 Modern Warfare May 17, 2008
Great Game. I traded this game in for a credit towards another game and now I'm missing it.
I want to play the campaign again.
This is one heck of a game
Intense battles
Great graphics
Neat Storyline
Awesome Weaponry
This is an "own" type game you want in your library with tremendous replay value.
This is a AAA game, but for some reason the game has not garnered the acclaim it should.
Great multiplayer April 24, 2008

A front rank for Frontlines ... April 14, 2008

I am early in my experience with the game but the quality and scope of the game are great. The action is immediate and it's hard to take a breath for the first half-hour. Graphic content was the reason i purchased an HD TV display specifically for the 360 output. Graphic quality is evident from the opening scene. Detail close to what we experienced in COD 4 does not slow the frame rate adding to the joy of the experience.

 A review of the game on story mode: not online April 13, 2008
Having played this just at home via the story mode, I found it to be really well thought through, innovative and fun. The thing is with most shooter games is you have to find the subtle differences between them to really enjoy them for what they are.
Liked:
1) Unique maps and hordes: You get a feeling of how crazy war can get with the amount of people up against you, my cousin played it on easy and he found it a struggle to keep up with the hordes of bots they throw at you.
2)Mission lay out: How everything accumilates to a single objective, this is really good because it actually provided more to the story then say, with Army of Two which did have a plot, i just found this one quite a lot more interesting.
3) Unlimited restarts? No way!: Ok so that might not be on the top of everyone's lists, but I find it more of a challenge in games to have fewer chances to restart your mission because you try a lot harder. I found with a lot of xbox games recently that it just would restart you over and over without any real consequence, in the end you just getting the hang of it and doing what you learn after 10 times in. However all it would do is revert you back to where the mission starts in this game, which is good, there is no point to having to go all the way back to the start of the game with 10 lives only.
4) Awesome guns, shame you cant just pick them up: You need to go and fin a specific weapons container to get anything going, unlike other games where you can swap with team mates or just pick them up off the floor. Still, i guess it makes you want to conserve bullets but in the heat of the moment losing out and having to revert to a seemingly difficult-to-aim handgun (although very affective) is annoying. Conceptually, the guns and little toy weapons (cars and helicopters) are aweseome and fun to have a go with. Give the auto lock in with rocket launchers and enjoy blowing tanks away!
5) Give it a go online: This might be worth the whole thing depending on how the online experiance goes for me. Give it a go, you will probably enjoy it more.
Did not like:
1) Objectives, once there, are easy: I prefer something a little more difficult then placing a bomb on something, or just standing in an area to secure it (this is with respect to not telling you the final objective, find it out for yourself!) although it is difficult at times to reach objectives with hordes of bots attacking you etc, the moment you complete the objective they all suddenly dissapear? i dunno just not realistic.
2)Game is fairly short: Like most shooter games, but I found this one to be terribly short, maybe there is much more of a focus for the online gaming side of things? Either way, took me three days of playing (on and off during a working week, inbetween work, gym and going out)to finish it off.
Apart from that, I found this game quite fun, not the best title to come off the xbox so far, but its certainly worth it unless you are the purest of elitest shooter gamers in which case you might not enjoy the story mode all that much.
Good Game, Good Effort April 7, 2008
This is another title I was fairly excited about. If you actually read the beginning of the manual and pay attention to the storyline, I think people will find (if not now, soon) that it is almost shockingly accurate on many counts. Anyway, the gameplay is pretty decent although more cartoonish than realistic. Comparing to Call of Duty 4 nothing comes close however in itself the game is pretty decent. It does seem to be a little repetive though and some difficulties in clearing some levels but overall not a bad addition to the 360 lineup. Definitely worth checking out.
