True next gen gaming.
The graphics, sound and tight game play all come together for a totally immersive experience. Sure, the single player campaign is on the short side, but what an intense experience it is. Infinity Ward know their warfare and this is the closest you can get the theatre of war with actually enlisting (well maybe paintball). The attention to detail is second to none, especially the weapons. The flashback mission in the campaign I rate as one of my all time favorites for any FPS, ever!
And then there is the ever addictive multiplayer which gives the game a seriously extended shelf life. An instant classic. A must own for any gamer serious about FPS...or gaming for that matter!
