This time I tackle Modern Warfare 2.(spoiler not happening) After playing the single player campaign, I took some time to let the experience go from being at the front of my mind so I would not pass quick judgement to anyone. So after about a week I was a my college job in the one dorm building and I got to thinking about the game. Here are the things that came up in my mind.

The overall feel of the game was epic. Grand scale of the story was a shock, and the graphics were beyond amazing.

First the story. The basic training was just as fun yet somewhat tedious after running through it a few times. But once you get in the thick of things you stay there and never get out of that hole you got into. The missions get more difficult as the game progresses but not to the point were you just give up and run to your room to cry. Was the game progresses, the story evolves into one very screwed up, twisted tails of being left for a dead man I can remember. There are some "aw" moments where your mouth hangs open and stays there for a few minutes as your mind tries to wrap itself around what it has just learned.

Combine that to the graphics and the games leaps up in the atmosphere. I felt as though I was running through the slums of Brazil to climbing the icy face of a mountain in Russia to taking down an oil rig in the North Pacific ocean off the coast of Russia. Every location felt real and could have been a real place in the world. Seeing the huge statue of Jesus in Brazil was one of the aw moments, just because they decided to put it in the game to say the statue is real and it makes the game just that more realistic.

I also liked that when you start the game a player can have the opinion to skip the graphic 3rd level which is in the Russian airport. Now I played it, because I wanted the full experience of the game and being 24 I have a handle on what I can see and not see. But it was nice to see that they were thinking of parents with younger kids who didn't want their kids to see it or take part in the mission. Skipping the mission won't ruin the game, you'll just go from the second mission to the fourth mission. You will be told about it in the loading scene.

Overall the game was momentous and aw inspiring. the cliff hanger at the end was worth the price of the game and gave me more incentive to wait for the next game installment. Plus the mulitplayer is addictive for any player. Almost missed a college course or two.
