A solid game with amazing storytelling and campaigns to induce a true bout of motion sickness.

User Rating: 8.5 | Call of Duty 2 X360
What a great game. I rented this alongside Farcry Predator Instincts - and I'm glad I did. This is the second FPS game I've played on my 360 and had a great time doing it. The control mechanism is on-point.

This is the first Call of Duty I've played through and I couldn't appreciate the progression through missions and campaigns more. What a joy to be able to focus on the story and your impact on events without having to be concerned about reloads and replaying parts of a mission. That was put to a minimum with this title - and my understanding and immersion into the COD2 world was deep.

About 3/4 way through the game though I started to get anxious and wanted the game to end. I honestly couldn't kill anymore. I felt like that's all I was doing - and though I understand death in the context of the time line and genre of game I was playing I was simply overwhelmed. I put the controller down and came back the next day. Not fun.

My thoughts on that reaction are one of wishing the developer took the time to break up the action a bit by throwing in some support or passive missions not requiring the player to don a weapon and kill.

Beautiful game, seamless save system, balanced and a killer multiplayer to boot. Unless Call of Duty 3 scores in the 9's I won't be picking it up - If this is any indication I already know what to expect.
