Truly one of the best games ever!

COD4 is truly one of the best first person shooter games. You can play the story mode which takes you through an entire war, with a detailed and intriguing story, and has many different styles of play. Some stages will require straight gun fights, while others will require you to be stealth and snipe your enemies from afar.

The best thing about this game is the Multiplayer function. This is such a great feature as it extends the play value of the game. In most games, once you beat the story mode, there is hardly any reason to play again. however, in multiplayer mode, you will be playing with other gamers around the world online, for free, and get to eliminate each other. Multiplayer mode has many different modes to choose from such as "capture the flag", or "free for all" but the main objectives are all the same. eliminate your opponents!

If you need more detailed footage of the game, just youtube it and see how the game play is in action.

The game of the year edition is a true value as it gives you a code to download 4 extra maps that did not come out with the original version. this is a $10 value that us early COD4 adopters had to pay for, but with this edition, you get everything early COD4 users got, plus the 4 extra maps!

One of the Best Shooters Out There

If you love playing Unreal or Halo, this game will probably catch you off guard. However, in the recent surge of "realistic" shooters, COD4 really seems to take the cake. The story mode is enthralling through most of the missions. If you haven't played many next-gen games before this, you'll likely play through the first mission with your jaw on the floor. The game looks very detailed and gameplay is smooth and entertaining.

Even as good as the one-player missions are, the real reason for buying this or most shooters is for the online play. You'll find plenty of opponents waiting online in one of the many gameplay types. Online games range from 4-18 players depending on the mode, and it has a big effect. Smaller games will make you feel a little more adrenaline because you don't know where the next enemy is going to jump out. Some of the bigger games can be a little more laid back, and make it easier to play without be afraid of dying.

The interface of the game is well-made, controls are smooth, even if they may take a few plays to get used to, and sounds and visuals are realistic for the weapons and maps. This is not a game where you can run straight through the middle of a field and come out on the other side alive, since 3-4 bullets from many guns will kill you. That said, a lot of the games will require you to out-think your online foes, or at least be quicker to the draw.

This Game of the Year edition of COD4 comes with (I believe) 4 extra maps in a "map pack", a $10 value for free. This was not a breaking point for me in the purchase, but some of them are pretty cool. When you enter the code in the Playstation Store and download the maps, you then install them to the HDD and they are immediately playable in split-screen and online modes. They are all pretty fun to play, but if you can find COD4 without the GOTY distinction for a cheaper price (I'd say at least $10) go ahead and pick it up. The extra maps aren't really used enough to be necessary.

All in all, it's the best shooter in terms of realism I've played to this point, and I'd recommend this game for anyone who enjoys shooters (with a little strategy) or anyone who likes military games, because this game immerses you in military lingo and strategy, especially in the solo missions.

Great Game - My Husband Loves It!!!

This game keeps my husband playing for hours and hours. He is constantly after my two boys (both video game junkies) to play with him. Great game, great graphics. Note to wives - will give you some free time :)

Awesome multiplayer and great sound

If you have a surround sound system, this game is for you. This is what the PS3 was made for. It's almost eerie how awesome the sound is on this game. It's almost worth it just for that.

Luckily, the multiplayer experience is even better than the sound. Even though it's nothing that hasn't been done before, it still is one of the best MP experiences out there. Buy this game if you like FPS.

Great game but.....

This was a good game. The feel that you were actually on the front lines was there but the single player is so darn short!!! I finished it in one day (with shopping and a 2 hour nap break!) And the multiplayer was OK. It looks great, feels great, but at least make it last a day!!!

best game for playstation 3

This game is great.. The online play is spectacular. The missions are cool, the graphics are superb and the cities give sense of really being in combat and having to watch your rear. I prefer the hardcore online, with no radar, and limited special weapons. If your playing this way you ad the last elements for a great online game...suspense and suprise. You will really get knots in your stomach while trying to creep around with team mates no knowing were them enemy is hiding. I hope COD5 is as at least as good as this one...

Great game

If you only have a PS3 lets face it, you only have a short list of great games to play. This should definitely be on your play list.

Great actions, really fun multi-player. Should be in your collection if you only have a PS3

Fun for a little bit

This was a really fun game. I played the single player mode and it was cool to go on the different missions. The multiplayer mode is a lot of fun, unless you're new and playing with veterans. The reason i rated it 3 stars is because the play control is absolutely terrible. It was a very poor choice to make it so you have to aim with 2 joysticks. I wanted to rate this game higher because it really is fun to play. However i just can't get over the controls. Unless you play this game 24/7 you'll have trouble aiming. I'd definitely recommend playing this game though.

Short, short, short.

This game was fun and well implemented but.... RIDICULOUSLY SHORT. I finished it in under 6 hours and I'm not even a very good player. I don't know how they could award this game "Game of the Year." I feel ripped off for my money.... this did not feel like a full length game.
