Worth the wait
I picked this up last night at midnight from the place i work (game) and have been playing it ever since , it is outstanding. Graphically it is on another level to nearly all games out at that monent. It looks great on an HD tv but m sure it would look excellent on a normal tv. The single player took nearly six hours for me to complete which is quite short, it does not disapoint being all action from start to finish in a very nice variety of locations. There is a point in the story which is simply put the gaming moment of this year for me ( i know that makes no sense but when you arrive at it you will know). The only flaw is there is no Co-op story mode but that is made fine by the actual Spec-ops mode which is co-op and has a variety of missions, which are so good to play with a friend. I tried firing up the multiplayer earlier on this morning and already theres a load of people playing it and with good reason its great also i would say its better than in the original because of all the small difference that have been made, they add up to something big i feel.
Overall if you own a 360 you must buy this and experience the best game of the year.
Worth every penny - and yes - it meets all the hype in the world !
This is gaming at its absolute best. In HD is mind-blowing; the graphics incredible and the sound effects awesome. The maps are huge, vast and detailed and this game will (like its predecessor) provide months and months of top quality gaming.
After the wait, the hype and the queueing at midnight, I'm pleased to say it was all worth it. To anyone luckily enough not yet to have discovered the awesomeness of the COD games then buy in the knowledge you're about to enter a new world of incredible game play; to those already familiar - why haven't you bought this game yet ??
The "sad" thing about this game is that it blows away other "similar" titles, kinda spoils you, and sets a very high benchmark for future titles to attain.
Awesome Graphics
The graphics on Modern Warefare 2 are absolutely mindblowing; there is a great deal of detail in every scene. Whilst the game is very short I have almost completed it in under a day; there are some very good scenes- such as when you escape on snowmobiles or when you go into the slums of Brazil in order to get a prisoner whom might be useful in an exchange. However, there is one scenario on story mode which goes too far I won't spoil it but I don't think it adds anything to the story and honestly i can't believe they have been allowed to keep it in especially as this happened in real life.
Having been used to played WAW my gripe is the same as for Modern Warfare on multiplayer mode in that I don't think the weapons have the same characteristics and variety as in the multiplayer on WAW. As with Modern warfare I think story mode is where the game excells whereas with WAW I think the opposite is true and it is the multiplayer which makes the game so great.
In short i think a lot of people will want to rent this game as i have as it has a very short game play unless you are a big fan of the multiplayer mode and have enjoyed Modern warfare then you won't be disappointed.
