Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare is one heck of a game. It's campaign is among the best of the series, multiplayer is fun, fast, and fluid, and Zombies in Spaceland is a funny, non-stop thrill ride that will keep you smiling.
Campaign - Infinite Warfare's story mode tells the tale of a solar system at war. When Earth started lacking what people needed to survive, technology allowed them to explore the rest of the mysterious solar system and build civilizations on almost all the planets, whilst gaining necessary resources for survival on Earth and everywhere else. But with that being said, there's never a global decision that EVERYONE agrees with. Salen Kotch (Kit Harrington) sure didn't, nor did his massive army of space pirates known as the Settlement Defense Front. The SDF attack, and raid everything it can, killing anyone who tries to stop them. You play as Cpt. Nick Reyes, a lieutenant who was promoted to commander of a massive UNSA ship named the Retribution, following the SDF attack on Earth during the annual Fleet Week parade. As commander Reyes, you must fight alongside your crew to stop the SDF at all costs, and execute Salen Kotch.
Throughout the campaign, Reyes makes decisions that end up costing the lives of his crew, one by one. You clearly see the impact his decisions have on himself and the rest of the team as the story progresses, and that adds that strong emotional core that previous Call of Duty campaigns have lacked.
You also get to fly Jackals in some missions! Your own personal fighter jet build for in and out of atmosphere dogfights. The off-rails action of Jackal flying missions is nothing less than amazing. There's never a dull moment flying these suckers, they're easy to control, and fun to blow stuff up with.
Overall, Infinite Warfare's campaign is full of action, suspense, determination and heartbreak. A story that leaves you with chills, amazement, and tears in your eyes. The characters are so loveable, and you get easily attached to every single one of them. The eye candy of space and the planets that fill every moment leave your jaw on the floor and your eyes widened in amazement.
Multiplayer - Infinite Warfare's multiplayer has done what every past good Call of Duty has done, get your blood pumping and engage you on an immersive journey to be the best. Maps are well made, haven't found myself actually disappointed in any of them, which is great because I usually have that one map that doesn't really tickle my fancy. The weapons are all fairly balanced, none are too overpowered, and none are too weak. And the prototype system is genius, really adds on to the "to do" list, and can keep you playing for hours just to gain some salvage (in-game currency) to unlock new weapon prototypes. The movement system feels just like Black Ops 3's, but a tad bit different in a way that can't really be explained. Infinity Ward has put their own trademark on the whole thrusting and wall running thing, and it's pretty good.
Overall, the multiplayer is definitely fun, very fast, very vibrant, and of course, very big.
Zombies in Spaceland - Infinite Warfare's Zombies is a blast! Stereotypical 80's cheese has drenched itself all over the place, and it couldn't be better. Taking place in a massive "space themed" amusement park, Zombies in Spaceland delivers probably the biggest zombies play area ever. The four characters; Poindexter, AJ, Andre, and Sally add a funny experience with their corny one liners and chirps to each other. One thing that really made me love the experience was the Afterlife Arcade. Now, instead of spectating others when you bleed out, you are actually teleported to the Afterlife Arcade where you can play games to earn yourself tickets which you can use to buy other things around the map. Once you are brought back the next round, make sure to stop at the lost and found to retrieve everything you had before you died, for $2000.
Overall, Zombies in Spaceland is a hilarious riot of fun that pumps through every moment.
In conclusion, Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare is one of the better Call of Duty's in a while, every mode gives it's own unique vibes and each of them are a blast to play.
9/10 - Jay Bricker
