Game – Modern Warfare 2
Platform – PC

Modern Warfare is back with a blast. With more terrorist conflicts than ever before it offers the best single player campaign the series has to offer. Along with top quality graphics it makes Modern Warfare 2 really come to life.

The franchise turns its attention to detail as every aspect of the game has been improved. The game feels as though you are there, or even in a movie. The graphics are simply that good. You could easily be mistaken when you get up and start pretending to breach your kitchen, it really feels as though the player is the game now. Every move you make affects the sequence of events to follow, from how quickly you kill an enemy to where you position yourself on the map.

Yet its very hard to find something truly bad about it. Only slight improvements could really be made to the multi player side of things, perhaps more maps or even more detail on certain ones which offer limited tactical play. New and improved perks and kill streaks do offer a wider variety to public online gaming though, there are plenty of ways to counter somebody and get better as you play for longer. Those who have played previous versions of Call of Duty will notice it is very similar in that regard, you can see yourself progressing as your leg shots turn to head shots over time.

With endless amounts of achievements and accolades, players will find it difficult to put the game down. However, it does offer something for every type of player. A casual player could pick it up and enjoy themselves, whilst a more hardcore gamer could sit there for hours working through the achievements. Each aspect of the single player game really shines, the story line is terrific with twists and turns at every corner. I found myself watching the story line in the same manner of watching a film, you will be shocked at some points but you will be in awe at everything else.

As winter is upon us, it really does offer the perfect supplement to a night in with your mates, you’ll be shouting and screaming at the person next to you then finally turning to them with your anti-terrorist lingo. When you start saying threat neutralized and roger that it really has become time to leave the apartment. But that will be hard with this installment, the sequel definatly delivers. It is now flagship for the shoot-em-up genre and it doesn’t dissapoint on a any front.

Rating – 4/5 A near perfect sequel in a really strong franchise, the future of FPS games.
