Here, the critical consensus seems to gather around the sheer size and scale of the product, with the Official Xbox Magazine calling it, "startlingly huge". Graphical fidelity as a barrier to playability? Did anyone ever see that coming? As for Metacritic scores, the PC version stands at 89, Xbox at 84 and PS3 at 86, with few rogue reviewers dropping below the 80 level.Īs for Modern Warfare 3, there are less reviews in right now, but the Xbox version stands at a Metacritic of 90, with PS3 on 88 – the PC average hasn't been calculated by the site yet. With the swirling dust, blinding lights and chunks of freshly-destroyed scenery filling one's immediate surroundings, actually getting a bead on something important can prove challenging. This has its drawbacks - as stated, the graphics make spotting enemies incredibly difficult thanks to how much visual information is crammed into every environment. Running at full spec, Battlefield 3 is a jaw-droppingly beautiful PC game and there's no denying that it's the new leader in terms of raw, unadulterated power. And that's not just a cutting-edge monster PC – as Ryan Winterhalter at 1up points out in his review: Several reviews have pointed out that the wonders of the Frostbite 2 engine are severely reduced on console, and that a PC will provide you with an unparalled graphical experience. The developer, EA Dice, is a veteran PC studio, its heritage steeped in pushing high-end computer set-ups to their limits, both in terms of visuals and multiplayer performance.
Most reviews have also had something to say about the disparity between the PC and console versions of the game. We've said it before of Battlefield games, but the team at DICE know how to create compelling, perfectly paced online experiences.Īnd the score of 9.2/10 clearly comes with the understanding that you're buying a multiplayer game with a campaign and a co-op tacked on for extra value. If you're confident venturing online (and to clarify, it feels much more polished and traditionally Battlefield than the recent open beta) this game is essential. One thing that definitely feels genre-leading is the multiplayer.
