If you’re in the mood for something fun and free, then do yourself a favor and try Battlefield Heroes.
Read Full Review >IGN
A lively and dynamic version of the series stripped down to the undeniably appealing essentials.
Read Full Review >GamePro
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.
Read Full Review >Eurogamer Portugal
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.
Read Full Review >GamingXP
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.
Read Full Review >GameTrailers
You may not be able to argue with its price, but you'll certainly be surprised with how addictive Battlefield Heroes can be.
Read Full Review >GameStar
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.
Read Full Review >PC Format
A refreshing enough take on war to make it an entertaining time killer. [Sept 2009, p.98]
PC Gamer UK
There's too little vim and variety to rival the great online shooters, but Battlefield Heroes is definitely worth a look. [Oct 2009, p.80]
PC Zone UK
Early levels too underpowered. [Christmas 2009, p.87]
DarkZero
Give the developers some money for their hard work. It’s just kind of sad that such a great game makes you feel like such a mug for actually paying for it.
Read Full Review >Cynamite
This online shooter motivates with its experience system, but only four maps won't keep you interested very long.
Read Full Review >LEVEL (Czech Republic)
Battlefield Light - low hardware requirements, fast action, various characters and free of charge. You have to keep in mind the lack of maps and permanent problems with overloaded servers though. [Aug 2009]
Vandal Online
This is not the best multiplayer game around there, neither it is better that other entries in the Battlefield saga, but it is a good effort to make the game available to a wider public.
Read Full Review >Everyeye.it
Battlefield Heroes is a casual gamer title. All the Battlefield series hardcore gamers will find this title pretty boring and poor of contents and tactics. But it's completely free-to-play, so it worth a try from everyone.
Read Full Review >Multiplayer.it
Ok It's for free and that's good, but the balance issues, the small number of maps and some not well designed features make it a missed opportunity.
Read Full Review >Eurogamer Spain
Battlefield Heroes is fun at the beginning, but lacks the necessary depth to become a reference on this genre.
Read Full Review >Gamer.nl
Battlefield Heroes is obviously aimed at the casual gamer. It won't satisfy hardcore gamers as its simplicity and gameplay limitations cause a lot of frustration.
Read Full Review >Gameplayer Sweden
Battlefield Heroes does quite a good job when it comes to entertaining the players for a short while, but with only a few maps and not that many weapons this "Free 2 Play" game comes a bit short. The game offers not that much diversity and if you want to spend your money on microtransactions there is mostly just new outfits to choose from.
Read Full Review >Eurogamer
Someone somewhere is punching the air and whooping at their enjoyment of machine-gunning pseudo-Nazis while dressed like Elton John, but me, well, I'm hoping I'll soon move on to other, rather more evolved experiences.
Read Full Review >Total PC Gaming
As casual as a Saturday night dancefloor encounter. [Issue#23, p.49]
Edge Magazine
Heroes consistently relies on its cartoon charm to plaster over its messier elements. [Sept 2009, p.92]
Destructoid
The game we've been presented with works against itself more often than it does not.

Johnny R. gave it a7:
Fast paced. Lots of action. only 5 maps and games can go quick with skilled players. No lag to speak of with a good connection and PC. As with any game with a chat screen you will find jerks. No problems finding a game and if you are a good player everyone want to be on your friends list.
