 Bit of a Let down for me April 1, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I am a non Online gamer, and i brought this game to see what all the hype was about. It is a great game for the FPS but i found it a bit too short for my liking because as i said, i dont play online. I am thinking of getting X-box live but untill i do, i felt let down by hte fact that it only has 4 acts which have like 2 - 3 levels in each, i compleated it withint 8 hours on the 3rd setting..
other than that tho:
Graphics 10/10
Playability: 8/10

Before I wrote this review, I read the 1 and 2 star reviews to help me focus on particular areas of the game that may concern some people. I'll start with the Veteran difficulty. While it is indeed very very challenging, it's by no means impossible. Such settings are supposed to be unfair tests on one's grip on sanity; if they think COD4 is hard then they ought to try God of War's final boss on God Mode. I managed to complete the game on Veteran (including the infamous 'Mile High Club' level) and I'm a fairly casual gamer.
People have criticised the length of the single player campaign and to a certain extent I agree with them, it is fairly short. However it doesn't feel short when you're playing it because every single mission is packed with action and stunning visuals. Neither does it ever feel repetetive; every mission feeling very different to the last. One mission in particular that's worthy of note is "Ghillies in the mist" which sees you quietly making your way through the abandoned city of Pripyat to a location where you'll snipe a target from a large distance. This is perhaps the most stunning level i've ever seen in a game.
The main feature on COD4 is it's multiplayer, which is superb. The player can create custom classes to use. These classes consist of a primary weapon (of which there is a good selection) and secondary weapon (pistols). You then get to select a perk from each of three menus. Perks are just that. There are perks to suit every player. New skins can be unlocked for you primary weapons by getting the prerequisite number of head shots. Similairly, things like silencers, laser sights, scopes and grenade launchers can be unlocked for primary weapons with kills. Any lag issues must have been patched out because I very rarely experience it. Half of the players tend to forgo the use of a headset (myself being one) so online play is generally devoid of annoying bickering. There is a mute option should you so desire.
Get this game. It's the best shooter at the moment, period.

There is no doubt that this game looks the business and you are sure to have fun( if not a little shortlived) getting through this game on the standard difficulty setting.
However,I felt that the game should have lasted longer so i was looking forward to prolonging the whole experience on a more challenging difficulty setting.
I set the difficulty level to " Veteran" and thats when this game quickly deteriorated from a 5 star rating to 2 star!
Now dont get me wrong i can accept that the veteran level was going to be tough with loads of gunfire,grenades & RPGs etc.
But what i cannot accept is a difficulty setting that has you battling against gun fire & grenades that appear from nowhere.
You might see enemies lobbing grenades at you but then 2 or 3 more will magically appear at your feet no matter how good your cover is!
What should be a game of skill fast tunrs into a lottery of aimless shooting & headless chicken style running for cover with the knowledge that death is only moments away!
After 100 attempts at the television studio and having read othere reviews of the dreaded " Ferris Wheel Level" i duly raised my white flag and gave up!
The Veteran Level did come with the warning " you will not survive".
How right they were!!!!!!!!!!
