 Get ready to be shellshocked. COD4 is the best online Multiplayer game bar none. November 5, 2007

This is a review about the multiplayer. After all this is why most of us bought this game. After having been a part of the Beta Test on the 360 I can tell you that this is without a doubt the best multiplayer experience I've ever had on any console be it 360, PC or PS3. It's fantastic folks and it's the reason multiplayer was invented so we could get games like this.
First the basics. This is a military shooter. But where this stands apart from all the shooters out on the market right now is that it's one of the first to take the battlefield into the Middle East and modern day hence it's name. This is something a lot of us have longed for. No longer are we fighting Nazis we are now fighting Terrorists. And the game is better for it. Not that I did not enjoy the WWII epics that have come down the pike but this is without a doubt a refreshing change of pace and really amps up the magnitude of intensity and really puts a refreshing spin on the series.
The graphics. You will be hard pressed to find a better looking FPS right now except per say Bioshock. But we are talking about realism and a military shooter here and this is where Call Of Duty 4 really just explodes with eye candy. You will feel like you are in the locations you are fighting. This is the best looking game I've seen period when it comes to realism. Infinity Ward did a bang up job and your jaw will be on the floor.
The single player mission is no walk in the park either. Play it on Veteran. While this is a great aspect to the game it's short lived and that's OK. Think of the single player experience as your basic training for the multiplayer. It's worth playing through and the story is really tight.
The bottom line is that multi console owners can rejoice because there is a game across the board that shines on any of the systems you own and this is without a doubt one of the best games for the dollar. Don't even fret about picking this up if you are into FPS as this is one of the best ones to date and has raised the bar on what a good military FPS is all about.
Enjoy!

Lots of fun, but it is way too short. Over in less then a day. Rent, do not buy.
 Try the demo before you buy - dissapointing when compared to other games in the same genre November 26, 2007

I was dissapointed in two areas, enough to give it a 2 star rating:
1 - in-scene/game experience - when compared to Battlefield 2, Ghost Recon (GRAW 2), and Halo 3, I found the game experience in COD4 very linear and constrained. In this respect, it is closer to Medal of Honor Airborne, which I prefer from the recent batch of games in this genre.
2 - graphics - it did not find it as visual compelling and presenting as rich of an environment as GRAW 2 or Halo 3
On the positive side, it felt consistent in terms of performance (fps) and the cut scenes are very interesting and well made.
Overall, I recommend trying it out before buying, so that you are not disappointed afterwards.
Good game , but .... December 7, 2007

In fact, the worst thing in the game story, which is detrimental to the Arabs directly and indirectly. The city of Jeddah in the game is not as presented has been presented as a backward city and the old way. The game is good, especially online mode .
An Almost Unbelievable Experience November 7, 2007

From the moment you turn this game on you are swept into a reality that is all to similiar to what is going on in today's world. The storyline is something you have probably heard before on the news. Out of control regimes in the MidEast and potential anarchy in the old Soviet Union. The two factors make for a very intense game. I don't even know if game is an appropriate title for something so realistic. Your mission is to stop a rogue government from getting their hands on nuclear weapons. Obviously a big challenge for anyone.
If you have played previous Call of Duty games you know the quality that goes into the gameplay. Never overly to difficult for a first timer. Much of the combat is very similiar to previous COD games. The objectives are always short enough to keep the player involved. What sets this Call of Duty game apart from it's previous incarnations is the amount of realism that has gone into it. The graphics and sound are so real that you could almost think your watching a movie....Actually more real than a movie. The only thing that may be lacking in this games single player missions is the lack of co-op play and the overall shortness of the game. Most will have it completed under six hours. Of course you can always give it a try and a more difficult setting.
The online multiplayer is amazing. To say the least I didn't expect it to be this intense. From the moment you start an online challenge you are thrusted into battle. The game seems to keep the online working in such a way that it seems incredibly realistic. What I also enjoy about the online is that it allows you to rank up rather quickly but you must have enough skill to be an asset on the battlefield. Online there are numerous different missions that keep the game extremely fun and fresh. Although you won't have access to these challenges until you prove your abilities. What also keeps it fresh is the ability to gear your soldier differently as you advance thru the online. This game will definatley have people playing for many, many months.
If you enjoy shooter games and most importantly like realistic war sims then this game is for you. The graphics are amazing, the environments almost look too real, and the sound sets this game apart from others that have flooded the field. If you ever wanted to have an idea of many of the challenges that today's soldiers have to deal with then you need Call of Duty 4. This may possibly be the game of the year.
