Worker placement games can often
feel like you're playing by yourself, only occasionally interacting with the other
players, but Peak Oil really keeps everyone engaged with each other, though admittedly with only two
players that effect is
considerably decreased.
Jets also make a rather welcome return to the Battlefield series, although the fact that consoles get
considerably fewer
players per game (24, compared to the PC's 64) it can make the jets
feel a little pointless as trying to take out a
player on the ground can be a bit of a struggle for anyone that isn't willing to dedicate their life to becoming the next Top Gun, but they are bloody useful for taking out tanks, helicopters and, in the case of some bad flying skills, any offending building, tower, tree or mountain.
