 5 Stars for sure November 20, 2008
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
I bought this game when I bought my PS3, along with 3 other games. I played GTA IV first, and then this. Thing is, I thought I'd be mostly playing the baseball game I got over the summer... WRONG! This game totally sucked me in. The solo is great, some say too short but I think it's perfect, especially because it gets you ready for multiplayer.
I had a friend who had a PS or PS2 10 years ago that we played sometimes. And before that, when I was a kid, we had pong on the magnavox unit. Good times. :) I've seen commercials so I knew things had gotten better, but wow, this game just really highlights what modern gaming systems can do. CoD 5 seems good, and I'm starting on it, but I want to give CoD 4 some love before I get too involved with CoD 5. CoD 4 is still definitely worth buying even with CoD 5 out, because there's a ton of people actively playing it.
How is this game only getting an average of 4 stars? The only thing more fun than this game is my dog. :) ...and even he has to take a back seat to this game sometimes (not often though, Kaiser rocks!).
Great Game November 12, 2008
The single player is pretty fun, but the online multiplayer is easily playable for hours at a time.
Best Modern War Ever November 11, 2008
For sure, this is the best modern real war ever, real weapons, and more. Either single player or multiplayer is great to play.
Great Game ONLINE November 4, 2008
This is a great game online. Short though on the real game. This is more to play online, so if you do not have internet you may want to pass on this one. The only thing is now it is harder to get a game online, because everyone is playing it now. And it is not fun when the host of a game boots you off. Make a lot of freinds online, so they could invite you to play a game and boot someone else off. Also put this game away if you are taking 9 or more hours at a university. You will not get any homework done, I swear. I am soooo behind it hurts and also DO NOT FORGET TO BLINK. I think my eyes dried up and they were hard to close and open. So blink after every few seconds. Great FUN!!!
The Game That Sold Me on the PS3 October 26, 2008
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
This is the game that made me decide to buy a PS3. I'd only had a Wii before, and figured that was enough. Then for Christmas one of my friends bought this for himself as a "present" along with a PS3, and invited me over to play it. The moment it started up I realized I needed to get this game.
The cinematics and graphics really are top-notch. Even though it's an older game by now (the next Call of Duty is already slated to drop in less than a month), this still holds up among many of the newer games coming out. I dare you not to drop your jaw when you go through the "Shock and Awe" level...just amazing.
The gameplay is really easy to get ahold of. I'd always been a fairly loyal Nintendo fan, so I hadn't played a lot of First Person shooters, but within 20 minutes or so I was blowing through the easy difficulty. The game does ramp up considerably for the hardcore crowd though, so if you really want to put your skills to the test, this is the game for you.
Speaking of putting your skills to the test. This is the one warning and the one "bad" thing I have to say about the game. This game has been out for almost a year, and some people have been playing it non-stop since it came out. If you go online you will die. A lot. I mean it, you will not know what hit you for your first few rounds. The online component is fantastic, but I would really recommend spending a good deal of time on the campaign mode before you even try to hop online. Or better yet, start a game with some of your friends so the odds might be a little more even.
A quick note about the Game of the Year edition. It's cool looking, but if you can get the regular edition for cheaper you should probably go for it. The only difference is a voucher to download the 4 extra maps for multiplayer, and you can only use them online if every one you're playing with has downloaded them as well. Most people haven't, so I've only gotten to use them a handful of times. They look neat, but ultimately you won't get to use them much.
There's a good reason this game was given a game of the year edition. It's probably the best FPS to come out on the PS3 so far, and possibly this generation. On the 360 it even managed to dethrone Halo 3 on Live for awhile because so many people were into it. Buy it and see, odds are you will not be dissapointed.
