Closing Comments
Brute Force works well as a rich action-shooter but it just doesn't have the brains to get by as a tactical squad-based anything. The command system and other strategic elements Digital Anvil tried to implement end up seeming out of place because there's so much mindless fun to be had. What it does, it does well with a nice polished look, solid control and slew of other good habits inherited from Halo so it's definitely a good Xbox game to have in your library. It pushes the envelope of system link functionality and meets the multiplayer requirement with ease. I'm not sure if we'll still be playing this years from now the same way we all still play Halo, but this should get us at least halfway through the summer.
Presentation
It's sci-fi for the casual fan, if that makes sense, but the production effort is certainly there. 8.0
Graphics
In the solo game you keep waiting for it to chop up. In the mulitplayer game there's no waiting! Choppiness for all. 8.0
Sound
The voice-acting is good and cheesy while every other sound element is extremely adequate. 7.0
Gameplay
The shooting elements are good, but the squad-based tactics are not. Focus on what it does well and you'll have a blast. 8.0
Lasting Appeal
Lots of multiplayer, co-op and system link options and a hefty campaign with a Halo-like twist make BF a great value. 9.0
OVERALL SCORE (not an average) 8.1

Hier habt ihr´s.Ich bin echt schwer enttäuscht.Vorallem auf das Ruckeln im Coop hab ich echt keinen Bock. :evil:
Ich hab mir von dem Game soviel erhofft...
