I thought that after playing the many series of Medal of Honor games, it would be impossible to improve on that series, but when Call of Duty came out I found myself playing what I think, at the time, the most realistic feeling shooter that I have even played. Since then Call of Duty have moved to the 360 platform and have continue to be the most beautiful, the most intense, and without a doubt the most fun of the World War II shooters out there, BUT that was the problem, it was a WW II shooter. After 15 years of playing WW II shooters even a great game like COD can get a little dry, so it was great timing that Activision and Infinity Ward decided to make a modern day shooter. There have been others, but not with the same flair for excitement that COD have been able to bring us. This game continues an amazing streak of First Person Shooters from Activision. Right from the first screen down to the final battle this game is totally first rate, The sounds, the action, the lighting, everything, the game is totally intense and you better be ready for a mind blowing experience, because you will be in a total maddening game play the attire game. The graphics are so well done, that I believe they are even better then Gears of War, which are very amazing in itself, the city and the surrounding towns you fight in are so war ravaged and depressive that it looks amazing like a 3rd world country destroyed from many years of war and poverty. I just can’t say enough about the atmosphere of this game, it just drew you in as much as any game that I have played. Also this game is much more forgiving then games like Rainbow Six or Ghost Recons, which are awesome shooters in their own right, but unlike those games, you don’t go down with one shot unless you play at the very highest level. So this game is a lot more entertaining and quicker paced. There are only 2 problems I can find with this game, first the manual is totally useless, we are starting to see way too much of this in games today. For COD veterans it’s not a big deal the game pretty much play the same as the others, but for newbies, it will be a learning curve, a fun learning curve but one all the same. The second and the only reason I didn’t possible give my first 10 out 10 rating, is the fact single player campaign is terribly short, one of the shortest shooters that I’ve played in a long while. I was amazed with I was done with this game. That’s too bad, because there is so much I want to do with this game. Time to try Online with this baby! Go get it!
