Customer Reviews

An absolute masterpeice. . .
I've had this game for a couple of days now and if you wondering whether to buy this or not, the simple answer is, yes. One might have thought with all the press attention and hype surrounding this new title that the game could never possibly live up to expectations, but it most certainly does, and even exceeds expectations in certain areas.

First off, single player. Now, being honest the campaign isn't massily long, if your playing on regualar difficulty, expect to play for around 4-6 hours, however, ramp it up to veteran difficulty and you can make that 20+ (serioulsy, its hard!) But I think that the campain can be summed up best by the phrase "short and sweet", the plot is very well laid out and the cinematics are truly outstanding. There is also no lack of variety in this game either, not to spoil the plot, but you'll find yourself fightly in vastly different settings throughout the whole campaign which really does give the campaign an epic feeling. Overall the single player is well rounded and truly an astonashingly cinematic experience which you cannot afford to miss.

Now, to what most people buy COD for, the multiplayer. If you've played COD4, then you will instantly fell right at home with MW2. However, this doesn't mean it hasn't changed. The massive new list of guns, perks, kilstreaks, unlockables will have you playing for years. In all my years of gaming I have never played a more well rounded online multiplayer experience. The multiplayer is genuinly worth the £.. alone.

Also thrown into the mix is spec ops mode, which sees you take on a variety of different missions in 2-player co-op (Splitcreen/online) which range from holding down positions against waves of oncoming enemies to snomobile races which are absolutely hilarious! This is a great addition to the game just as Nazi zombies was to CODW@W - but better with more variety.

Overall, I serioulsy cannot fault this game. The single player experience is epic and the multiplayer is unrivalled by anything on the market, and with spec ops throw into the mix, this is an absolute MUST BUY.

Lives Up To Expectations
"The most anticipated game of the decade". Probably the fastest selling ever. Modern Warfare 2 has unimaginable levels of expectation, and with good reason; Infinity Ward has raised the bar once again for 1st person shooters.
Campaign mode picks up 5 years after the original, with play switching between Task Force 141 (former SAS members) and the Army Rangers. Set pieces have always been Call of Duty's specialty, the majority of which are jaw dropping. When first loading the game, a warning appears, stating one level has content many will find disturbing! The option is even there to skip it entirely. Without spoiling it, nothing this brutal has actually been playable before. Just wait until the Daily Mail hears about it. Levels set in Afghanistan also prove Infinity Ward are pulling no punches. Locations have more variety than the original; a blizzard whipped military base, Rio slums, and a Russian Gulag are a few standouts. Gameplay is virtually identical to COD 4, but thankfully those German Shepherds aren't quite so lethal. Warzones are more chaotic, and grander in scale; the mission 'Wolverines!' is a fantastic homage to the movie Red Dawn. Vehicle sections are included; a snowmobile chase is particularly outstanding. A breach element has been worked into play, which is a subtle addition. Placing C4 on a door triggers slow motion upon entering.

Special Ops mode is a substantial new feature, which can be played alone, co-operatively or online. Various stages from single player feature, and objectives vary wildly. One example is to defeat a number of enemies whilst minimising civilian casualties. 69 stars can be earned, which unlock additional levels and extras. They mostly last a few minutes, which can make it extremely addictive.
Finally, multiplayer looks like it will take over the world again. New modes include a 3rd person cage match, unlockable around level 70. It feels deeper than its predecessor, which has dominated online gaming for 2 solid years. This will almost certainly do the same.

Seriously, what a game! - Parents' take note of my warning!
The most visually stunning and immensely playable game ever released. Forget just on the PS3, I'm talking ever!
Yes, there are games out there that match content, plot and playability but this just seems to have it all. Whether you're powering a snow-mobile down a sheer cliff, piloting a drone as you cower under a kiosk in a bullet-ridden petrol station or indeed, wiping out innocent civilians in an airport, the graphic content, real-time appeal and motion of this game is incredible. It's hard to even imagine that World at War was from the same developer?! Yes the ethics of the game was a bench mark too high for the competition, but this game beats it with a royal flush!

I would however urge all of those `parents' out there who are looking to buy this title for their Son or Daughter, take my advice and have them accept the prompt to skip the `offence' mission. It's brutal and is in the game for a reason, but for someone of adolescence, it's not warranted in their life.
