my, my, my... what else can be said about Infinity Ward's CoD4 (Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare) besides "OMFGTHISISAWESOME"? ummm.. probably something to that extent at least... to be honest, my favorite FPS of all time used to be Halo 1 and CoD4 has now kicked that dirtbag into the trash to be picked up this week. This game is a serious kick-some-ass game. it's so photorealistic it's eyegasmic! the controls are comfy, button layout is perfect and the story is pretty good (though it could be better, in my opinion) the missions are awesome and there is a good variety of locations so that the game's setting and colors aren't stale. the A.I is pretty good and your allies do help a lot... but the enemy A.I is also just as smart so don't be surprised when they come sneaking up on you from behind. The single player campaign is rather short but expect to be challenged throughout it like no other. And what is an FPS without it's multi-player counterpart? The replay value is infinite since it has online multi-player. You start of with a select few weapons and as you gradually rank up it unlocks other weapons and "perks" to use to your advantage.



I will be surprised if this does not win Game of the Year award. Infinity Ward has done a remarkable job.

my verdict:

graphics: 9.5
story & prestentation: 9.0
gameplay: 9.5
replay value: 9.5
overall: 9.5 (not an average)
