 Semi Decent but more of a kids game!!! July 17, 2008

This is my review on Call of Duty 4 - I'll keep it brief
To get the positives out the way:
First thing i would say is this game is really good looking. Not the best but it's really nice.
Second thing i like is the story, the characters were really enjoyable and fun.
Third thing is the sniper mission. It was totally awesome!!!!
Now onto the negatives:
The game play is sooo straight forward it's really quite dull. It's just a plain bog standard shooting game. You follow your teams mates, kill some guys, follow your team mates, kills some guys and repeat til you've completed the game. The only time it breaks out of this boring tradition is the sniper mission that i mentioned above because it was different.
Also there's something with the AI that bugs my happiness. Instead of shooting at you, they prefer to throw grenades... 5 at a time. Like every other COD game it's just bloody frustrating.
OVERALL:
Overall this game is a plain boring shooting game. It's not as good as the first 2 COD games by a long shot. But if you're into cliché boring shooting games like Halo 3 then you'll love it.
If you can get it for about 15 buy it. It'll keep you amused for about 5 hours until you complete it. it's just unfortunatly not as good as the kids make it out to be.
Personally keep your money and buy BIOSHOCK or a Ghost Recon game instead. Play something different. :)
 A good game but inferior to 'Battlefield: Bad Company' July 15, 2008

This is a very good game especially for first-person-shooter addicts. Graphics are excellent, it sounds fantastic and it plays very well. The single-player mode is enjoyable and the multiplayer mode is even better. However, in Multiplayer mode it is limited in its scope and its longevity suffers as a result. Also, the maps are too small which means that bordem sinks in sooner than its main competitor; Battlefield: Bad Company. Unlike Bad Company, in COD4, you cant get in jeeps, tanks and helicopters.
Like I sated ealier, this is a very good multiplayer game, but its not the best first-person-shooter out there .. Bad Company is.
 The game by which all others will be judged July 9, 2008
When I bought this game I just expected C.O.D.2 or 3 but with modern weapons. As far as the story mode goes this is to a large extent what I got with a few notable exceptions. The story line is involving, the combat is intense and challenging (I played on Hardened which made me shout plenty). It is sadly a very short game, but that is made up for by the graphics which are stunning, a complete joy to behold on H.D.,gorgeous,unparralled. Yep I'm quite impressed.
Then there is the online play. It's clear that online play is what this game is about. With many superb maps to play on you can approach most of these utilising the almost limitless combination of weapons available to you. All of the weapons are different and have their own good and bad points each one becoming unlocked as you rank up. The perk system is inspired allowing you augment your style of play so you can carry extra genades if you want to or carry claymores to suprise your enemies with. Other perks include stopping power to increase weapons damage, deep impact to shoot through walls better (great with the RPD)plus many many more which become available as your rank progreses, also there are a multitude challanges to complete which rank you up further when completed. The game play is its self excellent with sniper duals, close combat, grenade fights, air strikes, helicopter attacks and much more all rendered beautifully and incredbly intense.
There are problems with the game, the main ones for me being the spawning system which means you often spawn were you just died(sometimes in front of the player who just killed you) or spawning in the middle of an air strike or the worst for me which is your whole team repeatedly respawning in one corner of the map so your'e all cornered and get hammered. Also the host migration system means that when the host leaves, the battle ends and so does your legendary performance!!(it would of been, honest).
For a long while I just couldn't stop playing, it's the best game I have ever played.
Online Genius, but flawed single player July 8, 2008
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
No doubt this is a very good game, but it should not be getting 5 stars because it does have a number of flaws. For one, the single player game, while fun, the enemies are never ending - literally, its all about getting to the next checkpoint without dying, encouraging reckless running and gunning rather than skillfull gameplay, as if you simply pick off enemies they will just keep on coming. Also, the single player game is pretty short, and not much of a challenge for a FPS veteran.
The multiplayer is incredible, nothing else to be said, just incredible. But you do kind of get the feel it was designed as an online game, with a single player mode attached as an add on. Thats fine if they are clear about this, but if you dont have online access, dont expect a supreme one player experience like Half Life 2 or Bioshock, its not in the same league.
Basically, if you love online shooters, you have to own this, but if you want a one player game, there are lots of better options out there!
AMAZING!....but not without it faults. June 19, 2008

Firstly id like to say, i LOVED this game as a whole.
the game-play is exciting and re-freshingly realistic, the characters are very well done (LOVE YOU GAZ!) the graphics are mind blowingly amazing.
the level where you use the ghili suits was a stroke of pure genius, and the best part is; it's a level DEDICATED to stealth not a level that decideds it wants to be stealth one second and a run-of-the-mill-shooter the other second.
the weapons are amazingly done and look very nice (me and my mp5) and best of all they are REAL, not some stupid future plazoka 9000. the red-dot sights on the guns are great too, this game makes you actually have to aim rather than a caffined up halo 3 fest of run,shoot,run,shoot.
you instantly fall in love with one gun or the next and will use it most of the time, for me and my flat mate it was the P90 and the MP5, silenced was great and to attach a red-dot sight to an already amazing gun....sorry lost track for a second.
the character models are done so well! it's had to belive they actually used LESS triangles for the models than they did in call of duty 2. The SAS look stunning in the black clothes and thier gas-mask uniforms, and the marines look great. they really did in my opinion (sorry if this offeneds anyone) a good idea of killing off the american guy you play as (sgt jackson or something) mainly because i was delighted when i found out the brits where going to be in this game, but in my heart i knew one thing "the americans will get the glory.....because they allways do in war games" but i was wrong, and happy to be.
now the praise has come and gone, i did however have a few issues with the game;
enemys seem to:
know EXACTLY where you are all the time
seem to have 'homeing grnades' at times....
have the amazing ability to sneek up behinde your entire squad
seem resistant to flash-bangs at times
have the ability to see through clouds of smoke at times
can throw a volly of grnades at you (like 5 or 6...we've all been there)
seem to only want to shoot you
can shoot you with an AK-47 from a huge distance and hit you spot on.
your team-mates:
seem to wait for a enemy to kill you before they decide to shoot him
have an amazing ability to never get shot when standing out in the open
will NEVER push forward unless you do
lack the common sence to throw away a grnade that lands next to them
never seem to kill anyone thats close to you, just the ones miles away
tend to ignor most enemys
But overall anyone looking to purchse this game will not be dissapointed ATALL.
xbox live Gtag is "wierd carrot" only "mile high club" to go! raaaaaawwww
add me if you fancy a game or two of cod 4 or TF2 or maybe halo 3 (if i can bare to play that sore excuse for a game)
