So I was really excited about getting this game for my PS3, until I got it and couldn't play it. EA couldn't create an account for me (or log in to my existing one), so I had to contact EA support to correct everything. So after two days of not being able to play the game even though I bought it the second it was released, I was a bit pissed.
Finally was able to log in Friday night to play a couple rounds. Then of course when I logged in again last night, all my stats were erased and I was back to rank 0. Yet again, I was pissed. So I played for several hours last night, getting some awards, etc., and hopefully when I log in again tonight they will all still be there. These issues with EA and the PS3 are really pissing me off, because I had the same issues with Bad Company. It has nothing to do on the PSN side of things....its all EA. The literally have to erase and then recreate my PSN/EA persona everytime I want to play a new game of theirs.
Overall, the game is fun, and plays much like Bad Company except set in the WWII Pacific Theater. The newly improved Frostbite engine makes destructing buildings a little better and there are other small aspects of the game that I find cool. Like the samarai sword (in place of the bayonett), knocking someone over the head with a wrench, taking people out with ease with the rifle, and the flying is easy (or easier if you compare it to previous Battlefield games.
