 - This raises the barAmazing well done single player game. It takes a lot to impress me with a video game these days and Ativision has done more than just impress, I was in awe. This should be the new benchmark for single player first person shooters. My only complaint is the multiplayer platform. It does not measure up to the single player game or other multiplayer first person shooters. Rating: - CoD4 Rocks!I picked up this game from Target right after I finished playing the demo. That was at midnight during the week! That's how engrossing the game is. The game opens with a long cinematic and in that sequence the main character is driven through the streets of a city somewhere in Middle East. That was so so real! You should see it to believe it. My favorite SP episode is the 'Epilogue' where you are supposed to rescue a hostage on a flight. I haven't played the multiplayer levels enough and that's why I gave a 4-star rating. Stop wasting your play time reading this review, pick up the game now! Rating:  - Great GameWell I was a little concerned this game would be to modern and get away from the great game play I have enjoyed with CoD & CoD2 I'm a 50 year old man who has been gaming since PONG from 1974 and Atari 1976 my son and I have enjoyed every generation of video game since nitindeo8 and sega genisis16 and this to me is one of the greatest FPS games I have ever played I highly recommend it.The first time I played I knew it was going to be a challenge when I went through the training and then the first mission on the frieghter when you have to jump for the heliocopter that's so real I couldn't stop playing I played all weekend with very few breaks (the wife hates it when I get a new game)As far as system demands I was suprised it seems to have less demand the CoD2, excellent graphics loads right up just 1 DVD/CD. Oh yeah it has some great weapons, the C-135 gunship mission is one of my favorites. Rating: - good, with tanks would be betterok, so maybe I was spoiled with tanks in Medal of Honour. I just love rolling along in a big metal can shooting enormous shells of explosives at all the little soldiers in my way. So now I want that in all WWII shooters. That said, this game is more of the same, and a lot of fun because of it. I like the new challenges system, where more online experience gets you access to better weapons. More diversity of multiplayer game types could be an improvement. Don't buy this game for offline play - the offline single player story is visually beautiful but extremely short. Rating: - Great game but has its flaws..Like most gmaers whotake their fun seriously, i have played all of the previous COD releases, and enjoyed them all emensely. What I found in this game however is refreshing in that it is up to todays standards, and storyline, thus creating a fictional atmosphere in the middle east and Russia. Gameplaty is good but ditto J.McIntre's comments as right on. repawning i found to be just plain lame. Theuy use this for gameplay these days,in place of realism, and i beleive for the younger set,who just don't know any better. generally i don't like to diss games for the sake of unwarranted tidbits. The game is good in itsown right. Worthy of a purchase for sure. Its length may be short but its content is very well worth money spent. I happen to love cinematics in games. This game offers a little bit of that and more plus good sound effects, storyline etc.. So many games put forth do not take these things into account,thus falling far short in thier efforts. While linear in design, that is OK as that is the way this typwe of game has alwys been. Game makers market a game to appease the masses, and not a select few. LOL Also, making a game that runs and plays on most anybodies computer worthy of game playing is a plus and although i ditto another reviewers thoughts about 'Crysis' as being a bit better IMO, in that regard, they are differnt type and style games. Much better graphics then previous installments..so credos there. Overall i gave it a four star only because the first time i played it, i got confused many times with objectives and not knowing the respawn thing,until the second go around. Should have figures as much. Like a previous reviewer, i put it like third behind 'Crysis',and Rainbow Six Vegas. Worthy of buying and playing for sure.
