My Review - Call Of Duty : Modern Warfare 2 Single Player

Its here and its bigger than ever.Its Call of Duty : Modern Warfare 2 (just to make things simpler I'll just call it MW2 for the rest of the review)

Now I have to applaud Infinity Ward and everyone who participated in the production of this game because it is simply amazing.Hands down the best game of 2009.

The graphics are stunning and it makes you feel like your in an actual war.This is most prominant in the levels in Washington D.C. It gives you the idea of how Washington D.C would look like in a situation like this.
Its simply stunning.

The story is well writen but I would advice you to throw logic and continuity out the window not because its a bad story but because it has so many twist and turns.My only advice :- dont strain your brain thinking too much about the story ;)

Probably the one and only problem I had with this game was that we are given the option to reduce difficulty but no option to increase it.I found this rather strange.So as an experiment i lowered the difficulty from Hardened to Regular.Regular turned out to be significantly easier.It was then I realised I couldnt reset my difficulty level :(
I had to restart my whole campaign because of this ( laugh it up guys....laugh it up)

I will make a separate review for its multiplayer and special-ops capabilities.

Total ratings : I would rate this game a 9/10

Graphics - 10/10
Story-9/10
Price-6/10 (its pricy at about rm180)

Cod:MW 2 set to make history ?

Game News - Forget the buzz over the next "Twilight" film or James Cameron's "Avatar." The biggest entertainment hit of the holiday season may come on Tuesday, when "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2" hits stores.

The video game published by Activision Blizzard Inc is the most highly anticipated of the year, But it also arrives at a time when the weak economy is punishing sales across the video game industry.

Activision has plenty riding on the launch, and much to lose if the game falls short of expectations. Shares of the company have risen around 30 % this year, outperforming chief rival Electronic Arts Inc's 18 percent gain.

Analysts say "Call of Duty's" audience of hard-core gamers, generally young men, are likely to hit stores in droves to pick up the $60 game. Activision is partnering with 12 retailers including GameStop Corp and Best Buy Co for more than 10,000 midnight store openings in North America.

Sales estimates range from 11 million-13 million units by end-2009, which would put the game in rarefied company.

Activision said preorders set a record. The shooter game is likely to be "one of the largest entertainment launches of any media of all time," CEO Robert Kotick said this week.

MKM's Handler expects "Call of Duty" to sell close to 5 million units on the first day, and 7 million-8 million in the first week. That would beat last year's blockbuster "Grand Theft Auto IV" from Take-Two Interactive Software Inc, which sold 3.6 million units on the first day, and 6 million in its first week or more than $500 million in sales.

So do you guys think it will live up to the hype ? Leave a comment below regarding this.

Terminator any one ?

It seems you guys can very well be the new owners of the Terminator franchise.The franchise is actually up for sale because the company the own all the rights and the characters of the series has gone bankrupt.

Now on a lighter note,im sorry I have'nt been posting anything lately,
