Manufacturer's Description

The call of duty needs answering once again, as the blockbusting first person shooter series returns to the modern day. A direct sequel to Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, you now play new character Sgt Gary "Roach" Sanderson. Your commander is "Soap" from the first game as you join a multinational anti-terrorist squad out to stop Russian ultra nationalists.

Watch your squad grow from inexperienced rookies to veteran warriors
A snowmobile race is just one of the new vehicle sections
Modern Warfare 2 is a direct sequel to Call of Duty 4
You'll journey all around the world in the fight against terrorism

The story mode features an even more varied series of locales than before, including a snowbound mission that starts with a daredevil mountain climb and ends with a high speed snowmobile chase as you make your escape. With other levels set in Afghanistan, Rio de Janeiro and even underwater this has more action than a dozen Hollywood blockbusters.

But that's just the single player mode - the multiplayer is even more ground-breaking than before, with new co-op options and even more rewards and perks for competitive play.

Key Features
  • Call of Warfare - Stunning cinematic action, including new underwater missions, new gadgets such as the motion detector and new vehicles including snowmobiles and more.
  • Rough guide - Massive globe-spanning adventure sees you travelling to the deserts of Afghanistan, the slums of Rio de Janerio and the wilderness of Russia.
  • Bigger world - New larger levels allow you to tackle missions however you want: will you try a frontal assault or a more stealthy approach from another angle?
  • Special co-op - New Special Ops mode will introduce two player co-operative play for the first time, in a series of non-story missions.
  • Be the best - Competitive multiplayer is even bigger and better than before, with new kill streak rewards that unlock everything from supply drops to a AC-130 gunship attack.

5.0 out of 5 stars Modern Warfare 2 Review, 26 July 2011
= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 
This review is from: Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 (Xbox 360) (Video Game)
Buy it. Simple as, everything that follows, for better or worse, this game provides a great experience, fun, varied, engaging and just all rounds awesome.

The story follows on seven years after CoD 4, Soap is now head of Task Force 141, an international special forces unit. After a terrorist attack on Zakhaev international airport Russia invades America as retaliation, but there are underlying motives. As Roach you help Soap and the mysterious Ghost in the task force as you try to uncover the truth, meanwhile your Ranger character tries to defend Washington.

I could go on about controls and level design and such but by now you should know that CoD maintains its high standard, if anything the modifications to the HUD and the increased variety in weapons and objectives means it's even better. On the level design front I have one example. There's one level (no spoilers) where you enter a room before being hit by some rocks. When you have the rocks pulled off you appear in a set place in the room. On my first run through, the run that really counts, I stood naturally in exactly the same spot I woke up in. only after many reruns, where I mucked about and pestered the NPCs, did I realise I always awoke in the same place. Whilst there are set pieces like the aforementioned the levels are still relatively uninterrupted. A number of them provide multiple routes or an open area with many objectives yet you always know where to go. The addition of a marker on your objective helps to maintain direction and flow as do the crisp, clean graphics. All in all just what you'd expect by now.

A point worth mentioning is that where CoD 4 had you in just a handful of different environments this one has a vast range that keep every moment fresh. They range from the snowy mountains and downtown Washington to an oil rig and the favelas in Rio.

So now the downsides, which sadly there are a few of. Many won't care but those that like a good story with believable characters may be disappointed. Whereas CoD 4 had me caring for each NPC and Soap (the playable character) in this game you don't spend enough time with anyone to truly have them grow on you, not even the main playable character Roach. The characters that you do come to love are those that were in CoD 4, hell to finally see Soap fight alongside me was frankly badass. The other issue is that the story is basically bat s*** loopy. It falls into that trap that so many succumb to, the twist. If CoD 4 showed anything it's that games don't need to rely on the twist, strong well-paced narrative can be simply revealed, you know like in all other Medias. So there's a sudden revelation but it soon wears off and leaves a bad taste in your mouth. This is all forgivable though as the presence of Soap and the shear variety kept me engaged throughout, never knowing where I was going next or what I'd be doing. The narrative still does a reasonable job of connecting the levels just in a more ridiculous story arc than I'm used to for the series. This leads onto the final issue that sits less well. This is a series that prided itself on realism and respect for what soldiers really go through but somehow amongst the new tech and high adrenaline gameplay it has somewhat lost its way.

Anyway, I still feel none of this is a deal breaker. You love FPS', you'll love this. You love CoD, you'll love this. You love multiplayer, you get the picture.
Oh one last thing, though the campaign is short it does come with a great single-player/co-op experience in Spec Ops where you can tackle specific variants on scenarios in the modern warfare series alone or with a friend. This may have the most long lasting appeal; it has a variety of scenarios, different difficulties and achievements tied to it. So just to reiterate, buy this game.

The Final Word: More fun than Disney and Christmas ... Combined! Shame about the story.

3.0 out of 5 stars A bit of a late review!, 26 Dec 2011
= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 
This review is from: Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 (Xbox 360) (Video Game)
Over the years the Call of Duty series has set the bar for immersive, action-packed, cinematic FPS gaming, and no matter what camp you're from there's no denying the franchise's influence on the industry.

The real question: has it been worth the wait, and can Modern Warfare 2 live up to the precedent set by over half a decade of Call of Duty tradition? YES

When you look at the total package, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is hands-down one of the best first-person shooters out there, and a truly amazing offering across any system. With that being said, our score comes with a disclaimer. For those planning to check out everything Modern Warefare 2 has to offer - online competition, full co-op Spec Ops mode, as well as the campaign - you're looking at a no-brainer purchase. For the strictly single player crowd, however, Modern Warfare 2 is surprisingly short, and doesn't live up to the standard set by previous Call of Duty games.
