Battlefield 1943 Looking Good

I got a chance to check out the new Battlefield 1943 by downloading the demo last night for Xbox 360.  Although I only put in about 15 minutes, I can say that the game is going to be awesome.

My first impressions was that it felt like a mix of different Battlefield series. Bad Company with the destructive environments, Battlefield Heroes for the arcade like feel and of course, 1942 for the nostalgic eye candy and music.

Bad thing about the game so far was there was no ability to connect to any servers.  EA and Dice are in the process of adding more but you think that they would be ready for it…that was a little disappointing.  With that being said, I wasn’t able to even get on line and check out the multiplayer aspect of the game.

Another thing that turned me off was the flying controls.  When I fly something, I want to put the controller stick back to pull up…this was reversed and I couldn’t find a way to invert it.

So really, it looks like it will be a fun game once the server issue gets resolved.  I mean, you really can’t go wrong with a 15 dollar game which I hope to see some decent replay value in it.
