Hello Again Gamers,
Today i'm gonna give you a review on one of the 2007 best Playstation3game which is "Call of Duty 4".
This game got a great feedback from many website including outstanding website like gamespot.com (Call of Duty 4 got 9.0 from Gamespot's Editor). Because of its great story, graphic especially brilliant action, Fascinated is the general feeling for hardcore gamer who already own Call of Duty 4. Therefore, Call of Duty 4 is Playstation3game that must be owned by every gamers.
Let see interesting review from E. Hollingworth "W V V O" (Tonbridge, UK) who wrote his commet in Amazon.co.uk website. He stated that
"I was shocked, amazed and relieved when I heard about a year ago that the Call of Duty franchise was in for an overhaul and was going to be set in present day. To be frank, I think that WW2 has been done to death in video games. However, like many others, I was a little apprehensive as to how well it would be pulled off. Thankfully there is no need to worry because Call of Duty 4 is probably the best Call of Duty game that has ever been made and arguably game of the year.
Like many other Call of Duty games, the story is told through the perspective of more than one soldier. Throughout the game, you play as Sergeant John "Soap" MacTavish of the 22nd SAS regiment and Sergeant Paul Jackson of the American 1st Force Recon and another surprise character. Without giving too much away, the game is basically about a Russian ultranationalist called Imran Zakhaev who is set on returning his homeland to the times of the Soviet Union by revolting against the current government and seizing a nuclear weapons stockpile. The story is very good overall and fits together very nicely.
There are 4 difficulty settings which are easy, regular, hardened and veteran and there is quite a spread between these. There are a few niggles to the single player and one is its length. I found myself completing it on hardened within 6 hours and for more experienced players than me this could go down to 4-5 hours. Another gripe is the repetitivity involved during the game.
Most of the time, you find yourself killing wave after wave of enemies. In the end it all gets rather tedious. When single player has been finished, you are in for a treat. The multiplayer in Call of Duty 4 is spot on and extremely addictive (while it lasts).
The multiplayer is level and experience points based where you start as private (level 1) and finish as commander (level 55) (above general). As you progress through the ranks, you unlock more weapons and perks which then you are then permitted to use on the battlefield. The multiplayer also uses experience points which can be achieved by killing people, completing mission objectives (such as planting bombs or capturing the flag) or by completing challenges.
By completing challenges for weapons you can unlock red dot sights, acog scopes and silencers etc. If you wondered what perks were, they are basically abilities. You can have up to three perks which for example could be extra ammo, or extra grenades, the ability to reload faster, the ability to drop a live grenade when you are killed etc...
My personal favourite is called last stand. (much like the single player finale) It is where, when you get hit enough times by the enemy, (instead of dying) you drop to the floor with your pistol. You are then allowed about 15 seconds (providing you don't get shot again) of shooting with your pistol until you get killed. This can be very handy, especially at getting revenge on the opponent who put you in that state. When you just start out in the game, there are pre-set classes which you are able to use but as you climb up the ranks, you can create your own classes with your own choice of weapons which help in making the classes more individual.
Moving on, the only gripe I have with the multiplayer is the length. It will take most people about 50 hours of solid gameplay to reach the rank of commander. Once you have reached commander (level 55), you will probably find the game gets slightly boring as there is nothing to unlock. In conclusion, Call of Duty 4 should probably be owned by everyone who plays video games, let alone those who are fans of the genre. Congratulations to Activision and Infinity Ward who produced a cracking game which hardly disappoints. If you don't already own this game, then I strongly suggest you buy it soon.
I shall now rate the game
Gameplay: 9/10. Slightly repetitive at times but generally very good. Multiplayer can have you playing for hours at a time.
Graphics: 10/10. Stunning visuals. From the lighting to the character models, all are superb.
Sound: 9/10. This aspect does not disappoint. Excellent voice overs, atmosphere and music.
Lasting Appeal: 9.5/10. Although the single player is short, the multiplayer is what this game is all about. This game will probably take the average gamer roughly 60 hours to complete.
Overall, I give this game 9.5.
This game is a real masterpiece. If you liked this game, then I recommend other games in the genre such as Crysis, The Orange Box, Gears of War, Timeshift, Medal of Honour: Airborne, Rainbow six: Vegas and STALKER: Shadow of Chernobyl, all of which I have played, completed and enjoyed immensely."
