Best darn game there is

I bought this game from Amazon last November as a pre-order. Eleven months later I have wasted a grotesque number of hours playing the online version. This game cannot be beat. I have eleven other Xbox 360 games, including Halo 3 and Bioshock, and I have played none but COD4.

The single player game is the only video game that I have personally played all the way through. It kept my interest and kept me coming back for more. This game is awesome and I have already pre-ordered World at War, coming out in two months.

I have to add that I am in my upper 40s and play online with my nephew who is 800 miles away. We have spoke to each other more in the last three months while playing than we had in the last 10 years.

Very good sarter game

So, this game is a great starter game for most hard core gamers that are only about to buy a 360, so, buy this game with it. The game of the year edition is the exact same as the regular one, but it includes new maps, like kill house and creek. But, im giving this game a 4 and a half out of 5, because creek is very much a camper map. But, this is a fantastic game overall and i recommend it to almost everybody that like FPS's.

Sooooo Good....

The stroy, controls and overall fun factor of the game ranks up with ne there with the Halo franchise, as well as Splinter Cell's (both outstanding in my book). The one dissapointment, in general, being the campaign was MUCH too short. Whatever happened to a game that took two weeks to a month to beat? Nowadays, we're down to a day to a week at most in the vast majority of new games. Nevertheless, multiplayer is untouchable and the realism factor (on hardcore) is pretty intense, though I still think Battlefield:Bad Company wins the "Best" award. Now THAT was a cool story (but also too short of a campaign!) Another thing thy mighty game designers have been leaving out is Co-Op Campaigning, one of the greatest features of any game, regardless of the story. Theres just a cool concept of runnigna round with a buddy and tearing shi- stuff up. Otherwise, AWSOME game.

Just a real quick review. This game is EXCELLENT. Best game for the Xbox 360 and PC, period. This version comes with a token to download the extra map packs. You won't be disappointed.

My Thoughts? - Amazing.

This game is amazing, you have to get it. It has a great campaign mode, even though it is extremely short. I was able to complete the game in about 6-7 hours. However, the graphics, storyline, and gameplay are excellent and keeps you sucked into the game.

The real killer however, is the online multiplayer. Call of Duty 4 has a revolutionary game engine, and is one of the best multiplayer games in my opinion. Levels and ranks lead to better weapons, perks, attachments, etc. This gives you a goal to strive for, and the prestige mode (where you start all over but get a special symbol) is great for bragging rights.

Overall, i'd highly recommend this game to anyone who enjoys first person shooters.

Amazing in all facets

A game that stands the test of time. I've purchased GTA IV, Madden 2009, and several other games and this is still the one that resides in my 360.

The single player is short, but adrenaline-laden. The slow-motion sequences at the ends of certain levels (mile-high club, and the final showdown on the bridge come to mind) are so good that I've replayed them several times!

The multi-player is incredibly fun and engrossing. It's the reason my best friend bought a 360 of his own. All you need is 10 minutes, and you can have a blast on Free for All, or spend more time on one of the "big maps" playing ground war. It's well worth your time and money.

Take it from me...if you look at my reviews, I'm stingy with a 5-star rating, reserving it for only the best (think Resident Evil IV, etc.). Drop a few bucks, and indulge in this one before World at War brings fans back to the reality of prior CoD games...

I like it.

I like it for work pressure relief. Great graphics. You are able to shoot weapons that you can not normally get your hands on including "Puff".

An addictive time-waster

This game is tons of fun in online mode. The single-player mode is fun, too, but it has the same design as others in the series where you have limited ammo and unlimited enemies until you move to the next checkpoint. Keep this in mind or you're screwed.

The graphics and sound are fantastic! See and believe. The weapons have been tweaked so they're more balanced in the game, and less accurate representations of the accuracy and damage of the real things, but so what.

The online game has an innovative system where you earn upgrades by reaching certain achievements, such as a 25 kills with this weapon or killing X number of enemies using C4, and so on. It's frustrating that you can only use two of these upgrades ("perks") at a time, so you can't have increased bullet damage and red dot sights and increased health, but I guess it evens out the game.

I'd give it five stars but a couple of online maps are sub-optimal and really annoying, but overall it's still a blast to play, and if you like first-person shooters you'll be stuck on this for ... a while.

If someone blew you up with a claymore, it's probably me. Sorry.

Nearly Perfect!

Too bad I cannot give this game 4.9 stars. It was that close. Everything good that you have heard about this game is true. There are just some things that seperate it from a full 5 stars.

Actually only 3 come to mind:

In the single player mode, some of the AI characters who are "Force Recon Marines" are Privates (or paygrade of E-1). Perhaps the creators just didn't research their rankings enough. In the American military you advance up to E-3 (Lance Corporal for Marines) after 18 months, any Force Recon Marine would already be long past the rank of Private.

The second mistake was also related to rank. Captain Price is an O-3 (3rd officer paygrade), yet 15 years ago (in the sniper mission) he was a young Leftenant (an O-2). If he was a leftenant 15 years ago he should be at least a Lt. Colonel (O-5) or Colonel (O-6) by now. Yes O-6 in the Navy is called Captain, but then he would be placed in a desk job in any case. Either way for him to still be a Captain he would have had to have been reduced in rank several times, and have higher-tenured out (released prior to retirement for failing to pick up rank in a set number of years).

The third and last gripe I have is with the sniper mission. Great mission. But the sniper rifle you use when posting out in the Hotel is supposed to be the barrett M107, which was not around 15 years ago, when that mission was set.

These may seem rediculous, but hey, 5 stars doesn't come easy. Wish I could give them 4.9 stars, but 4 will have to suffice.

I have had this game for a long time absolutely the most fun multiplayer game i have ever played period!but at one point when i had prestiged for the 4th time i got the RROD on my 360 and had to send it in to get fixed.so missing the action i bought it for my ps3 in the meantime had to start from square one on prestige.the ps3 version was very dissapointing didnt have the graphical flair the 360 had.some text was missing on creat a class.some sound effects were missing.this game was definatley geared more for the 360 fan base.and the ps3 server for playing online was awful. connection was always getting interrupted causing games to end early.xbox live only had those issues maybe once a week.so get it on xbox 360 you will be glad you did.
