First off, let me tell you some of my gaming character flaws. I have so-so hand-eye coordination, I'm constantly being distracted by my girlfriend, and I'm a very sore loser. I played Halo for all of two minutes before my eyes became bloodshot with anger and I threatened to chuck the controller out the window. I hate first person shooters or anything from that perspective to tell you the truth. So I didn't have very high expectations of this game, especially online. I expected to see a bunch of bunny hops and impossible sprint-run-headshot type of kills that you don't even see in action films.
Not to my surprise, I suck at this game. When playing online, if my kill to be-killed ratio is 50/50, that's a victory in my book. But despite my inherent video game character flaws, none of them ever manifest while playing this game. Everything is just so well done that the controller works with you instead of against you. The perks system and the balancing of the game mechanics works in such a way that even if you are getting your booty handed to you, you can feel that you have a chance to get the person that got you in the next encounter.
Ok, just a few negatives. Well, they aren't really negatives more like wishes for the next installment. I was actually kind of disappointed there is no online co-op for the storyline. I was also kind of disappointed that I could not customize my online character at all, just receiving randomn foot soldiers depending on what side of the conflict you end up on.
So what does all this mean? Basically what I am saying is I still hate FPSers and I'm still a sore loser, except when I'm playing Call of Duty 4. The game is so well done and so much fun, nothing else really matters. Isn't that why we play games in the first place?
 CALL OF DUTY 4...Excellent game worthy of sweet praise.... June 21, 2008

I'm not a guy that plays everyday, 7 hours a day...I've got a life. However, I enjoy playing first shooter games and I bought a PS3 system recently. This game is hands down, the best first shooter I've played. The graphics, action, and multi-player levels make for a good time that won't go away anytime soon. If you want a great storyline and voice acting...go rent The Lion King. This game gives you a mission and a crap load of obstacles that challenge you every step of the way. Good stuff!
I rated this a perfect 5 out of 5, due to my simple criteria, "Will I still be playing this game six months from now?" The answer is a definite yes. For all the nerds out there that poo poo on us simple folks for bestowing perfect scores too easily, relax. It will be okay. It's my opinion and we don't have to agree. By the way, if you don't think it deserves a perfect score...you're wrong!
The one thing I'd like to see the makers of Call of Duty 4 do, is allow owners of the game to upload new gaming scenarios and battlegrounds. We have to get updates periodically anyway. If you don't have this game, quit spending your extra cash on pen protectors and tape for your glasses...take those savings and buy this game.
The best game in the market June 17, 2008

A great experience. I have the ps3 edition. The online game is top notch. A must have for any gamer.
Outstanding June 10, 2008
It's not a perfect game, as some people have noted. But I do think it is amazing.
I played through the single player game, that was interesting, albeit a little linear for my liking. But the game really comes alive in multi player.
If there were no multi player, I'd probably rate this three stars and call it over priced. But the inclusion of such a comprehensive multi player experience makes this game outstanding.
There are plenty of weapons to choose from, all kinds of unlockables and promotions. You get to pit your wits against players from all over the world. It's just a great game. And I am not a huge FPS player, I'm not even a very enthusiastic gamer quite honestly, but this game will provide hours of entertainment, and is certainly a must have for any PS3 owner.
