Customer Reviews

A GUTSY MOVE BY Activision!
WWII had been done to death! Ever since the original CASTLE WOLFENSTEIN-3D every war theater, every front, every battle has been done again and again. True, a number of great games was produced. Yet, some game developers seem unable to stop whipping a dead horse..

ACTIVISION proved it had the guts to break with the mold it had made its CALL OF DUTY franchise a huge success. CoD4 is set in a (fictional) present in which American and British agents are called upon to stop a Russian plutocrat with Soviet-nostalgia and terrorist aspirations.

The weapons are new, the gameplay is inventive, the graphics are realistic, the settings are beautiful - a great game all together!

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Too Short? Try Veteran.
If this game was too short for you, I recommend you play the game again.
This time, set the difficulty rating to Veteran, play it on "arcade mode" so you only have limited lives/respawns.

Now I dare you to complain that the single player game is too short.

Hats off to the gamers who can complete the game (including the short 50seconds you have to rescue the hostage at the end on the plane mission).
Ive been playing FPS since "Magic Carpet" and anyone with any knowledge should know, that was the first real FPS ever made (1993-94 and yes it was the guy that made Black and White). I.e. i'm good, I think myself good and I enjoy it; my point is this: I can't complete CoD4 on Veteran + the plane mission at the end. So a great big *bow to anyone that can and I would love to know about it.

Welcome to a whole new level of CoD and difficulty. Challenging? If you're the person that played CoD4 on Easy, Charged in and got shot a hundred times before being felled, completed the game so easilly that a 7 year old child could do the same, THEN complained on here that it was too short...then be prepared to die. Many times. In as many ways possible as you can imagine, or your patience will allow you to endure, before restarting the machine and shouting at anyone in the vacinity at the time.

The game takes on another form of its own at this level.

With limited lives as well, you're going to be cursing your screen at the intellegence of the A.I. and that sniper that hit you bang on for the 5th time when you're on your last life of 6.

Enjoy, and no more complaints until you've tried this.

p.s.

As a general rule, to make your games last alot longer, play them all on hard if not the hardest difficulty setting to start off with unless you're totally new to them.

disapointing
I looked forward to this next game after thoughrly enjoying C/of/ Duty 3 but what a load of rubbish,game takes place in shadows most of the time,so you are not sure where the enemy is half the time,so I find I have wasted my money
