Review Call of Duty 4 Modern Warfare

Amazing, bot not life changing, January 13, 2008 By jem16 (Laramie Wyoming)

First of lets get one thing straight, Call of Duty 4 is one of the best xbox360 games this year.

Story
The story is nothing special but it does a good job for a shooter. Basically world peace is being threatened by islamist extremist and communist dictators. You play as a U.S marine and a British S.A.S elite trooper fighting bad guys from the middle east to western Russia.

Graphics COD4
is a stunning game. It has plenty of artistic feel from blown out buildings to AA fire in the night. It just goes to show how much power the xbox360 still has. COD4 has amazing graphics that really help you bring in the atmosphere of modern war.

Game Play
Those new to COD will not be blown away, it is a first person shooter. Which means you have the perspective as if you were looking down a gun. What makes COD4 stand out is great mechanics and feel. One minute you and your squad mates will be silently sneaking in an area with silencer pistols and the next you will be fending off helicopters with stinger missiles. COD4 offers a wide range of weapons for you. You can pick the classic Ak-47 or go special ops with the MP5,the choice is yours. If you are a first person shooter fan this, and halo 3, are a must buy.

Audio
I can't really talk about the audio because I play it on an old RF tv but from what I can get it is top notch. I have played past COD games with surround sound and it truly brings you into the fight. From your fellow men in arms screaming orders over gun fire to the quite nights with crickets and great voice acting, COD4 will excel.

Multi Player
If you have xboxlive then COD4 is another great reason to have xbxlive. It is the most addicting xboxlive game I have ever played, more so than Halo3, the reason for this is that the more you play, the more weapons and upgrades you unlock. COD4 offers a great way to customize your inner solider, you can have up to 5 slots of customization so you can keep searching until you find your dream modern warrior. Unlike Halo 3 where you get some new armor but nothing special, COD4 awards you with new gear and weapons which will give you a reason to keep playing until the wee hours of the night. COD4 does have split screen options for when your buddies come over which is fun and exiting. Overall I reccomend COD4. It has every thing, Great Graphics, good story, online play bar none, and game play that excels. Go out and buy cod4, it will blow you away. For parents out there cod4 is pretty graphic with execution scenes to realistic battles, I think any teen 16+ should be just fine. Infinity ward and Activision should be awarded for successfully bringing a wwII franshise to the modern age with style and no hick ups at all, well done!
