 takes some getting used to May 9, 2008

this is a great game, once you get over the awkward way of controlling your character. using the D-pad or the 4-buttons, you can move forward, backward, and strafe from side to side, but to actually turn yourself left or right, you need to swipe the bottom screen with the stylus. the stylus also allows you to raise or lower your weapon, or to zoom in on a target. with the sensitivity of the touch screen, its not unusual to zoom in when you meant to turn right, or vice versa. to shoot or throw grenades, you can use either shoulder button. now if you can imagine all this detail combined and coordinated in the middle of heated combat, then you can imagine how it is to play this game.
after you get the hang of the controls, your movement becomes smooth and intuitive and the game becomes almost impossible to walk away from. the graphics, animation, and sound are well advanced for a hand held console. about 80% of what you would expect to be typed text is actually spoken dialog. all the sound effects - from the gunshots, to the explosions, to the enemies screaming in excruciating pain when they are killed - totally immerse you into the game. the graphics remind you of how this game would look on perhaps the ps2. you have unlimited continues from your last checkpoint, you campaign is saved automatically at your last checkpoint.
overall, it's a fantastic game. if it wasn't for the awful controls it would be 5 stars.
a must have for shooter fans with a DS.. April 15, 2008
COD 4 for the Nintendo DS is a bit different than its console counterpart. In this game you play as a US soldier as well as a British SAS soldier who must, in the grand scheme of things, stop a nuke from being launched by a terrorist.
It may sound the same as the console version, but the levels are different and the objectives are different too. For instance, you don't ever do that whole "sneak through a courtyard in a ghillie suit" like the 360 or PS3 version. Or how you do the boat stage with the SAS as the first stage in the consoles, its like the 5th or 5th mission in the DS version.
Anyway, it may seem like your average FPS but that is exactly what the DS needs. You'll run around with your team, shooting terrorist upon terrorist, hurling grenades to kill more terrorists, running up to them and bashing their faces in with your weapon, shooting rockets, firing humvee & helicopter turrets, running with a countdown to disarm a bomb... its pretty intense for a "game on the go" and will certainly keep your interest.
Weapons include shotguns, AK-47, M16. MP5s, grenades.. and a couple of other goodies like some handguns, an uzi... you get the idea.
Its also repetitive. You'll do the same thing over...and over...and over again. All the terrorists look the same, and when they actually yell from being killed, its an "Unghh!!!" that sounds the same from terrorist to terrorist.
The music and sound effects are pretty boss though. The music is an energetic score that will keep your heart racing well after the fighting, and the sound effects are top notch and sound semi-realistic (atleast for a hand held system).
There is no online multiplayer for Call of Duty 4 for the Nintendo DS as far as I know. And I have never beaten it, so I apologize.
Overall, this game was pretty fun and definitely intense. It certainly helped kickstart my interest in the DS system, and to me is better than the console versions. I give it an 8.5 out of 10.
 Fun game for casual gamers March 5, 2008
I'm not a hard-core gamer -- I just like to pick up my DS every once and a while to relax with an entertaining game. This one is definitely a must-buy -- It's quick to learn the controls and very addictive. The graphics are nice and gameplay doesn't get boring. Check it out.
a great FPS for the DS February 11, 2008

this is the first FPS ive actually enjoyed on the DS. i tried metroid prime:hunters, but found the enless running around, trying to find out where to go was a bit annoying. COD is straight up running around shooting the hell out of stuff, which is right up my alley.
right away, i noticed the great graphics. granted, thats not saying alot if u compare the DS to the PSP, but i loved them nontheless. the aiming/shooting was spot on, and the only problem (as other reviewers have stated) is the double tap to zoom in on a target. often times i would be in a heated situation, and frantically try to zoom in on an enemy, only to get killed in the end due to not being able to control the scope.
a great number of weapons in this game...from sniper rifles, to grenades, to gas bombs, to shotguns. each weapon has its own strenths and advantages. my favorite is the sniper rifle, getting them right between the eyes with a head shot (head shots kill the enemies almost instantly, they can withstand several point blank shots to their bodies tho).
ovarall....great game. several different types of level design, from basic FPS, to overview, to missions on vehicles. a good variety of gameplay. it also clocks in a bit on the short side....maybe 20 hours for me to beat the game, but you can always go back and replay any missions you have beaten.
i wouldnt hesitate to recommend this game to any DS owner.
