Game Play: 10/10 You start out by doing a little obstacle course. Depending on how good you do it recommends a difficulty level for you. There are 4 difficulties to choose from. I chose the regular difficulty. Okay, so the first mission was amazing, I'm having a hard time thinking of any cooler missions I've ever played! I won't say anything about it so those who haven't played it can go in fresh. Those who have played any games in the Call of Duty series know how realistic it is. This is very realistic and in modern day so it hits home pretty dang hard.

The auto aim feature that was used in previous Call of Duty games is back, it's cool to be able to pull the left trigger and instantly be aiming at an enemy. This game is non stop action with tons of explosions and often in tight quarters, It's super intense. Some have been saying it's like playing an action blockbuster movie, I would have to agree. I felt like I was on the edge of my seat the whole game. Some missions had gadgets and/or explosives mapped to the D-pad which was a very nice and welcome addition. The mission where you're playing as the gunner on an airplane was fantastic, you have three guns at your disposal and they're all very destructive.

Okay, so the mission where you play as Captain Price, a sniper, is freaking awesome. Sneaking past enemies, silent kills, and taking on waves of enemies was so cool. The end of this game was very memorable and I think I'll always remember it, it gave me chills!

My only complaints, which are very minor, are that you can't walk through some bushes, you get stuck behind stuff easily, and it's a short game, only six to seven hours long.

Story: 8/10 The opening video before the main menu screen does a good job at getting you pumped up. The story isn't really clear. You're trying to kill or capture two very dangerous enemies. It does a pretty good job at keeping your attention but you'll be wanting to play missions rather than paying much attention to the story.

Graphics: 9/10 My first impression was "wow"! Environments, guns, people, explosions, and texture on trees and rocks look really good. It's a very realistic looking game. The inside of the houses were the only things that looked kind of bad.

Sound: 10/10 It's obvious that Infinity Ward put tons of care into the sound of this game. The guns, explosions, and dialogue are all amazing! You can hear the grenades very clearly as they land next to you. The music is good and comes in at the right time. As you steady your sniper rifle you take a deep breath and I thought that was a very nice touch. The guys in the airplane are hilarious.

Replay Value: High The online multi player is insanely fun and addicting. Leveling up, adding attachments to your weapons, kill streaks, and unlocking perks is so fun. You can also collect laptops (enemy intelligence) throughout the game to unlock cheats. You can also play through the levels again in arcade mode to get high scores. This adds very high replay value.

Overall: 9.25/10 This is an awesome game that deserves all the praise it's been getting. I recommend this game to anyone looking for a great gaming experience. It's an awesome feeling to look down the scope of your sniper rifle and pick off your enemies.

HAPPY GAMING!
