Customer Reviews

Amazing? No.
O.K shooting mechanics,boring graphics,it lacks any unique stlye and no online achievements. Fast paced but ultimately nothing here that's superior to Gears of War. One more thing, where is the motion blur?

Great Continuation of the Call of Duty Franchise
I bought this solely on the strength of Call of Duty 1 which I played on the Mac and decided to buy this on the 360 because of recommendations. I was a little worried that the feeling of the Call of Duty (the idea of not fighting alone, of being part of a battle and great multiplayer) would be lost in a modern warfare enviroment. It turns out that I was wrong.

The Good:

- The single player campaign is amazing, exciting and occassionally shocking. I like that completing it unlocks multiplayer content - clever. The missions are well realised and some are just awesome (the sniper mission to be exact)

- Multiplayer is just brilliant, with a rank system and reward system that keeps you coming back for more. Good players get rewarded and camping is hard. All game modes are fun and I play COD4 multiplayer more than any other game. Xbox live is still one of the best online services on any system - IMO.

- Graphics and game design are top notch and even multiplayer is pretty to look at. Some of the environments are almost hyper-real and firefights really do feel frenetic - especially with 5.1.

The Bad:

- Single player is way too short. I am, at best, an average player and I completed it in a couple of days. That sucks.

- No vehicles. I personally find vehicles in multiplayer annoying, but I can see that they can be fun.

- No peaking around corner or blind-firing. Most tactical shooters have these as an options and even COD1 and 2 had the ability to peak around corners. Come on Infinity Ward, keep up!

Overall, I love this game. But the single player is way too short and there are some little omissions from MP that could have made it great.

Semi Decent but more of a kids game!!!
This is my review on Call of Duty 4 - I'll keep it brief

To get the positives out the way:

First thing i would say is this game is really good looking. Not the best but it's really nice.

Second thing i like is the story, the characters were really enjoyable and fun.

Third thing is the sniper mission. It was totally awesome!!!!

Now onto the negatives:

The game play is sooo straight forward it's really quite dull. It's just a plain bog standard shooting game. You follow your teams mates, kill some guys, follow your team mates, kills some guys and repeat til you've completed the game. The only time it breaks out of this boring tradition is the sniper mission that i mentioned above because it was different.

Also there's something with the AI that bugs my happiness. Instead of shooting at you, they prefer to throw grenades... 5 at a time. Like every other COD game it's just bloody frustrating.

OVERALL:

Overall this game is a plain boring shooting game. It's not as good as the first 2 COD games by a long shot. But if you're into cliché boring shooting games like Halo 3 then you'll love it.

If you can get it for about £15 buy it. It'll keep you amused for about 5 hours until you complete it. it's just unfortunatly not as good as the kids make it out to be.

Personally keep your money and buy BIOSHOCK or a Ghost Recon game instead. Play something different. :)
