Cinematic single player mode, arguably the best on the 360. Short, but it is like being inside a 5 hour long war movie.
User Rating: 9 | Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare X360
This game deserves a place in any 360 owners game library. It is the kind of title you just don't trade in. The single player game has a pace to it I have not seen outside a Hollywood movie. Yes it is only 5 hours long, but such is the games ability to suck you in, that you feel part of a 5 hour long war flick. Some of the old COD gremlins are still there; AI from opposing sides trading shots from 9 inches away, but on the whole the experience is a joy. The atmosphere when you crawl through the radiation soaked town surrounding Chernobyl is simply stunning. You spend some of the game as a U.S. marine, and some as an S.A.S. soldier from British special forces. To be honest the S.A.S. sections pretty much steal the show in terms of length, atmosphere and humor for that matter, but the U.S. Marine sections counter this with sheer scale, as you take part in assaults on desert towns from within a cloud of gunships. My father was an S.A.S. soldier for several years and some of the comments in this game could have come straight out of his mouth, it was very amusing even if the positions the troopers took up was suicidal compared to RL. The multi player is OK but not groundbreaking. There are no new suprises and the weapons are without doubt unbalanced. The hardware you start with, a sniper rifle and a machine gun, seem to be less lethal than assault rifles gained later on, a situation that is absurd compared to RL.
