't get enough of it, others get bored of it pretty quick. Its your call.
What's great about it: Great weapons, amazing graphics, cool storyline, and massive online play.
What's not so great: The controls, and could get boring after about an hour (depending on who you are).

-Interactive and destructive maps. That is really cool, you can blow holes through absolutly ANYTHING, you can also chop down trees. -Amazing graphics (could hurt your eyes sometimes). -A lot of people play it. -Tons of guns to choose from. -Vehicles are fun.
Cons:
-Story gets boring. -You can knife through fences (seriously?). -Can't go prone (that is sad, especially for an FPS). -Not customizable. -Very few online modes to choose from.
Overall, I wouldn't buy this game. There are other FPS's out there that are FAR more fun than Battlefield Bad Company. Try 'Call of Duty: Modern Warfare' or 'Call of Duty: World at War'. Those two games are amazing.
What's great about it: Great graphics, effects and controls.
What's not so great: You can't go prone, story is boring.

I have Call of Duty: Modern Warfare for my PlayStation 3 and it is the BEST First Person Shooter in the world (my cousins who have served in Iraq even think this game is just amazing). I can guarantee this next game is going to be twice as good. I mean, more maps, more guns, more challanges, I wish I could keep typing but then my fingers would break!
Can't wait, I'm definetly pre-ordering this game for PlayStation 3, no doubt.
Brace yourself for a new set of tricks, tracks and ways to race. The included Wii Wheel transforms your Wii Remote into a steering wheel that feels great in your hands, while the Wii Remote and Nunchuk controller supply a classic control style for veterans of this racing series. Either way, you'll be able to perform impressive speed-boosting tricks, such as jumps, flips and wheelies.You can zip through brand-new tracks and arenas, and also tour classic courses from Super Mario Kart, Mario Kart 64, Mario Kart: Super Circuit, Mario Kart: Double Dash and Mario Kart DS. There are even options for trying all-new motorbikes that have their own special tricks and techniques. The action gets fast, furious and funny when you race in Mario Kart Wii.

Fun once in a while, especially with your friends.

Pros:
Pretty realistic. Its fun to play with the wheel and its good to play with family and friends. You can also play with your actual Mii's in game.
Cons:
Terrible graphics (then again its the Wii), gets EXTREMELY frustrating for the following reasons:
1.) Countless hackers and glitchers online, and Nintendo refuses to patch it up. 2.) Unfair when it comes to getting the Mystery Boxes (somebody right next to me will get a bullet bill and I'll get a bunch of green shells). 3.) Gets boring after a while, you'll play it for a couple months then find something else to do.
If you have temper issues or you are a serious gamer, do NOT buy this game by any means. If you'll play this game once in a while with some buds and you don't really care about winning, get it.
What's great about it: You can play online, its easy to hook-up with friends (online), keeps the family busy.
What's not so great: Hackers, glitchers and more hackers, it can get EXTREMELY frustrating and unfair.

To start off, it's the Game of the Year edition (which means you get the free map pack with it) and it doesn't come with it. I've called over three different stores and companies and NONE of the new shipments came with the code.
Secondly, they need to do something about their friend-to-friend playing. Very few friends will actually be able to play along with you online. Extremely annoying, and I don't care how bad/good the internet connection is for anybody.
Pros
Everything (but the cons I wrote) , the gameplay, graphics, idea, everything about it is amazing. It'll keep you addicted for hours and you won't need another game for a long time.
What's great about it: The gameplay online, guns, set-up, perks, idea and originality.
What's not so great: Can't play with half your friends (even on XBox 360) and Game of the Year edition doesn't come with the map pack.
