With great titles like Halo 3 and BioShock out in the wild, it seemed like this year couldn’t get any better for the First Person Shooter fan. And then comes Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, flinging a stun grenade at us and leaving our jaw hanging in awe! This masterpiece is certainly among the best games out there; here’s why…
First off, Nash’s already reviewed the Xbox 360 version of the game here, so do go check it out since I won’t repeat what he’s already said.
Let me start off by saying that I didn’t expect too much from Call of Duty 4, so finding how awesome the game was was like finding a 500-rupee note in my old pair of jeans. It seemed like the series had already outlived itself and this game couldn’t get any better than the first two... man, was I in for a big surprise!
The game packs more adrenaline than a crate full of Red Bulls, thanks to its non-stop frantic action and the way each action sequence was designed and executed uniquely to keep the experience fresh throughout. That’s right; you won’t find two battles that are similar throughout the single player campaign.
From the sandy terrain of the Middle East to the ruined shrubby landscape of Chernobyl, the game offers a multitude of extremely well designed battle zones, each offering great variety in gameplay. For instance, you play as a sniper in one of the missions – decked up in a heavily camouflaged suit – and are tasked to crawl right past the enemy’s feet without being noticed.
The way the game captures the intensity of battle even in the stealthiest situations is truly worthy of recognition; CoD 4 will draw you in using each and every trick in the FPS textbook and executing them with more finesse than any all-out gung-ho shooter out there.
Good Game
