Another launch title for the 360; it was important for the 360 that this popular PC franchise made it on the new Box.
As an FPS it succeeds comfertably, and as a Call of Duty game.
You go through the campaign as three sides: Russian, then British, then American. In my opinion, whilst the shortest, the Russian campaign is the most exciting. But that aside, let's focus on gameplay.
On this front it isn't very varied, but does what it aims to do very well. Run around, blasting Nazis, and do it without getting yourself killed. There is little variation, however you do get to go in the odd vehicle, or man the odd anti air gun.
The best part of the game, without doubt are the set peices. There's little more exhilirating in a game than charging across an open field at a German bunker, or having to hold a farmhouse from an onslaught of Nazi infantry. The Russian campaign boasts the most patriotic one, with screams of 'For the Motherland!' all round.
The graphics are just as god as the PC counterpart, and the framerate never takes a plunge. Whilst the graphics are good, they could always be better, especially when looking at Perfect Dark and Fight Night; Rag doll for the bodies would have been nice too, as they sometimes get stuck in walls, which really detracts from the realism of the experience.
The game's main story lasts about 12 hours on the medium difficulty, and has a little more of a challenge in store on the higher ones. The multiplayer however, is quite bad and you shouldn't be buying this game to play it online.
Overall, it isn't the best of games, but is well worth having in a collection, to come back to every so often.
