Game Reviews #24 - Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 - Call of Duty Month


Platform: Xbox 360

Price I Paid: Free! (Probably, I hope so...)

The final week of Call of Duty month! We've reviewed some excellent games, this one is not so excellent.

I remember when this game was announced, a sequel to arguably the best Call of Duty Game there was! Angry little shits could sit online all day and screech down their microphone about how they got five Nukes in one game, as much as you try to explain to them that it is in fact impossible. So, the game came out, I waited a couple months for the hype to die down and got it as a Christmas/birthday gift like I do with all the Call of Duty games.

I was, at first, impressed with the game. But like most Call of Duty games their lack of good campaign is very apparent. You play as Roach and the other guy, can't remember his name, he was naff. Then you play as Soap who you played as in the first game, trying to bring back the good old days are we?

Gameplay wise, it's pretty alright I guess, of course the game functions like it should and everything, it's a triple A title, all the Call of Duties get good reception and this was no exception to that rule. Everything works, the occasional texture clip but that's all to be honest. Guns and stuff, nice variety, lots of ways to customise them both on single player and multi player, still doesn't add any fun to this game.

I want to make special mention of the graphics, they're good, but not as good as World at War. The previous Call of Duty had limbs flying everywhere, the only other Call of Duty to do that or have similar physics was Call of Duty 3 and I'm not sure why they got rid of that.

While the game is fine and works, I don't like it personally, however I can see why people would enjoy it and I don't want to allow my opinion to fully cloud your judgement of this half arsed game.

Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 gets a 7/10
