    This is simply giddy, cartoonish mayhem with an extremely low bar for entry.
  2. If you’re in the mood for something fun and free, then do yourself a favor and try Battlefield Heroes.

    Even with its faults this game is a great value. Other arcade titles with fun, solid gameplay, simple controls, and this many customizable features will run you between $10-$20, but lucky you, you get Battlefield Heroes for free.

    A lively and dynamic version of the series stripped down to the undeniably appealing essentials.
  5. Initially can be interesting, but after you play a few rounds, it quickly becomes boring because of the few options that the game has to offer.
  6. EA DICE presents us a game that comes up with something new concerning the really worn-out issue of war. They have decided to get away from realism und titles like Medal of Honor and Call of Duty. The only negative thing about it is that only online-gamers will have long-term fun clinging to this online game.
  7. You may not be able to argue with its price, but you'll certainly be surprised with how addictive Battlefield Heroes can be.
  8. Without any announcement, Electronic Arts released Battlefield Heroes. Why the secrecy? The free online shooter turns out to be an entertaining game. It's a casual game with almost no tactics to speak of, but it's fast-paced and funny.

    A refreshing enough take on war to make it an entertaining time killer. [Sept 2009, p.98]

    EA are destroying this 'free' game by providing paying customers with 'Uber' weapons. It started as real money for EA are destroying this 'free' game by providing paying customers with 'Uber' weapons. It started as real money for clothes, you could pay to look different. Now - after stating it would never happen - real money gets you stronger weapons... It would have been a score of 8, bad move EA. Play for Free.. Die for Free Full Review »
