 Poor single player, great multiplayer May 28, 2008

Having played COD2 and loved the single player, then played COD3 and loved the multiplayer I was hoping the fourth game in the series would be the best of both worlds. Unfortunately, for me at least, it repeats the pattern of COD3.
The multiplayer is very good and has rightly been a big hit on live. The maps are just the right size, the weapons have subtle differences and the great levelling system rewards you with new weapons and abilities as you gain experience. You can then design your own class with all your favourite weapons and perks. A nice idea which makes the game very addictive.
The single player, while very slick and looking great, mostly consists of very small linear levels with infinitely respawing enemies who magically disappear once you cross an invisible line. Once I realised that sitting back and picking off the bad guys just resulted in them reappearing within seconds, I resorted to a run and gun approach which seems to be the only way to beat the levels. No strategy, no chance for flanking or varying your tactics. Just shoot a few then make a rush for the invisible line which makes them vanish, then be presented with another corridor full of respawing bad guys and, you guessed it...run and gun for the invisible line....yawn. Nearly all the levels consist of this and it gets very boring very quickly. It really feels like a lightgun game in HD.
There are one or two good levels to break up the monotony, for example the excellent All Ghillied Up level but for the most part it is very uninspiring. A real disappointent for a so called top game to use such cheap tactics. But then the graphics are great so it must be a great game, eh?
Great game, suspect package?? May 1, 2008

1stly let me say. This is not just and Amazon issue, all sites appear to use the same ad discription.
The extra levels are NOT INCLUDED on disk. You have to download them. In the pack you get a code, which you enter on a web site. You then recieve a "redeem" code for Xbox Live. Enter this code and then down load.
Why is this an issue? I bought the GOTY version based on all the adverts and thinking the levels were on disk. Had I known prior to purchase they were not, I would have bought second hand and then bought the levels thus saving around 5. But more importantly, I would have made a reasoned decision based on the info given.
Remember, if you download you can't sell on. You can't recover your investment. So the GOTY version will not have the equivalent value had it included the levels on disk. Wanna see a GOTY of real value check out Oblivion GOTY, all Extra levels including Downloads on disk.
As I said not just an issue for Amazon but for all UK based advertising.
And Qudos to Amazon for allowing buyers to give this info in the reviews. Game and Play delete these reviews (to prevent lost sales?)
 Great fun , a tad expensive perhaps? April 29, 2008

First of all I really enjoyed playing this game on single player ! Such a great storyline and really gripping from start to finish . The graphics are fantastic , enemy AI is like nothing ive ever seen before and weapons are wicked ! This game was hailed as being one of the best online shooters ever made , well hmm I am enclined to disagree with that . After playing Frontlines to death over the past couple of months I would have to say I prefer that . Dont get me wrong I really enjoy COD4 online but there always seems to be something lacking . For me this was vehicles and the addition of being able to form your own squads , none of which are evident on the game . I loved those aspects of frontlines and they just are nowhere to be found on COD4 . This is unfortunate because on COD3 there are a few vehicles to choose from : tanks , motorbikes , jeeps etc , I was looking forward to more modern vehicles with number 4 but to no avail :( also there is no Medic class on 4 like there was on 3 :( .
I do like it that you can be promoted to high ranks when playing online , this seperates the noobs from the geeks ! The storyline to this game is very intense , and it interlocks events between two different types of forces in the military .
On the whole I love this game I really do think it was worth playing . However I dont think that the price of the game can be justified , it is very overpriced and just has not come down at all (having said that , now i have baught it at full price it will come down !!)
Anyway Go out buy it , play it and enjoy it !!
when was the last time i did homework? April 27, 2008

as my name suggests, this game is really addictive, i originally bought it for the single player as i did not have xbox live, the campaign mode is brilliant in itself, maybe a little short but its fantastic, and of course the level 'All Ghillied Up' is most probably the best lever for a shooter in all time.
i know have xbox live and i have not regreted it since. I belive this game is mainly multy-player, it is just SO addictive, whenever ive got spare time i go on this, it is just amazing.
Cost of game : 30 Usual cost of extra maps : 7.50(ish) cost of xbox live : 5 a month Cost of killing your friends and proving your the best? : Priceless
