Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare

By Sandor Hugert

 

This game was really the main competition for Halo 3 in 2007 as it was highly anticipated for all consoles.  You have to start out by saying that this game has some of the best graphics seen in any video game.  It is certainly up there with Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune in the graphics department.  As we all know though, graphics don’t make any game perfect.  There really isn’t anything horrible with this game except the fact that the campaign mode is incredibly short.  You can basically beat the game in about four hours.  I’m not asking for like a 30-hour game from a first person shooter such as Call of Duty 4, but four hours is really just too short.  A first person shooter really needs to be about 10-hours long.  This year in the first person shooter department, The Orange Box really got the length of their games down as each game in that box was around 7 to 10 hours long.  Other than the length of the game, there really isn’t anything wrong with it.  The story line was really intense and the online is also intense.  The online part of the time tends to get a little boring after playing it for like two hours, but it’s still pretty fun.  Overall, this game was good, but not great as it could have been longer and online could have been a little more enjoyable.  Hopefully, we’ll get the official really good Call of Duty game with Call of Duty 5 next year.

 

Score:  7 out of 10
