#PIXEL 3 BATTLEFIELD 3 PS2#
It seems that unless EA and DICE sort this, without a bona fide hard drive, you’re getting BF3: PS2 Edition. BF3, you see, refuses to recognise the 4Gb internal Flash memory as a legitimate storage device, and will not attempt the installation. Problem is, that so far it seems that if you have a 4Gb Xbox, you might be screwed. The SD textures look so bad that you will not want to play BF3 with them. The real textures come by way of an optional 1.5 Gb installation taking around three minutes. Check out this video I made and you’ll see what I mean. I’m talking standard-def, last-gen or worse here. For whatever reason, the Xbox 360 version of Battlefield 3 that runs off the main disc uses a seriously downgraded texture set for a noticeable amount of the game’s graphics. My position clear, let’s get on with this, shall we?įirst, one very important point.

I will however, be breaking things down a bit in my text so that you can contextualise what the final number means for you personally. So the question is, does one ignore the crap and rate the game based upon the best bits, or take Battlefield 3 as an overall package and adjust the score accordingly? I’m going to have to do the latter, because Battlefield 3 is an overall package, and a review cannot simply be written for a selected group of gamers. The other, despite looking very pretty and seeming to have the best of intentions, is a formulaic, often-shambolic mess of a thing, which stumbles into the territory of the downright broken at times. One of them (and arguably the one that most of the series’ core fanbase are interested in) is very, very good indeed. You see Battlefield 3 is really two separate games fighting for attention in the same package. All of this combined, should you be picking up Battlefield 3? Find out in our Battlefield 3 Review.

Tricky review to write, this one! Tricky review indeed.
