Battlefield: Bad Company 2 is an amazing game that gives you lots of stages to play. Smooth motion and high graphics is so tempting that you can't resist without playing. It costs $ 1.99 and its worth it. Total of 14 stages and each of it has different graphics and weapons to fight. It is recommended to play at high difficulty level.
