What they did was take the first game, and make it incredibly better.
But if you look deeper, here you will find a solid first person tactical shooter, with great sound effects, great customization, and battles that will keep you on the edge of your seat.
Story: The story is basic. You are fighting terrorists who are using toxic bombs to kill innocents for what they believe in. But in this game you wont be here much for the story. Instead youll be here for co-ordinated fire fights, and insane co-op. The story is good at best, and really isnt anything too EPIC. But it is satisfying for however long it lasts. Which by the way isnt that long.
7/10
Gameplay-This gameplay is some of the best i have seen in a long time. with smooth controls, and being able to peek in and out of cover effectivly, the game is fantastic.The character customization not only lets you create a unique character, but what you wear effects how you play. If your slow and armored or quick and weak, youll be playing differently then everyone else. There is a mass variety of guns and upgrades to use, so playing around with weapon customization never gets old.The biggest feature to me is ACES. ACES allows you to level up in Assault, Close Quarters Combat, or Marksmanship. As you level these up, you get experience towards your next rank, and new guns that fit in to each category. Another sweet addition is being able to play co-op, and the co-op partner levels up,and is able to customize his character just like you do. This gives you and a friend a reason to play.The gameplay is solid with realistic shooting that will keep you coming back. Although frame rate problems can get in the way when there is too many people and too many granades.
10/10
Sound-The sound is high quality, with all of the casino music,and the loud ear popping gunshots to go along with it. Although at times characters lines will sound corny and un-inspired, the story conversations are great and the sound quality really shines on 5.1 surround sound.
9.5/10
Graphics- The graphics are a smoothed and shined Vegas 1. They are good enough to play smoothly, and look good. They are not up to todays top games but they are good and get the job done well enough. Guns look nice, and glass breaks nicely too. Physics on dead bodies and random boxes also look quite nice in the heat of battle.
7/10
Multiplayer-
This is purely fantastic, and it really seems like this game was made just for online. The action is fun, and keeps you guessing whats around corners. With many maps and gametypes this could keep you entertained for a very long time. With counter strikes attack and defend, or protecting your V.I.P on Team Leader, the online is really where the best of the game is.
