    A great single player Battlefield game. Fast action, nice controls, great graphics and fun gameplay. But it is a bit short. Overall rating: 7.5.

I’m surprised the hyper leftist pearl clutchers haven’t jumped on this because it’s not politically correct, but isn’t grossly offensive for no reason either. It’s true to prime time crime dramas if that makes sense. Stupid shoot ‘em up cops and robbers with some stealth elements. It could be better, but we’re obviously never gonna get a follow up so just enjoy this one and ignore the haters.… Expand

    Incredibly subpar. Not "bad," just not good.

    I've always liked the idea of a different Battlefield game, especially multiplayer-wise. Not a war setting, something different. This does that, and it's just OK. The campaign is, IMO, Battlefield's worst ever. Predictable, bland, and just straight-up not very fun to play at all. The lack of originality or creativity is straight-up nuts.

    Despite its new ideas and innovations, the Battlefield Hardline game has its weaknesses, including the very bad artificial intelligence of the enemies, not so good graphics, glitches and bad ending, which do not allow the new Battlefield game to shine as it should

    This game is actually quite good in my opinion. It's very different from the other titles in this series since it's not about war, but rather about being a cop in Miami. Despite this shift from what Battlefield has always been known for, Hardline pulls it off quite well.

Multiplayer is the same as always, albeit with a different setting. After all these years it's still active, which is a wonderful surprise. I'd recommend it to anyone who is a fan of the franchise but was skeptical of the premise of it.… Expand

    Battlefield Hardline is the series' take on the cops-and-crooks genre. Its campaign takes the form of a campy TV cop show. Think a bad "Miami Vice" ripoff. The multiplayer modes play out much like previous entries, but with "Grand Theft Auto"-like objectives. Online matches are faster-paced due to the sports cars and smaller maps. Unfortunately, the game is inferior to Battlefield 4. ItBattlefield Hardline is the series' take on the cops-and-crooks genre. Its campaign takes the form of a campy TV cop show.

There's also some minor detective elements, like scanning enemies and searching for clues. Some of the level design, especially the interiors of luxury houses, are pretty great. The story is a hodge-podge of police drama good-cop/bad-cop tropes. There's fun to be had, but it's a lukewarm experience overall. The game also commits the unpardonable sin of long unskippable cutscenes. This game isn't a waste of time, but there are far superior FPS games you should probably play first.… Expand

    Hmmm... had a mixed feeling about this game. On the one hand, it was funny to play as a cop, and time by time try to use stealth and try to arrest the enemies instead of blasting one by one. However, I feel that the gameplay and story were very mediocre, felt like the game was released in the rush. if I would be the one who spent on this game 60 EUR would be disappointed.

    Smooth audio and graphics. Still looks good even when compared to more recent releases.

    Fun single player campaign with great story, characters and acting.

    Really fun multiplayer although due to its age there not necessarily many servers to choose from.

    Definitely worth getting for both single player and multiplayer fun.

    For one, the Single Player was kinda ‘meh.’ It has some twists and plots that were kinda known during some points of the cut-scenes and you could already predict what could happen next. The single player experience was more on the lines of ‘Battlefield: Bad Company’ style. The acting/cast was decent and it even had some humor parts. At the end of the single player campaign, it leads you with a plot twist, which they will probably pick the story back up in Battlefield: Hardline 2. The campaign achievements are somewhat easy to get, you can get one for every mission/episode you complete (there are 10 episodes/missions). The best part about this game is that you can either run and gun throughout the game or you can stealth this whole game and arrest everyone you see (I tried to do this) and feel accomplished. The single player could have been longer and it could have even setup a better way to start Battlefield: Hardline 2 (if they are even making it in the future).
    Multiplayer in this game like with other Battlefield games, the servers are stable… More stable than other DICE/EA games to be completely honest. The game modes normally fit in within the whole ‘Robber Vs. Cop’ theme, you have Blood Money, Heist, Bounty Hunter, Rescue, Crosshair, Hotwire and a few other Battlefield game modes. Basically the same game modes you see in other Battlefield games and a few new ones here and there. The maps are pretty large, destructible, and diverse ranging from the Everglades in Florida (w/ air boats) to the streets of downtown LA (w/ building to building action).
    To me the game is worth the $22 dollars (w/ Premium), but it was not worth $60 for those who purchased it for that amount. You are basically buying a reskinned Battlefield 4 game, but with a ‘Robber Vs. Cop’ theme which they could easily introduced it into Battlefield 4 as new DLC or a standalone game that works with Battlefield 4 in the background for about $30 or so dollars.    … Expand

    On the one hand, if you look for a shooter to play in solitary, you can consider this production completely inadequate. On the opposite side, however, we have a multiplayer that works at times, and in its imperfections and its chaos still managed to entertain.
