Battle Field 2 Xperia Play Review

Battle Field 2 for Xperia Play is now free on the market. Since it was free I downloaded the game and let me say...it's okay. When I first fired it up I was impressed by the graphics. The game looked crisp and I thought "wow, this is going to be great". Then I saw the first enemy and how N64 he looked compared to everything else in the game. They don't look horrible, but they could look much better. I expect more from games these days (even mobile games).
Now the controlls is where the game stutters. You move your character with the left analog pad, and controll the camera with the right analog pad. Aiming down the scope and firing are done with the triggers. Other actions are done with game pads other buttons. The problem I had is with the right analog stick. It doesn;t respond with your movements well. It's overally sensitive and there is no way to adjust it. At first it was unplayable, but I stuck with it. The more I played I realized that it auto aims as long as you are pointing near the enemy. This does make the game playable, but takes away any real challenge since you really don't have to aim.
Overall Battlefield 2 is a mixed bag. It does mix up sequences such as driving tanks and maning a machine gun. This keeps the action from being the same old run and gun. If the controlls were tweaked I would say I love this game. Since they aren't at this time I can only say...I played the game...and then deleted it from my phone to free up space. Of course it is free as of right now(and will be for a few months), so give it a try.
