3.0 out of 5 stars
Great game, suspect package??, 1 May 2008
Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars
This review is from: Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare - Game of the Year Edition (Xbox 360) (Video Game)
1stly let me say. This is not just and Amazon issue, all sites appear to use the same ad discription.
The extra levels are NOT INCLUDED on disk. You have to download them. In the pack you get a code, which you enter on a web site. You then recieve a "redeem" code for Xbox Live. Enter this code and then down load.
Why is this an issue? I bought the GOTY version based on all the adverts and thinking the levels were on disk. Had I known prior to purchase they were not, I would have bought second hand and then bought the levels thus saving around £5. But more importantly, I would have made a reasoned decision based on the info given.
Remember, if you download you can't sell on. You can't recover your investment. So the GOTY version will not have the equivalent value had it included the levels on disk. Wanna see a GOTY of real value check out Oblivion GOTY, all Extra levels including Downloads on disk.
As I said not just an issue for Amazon but for all UK based advertising.
And Qudos to Amazon for allowing buyers to give this info in the reviews. Game and Play delete these reviews (to prevent lost sales?)

5.0 out of 5 stars
No One Else Mentions This..., 20 April 2008
Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars
This review is from: Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare - Game of the Year Edition (Xbox 360) (Video Game)
You've all played the game before so I won't touch on that. In relation t the four brand new multiplayer maps though. They do NOT come on the game disc, the game disc is exactly the same and the Standard Version.
Another reviewer said when you buy this you save effort and hard-disc space. Wrong. What you get when you buy this is the game, and a leaflet, the leaflet has a code on, you enter the code online, get a code for Xbox Live, enter the new code on Xbox Live and get to download the maps, basically you get 800MS Points in the box.
Don't buy this expecting the new maps to be on the disc.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Capture the Objective!, 22 April 2008
Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars
This review is from: Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare - Game of the Year Edition (Xbox 360) (Video Game)
Firstly, the extra maps "included" with this still have to be physically downloaded (but free) so don't expect to just whack it in and get on with them. They are quite good maps, and make a change from the usual map listings once you've been playing the game for a total of 6 days (144 hours)!
Right, on with the main game. The most stunning thing about this game that you immediately notice is the graphics, they are absolutely unbelieveable and look gorgeous, even on a non-HD tv. On HD, it looks even better. Even when turning your head/camera, the graphics stay as smooth/crisp as ever. The controls are also sublime and are very intuitive.
The single player element to this game is cracking and is an excellent storyline. The levels for each of the missions are brilliantly designed, and offer just the right difficulty curve to keep you hooked and to consistently challenge you. It is great fun, and is definitely worth a couple of replays at higher difficulty levels to get the full experience. The only issue with the single player, as has been mentioned several times before, is that it doesn't last very long. You could easily do the single player campaign in a day. If anything, I think this is a testament to the enjoyability of the single player missions that you don't want to put it down, and would rather carry on playing it till the end!
BUT, multiplayer is where this game is at. Currently, CoD4 is the most played game on Xbox live, and with good reason. It takes all the brilliant graphics, level design and weapons handling and chucks them into an extremely user friendly lobby/server system, which will have you playing in a minute at most. On most of the game modes, you can respawn within a second, which is great when you just want to get on with the fight. Probably the best feature to CoD4 (and FPS as a whole) is the Killcam. This gives you a quick 5 second replay of your death, from your killer's point of view, and is extremely useful in exposing your flaws, things you can improve etc. The other great feature is the ranking system, and the perks/weapons you can unlock as you build up experience. Once you get to the highest level, you can even reset your rank (this is called prestige)and start again with the basic weapons to work your way up again, but with a unique rank badge for that level of prestige (10 in total). This only resets your rank and weapon availability, your total kills/score is still kept on the leaderboard.
The only downside to CoD4 is that it doesn't have the Rainbow Six Vegas feature of cover behind a wall (and peeking around/blind fire) if it had that, this game would be 100% perfect.
If you haven't bought this game by now, what are you doing? Get involved ASAP, before they release CoD5 and everyone jumps ship to that!
