I'm not a guy that plays everyday, 7 hours a day...I've got a life. However, I enjoy playing first shooter games and I bought a PS3 system recently. This game is hands down, the best first shooter I've played. The graphics, action, and multi-player levels make for a good time that won't go away anytime soon. If you want a great storyline and voice acting...go rent The Lion King. This game gives you a mission and a crap load of obstacles that challenge you every step of the way. Good stuff!
I rated this a perfect 5 out of 5, due to my simple criteria, "Will I still be playing this game six months from now?" The answer is a definite yes. For all the nerds out there that poo poo on us simple folks for bestowing perfect scores too easily, relax. It will be okay. It's my opinion and we don't have to agree. By the way, if you don't think it deserves a perfect score...you're wrong!
The one thing I'd like to see the makers of Call of Duty 4 do, is allow owners of the game to upload new gaming scenarios and battlegrounds. We have to get updates periodically anyway. If you don't have this game, quit spending your extra cash on pen protectors and tape for your glasses...take those savings and buy this game.
 Amazing Game but Amazingly Short June 22, 2008
K. Byrne (Ireland)
This is one of the best FPS I have ever played but I couldn't believe it when the credits started rolling after a couple of hours in a single player game.
I know there is more to the game playing online but i just was left wanting more.
Visually breathtaking, but short - 4 stars.
One word........pwned July 29, 2008

This game is awesome its a simple as that. Although the campaign is short (it can be beaten between 4-7 hours) it is non stop action with a great story and AMAZING GRAPHICS. Everytime I turn on the game I am amazed by the visuals.
The best part of the game is obviously the online gaming. I am addicted and I need rehab. Get this game now. Click on BUY NOW!!!!! My PSN ID is Preacha1111 I will be waiting......
Stunning and intense August 2, 2008

I have 3 genres that I typically tend to avoid when a new game hits the market. Fighters, racers and first-person shooters. Err, rather I should say FPS that deal with the topic of war since others like Bioshock, Half-Life or Halo are perfectly fine for me but redoing World War II events over and over again have begun to bore me over the years. It's quite an accomplishment we even won that war since the amount of Nazis I've killed over the years (and respawning ones at that) gets quite repetitive and same-y. In comes "Modern Warfare" which not only brings acting as a soldier away from past year and into a more contemporary setting but it also brings some things that completely enrich the experience and make it way more memorable than other FPS (which is ironic since the next installment is again going back to WWII...ugh). While there's problems that completely aggravated me at times, it's still an intense and fun shooter.
Story: Instead of Nazis, we're dealing with Middle Eastern and Russian terrorists and the threat of nuclear weapons. You play as a United States Marine and a British SAS as you uncover the plot of who's behind it all and trying to stop any plans they might have. While typically avoiding the storylines in FPS' and just concerned myself with shooting some bad guys, this plot was quite riveting and indeed many moments in the game such as a sinking ship, helicopter crashing towards you or one shocking moment in one storyline, the plot may not be the most indepth but it's still quite awesome.
Graphics: The graphics in most FPS' tended to look fairly flat with grass looking more like flat 2D stuff akin to Paper Mario, Modern Warfare is immensely detailed and there's many scenes where there is just so much going on that it completely sucks you in and explosions, air strikes and the like are very impressive. Even small things like the trail a bullet leaves after a sniper hit or the smoke left by a grenade is well done.
Sound/Music: But anyone who knows war movies knows it's all about the sound and the mix brings the intensity needed tenfold and in the most thrilling and action-packed parts, the sound here will give your stereo hookup a great workout. The voice acting is also good and even though there's no familiar VA's, the marine chatter and battle comments don't become grating like hearing a soldier cheering that "he got one" for the 100th time.
Gameplay: The gameplay is pretty much similar to most FPS from reloading, gun exchanging to grenades and lobbing thrown ones back to using turrets but its more refined and I never felt annoyed because my character did something that my hand didn't do. Other than that it's very straightforward from there on in and there's no real sudden curveballs. One thing that did bug me was finding the enemies is still the old "whatever direction the red arrow points to" only after you're shot so you have to turn to find out where it is but since enemies are so intent on killing you, you'd probably end up dead before you got a shot off though there is some luck.
That was the major problem I had with this game: the difficulty and frustration that frequently set in during missions. I can't count how many times I had to repeat a section because of how fast I died and well enemy AI is great and no longer just charge at you firing randomly, they're still a bit TOO good and enemies from 200 yards away can get a better shot off than I can. While I wouldn't say the game isn't fun for what it is, there's times where I felt like punching something because of how hard it was to do a simple objective.
With a short single player but a robust and popular online multiplayer available, Call of Duty IV is a great ride on any system (despite my own gripes about the difficulty).
