Game Review:

Call of Duty Modern Warfare is a meticulously crafted Military First Person Shooter (FPS) videogame.
Set in the present day, Call of Duty 4 tells a fictional, but credible story of Russian nationalists and the illegal trade of nuclear weapons with extremists in the Middle East. The plot is told thru film-like interlaced stories from the perspective of the United States Marine Corps Force Reconnaissance (Force Recon), which is the special operations force of the United States Marine Corps and the Special Air Service Regiment (SAS), the principal special forces unit of the British Army.

During gameplay, the player will operate a variety of authentic weapons and equipment, such as MP5SD silenced machine guns, portable anti-tank guided Javelin missiles, night vision goggles as well as mount and operate explosive charges. The single player campaign also includes a short mission where the player operates the guns of an AC-130H Spectre gunship and a short flashback mission of a two man sniper team following the Chernobyl nuclear power plant disaster.

Due to the level of difficulty, political storyline, action and graphical assassinations, we recommend the game for teenagers ages 14 and up. The ESRB rated the game “M” for Mature – the “one fits all” rating given to all action games in the US.

In addition to the outstanding single player campaign, Call of Duty 4 also offers 16 multiplayer maps. The PS3 and Xbox360 version supports 18 players online, while the PC version offers 32-player matches.

Overall, Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare is an excellent first person shooter videogame for teens and adults. The single player campaign is a little short, but we take quality over quantity anytime.
