  1. Modern Warfare 2 (Xbox 360)

    Reviewer: Crispy Gamer

    OK, let's get this out of the way. In one of the early missions in Modern Warfare 2 , you play an undercover soldier who has infiltrated a Russian terrorist group. You participate in an attack on an airport. You play through the mission, moving slowly through carefully scripted and graphically presented carnage. You're invited to participate in the massacre. You don't have to actively shoot any unarmed victims, but you do have to watch. And you do have to participate in... Read more

    Before it was even released, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 had a lot to live up to and I am pleased to say that it wasn’t all talk. This game truly delivered. It looks better, it plays better, the story is more intense and the multiplayer is more inviting. And with the inclusion of SpecOps, the longevity of this game is sure to have increased as well. However it still needs to work on such crucial things such as storytelling. Overall it is still a great game. If you... Read more

    With very few complaints about the game and the massively addicting multiplayer, I am going to go ahead and say this is one of the best games to spend your money on this year. The fact that you can get more than 30 hours out of the multiplayer without becoming tired of it, really makes it worth the money. That is not even including the great single player or Special Ops modes. Although the single player is somewhat short, you are really buying this for the multiplayer... Read more

    "Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 2" is not quite perfect. Some people may find it too samey compared to previous titles- and to an extent, it is. But it is probably the perfect sequel- as everything that you could think of from the first game has been subtly improved, from the graphics, to the annoyances in the single player, to the multiplayer perks. And then you get a whole new mode on top of everything to play with, which is loads of fun. Read more

    Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 has the potential of being the biggest game release of all time. The hype leading up to the release has been massive, and it is safe to say the game lives up to most of that hype. The story picks up sometime after the events of the first Modern Warfare, although it is sadly a letdown compared to the original. The narrative in Call of Duty games has never been fantastic, but Modern Warfare changed that by introducing memorable characters and... Read more

    I got this game about a month ago, and have played it overall at least 20 hours by now, in all three modes (beat main single player, most of special ops, and online but ONLY free-for-all mode). Just wanted to show what the review is based on. The ... Read more

    I Would like to see any developer top Infinity Ward at making a shooter that runs this smooth...looks this good...and be this much fun. The Multiplayer blows the original MW MP out of the water. And cheating is as prevalent now with pathes and what not so I don't know why people are having cows about it. Special Ops is a nice distraction and a challenging way to fish for achievements. I feel like its a bit underdeveloped however. I mean if they gave it a MP treatment,... Read more

    I bought this game for my dad for Christmas and he absolutely loved it. My sister and brother had bought him other video games too, but he said that the graphics were awesome, the missions were even better than the first Call of Duty, and that it was hands down the best game he's ever played.

    Now then the long awaited sequel to COD 4: modern warfare. I always thought that the 2 main contenders for the title of best FPS (first person shooter) is currently between Call of Duty and Battlefield bad company, you may disagree but that is my opinion. Now with Modern Warfare 2 beating Bad Company 2 to the post just squeezing itself in before Christmas it got on everyone's Xmas list. Also in time to make itself the official game of the year by many different game... Read more
