    Modern Warfare 2 is an all-round class act. Developers Infinity Ward have raised the bar considerably once again. They’ve broken some new ground but basically improved upon the very sound basis that was Modern Warfare . I don’t imagine I’ll stop playing this before the next Modern Warfare comes out and I’m pretty confident it’ll still be gloriously sitting in the throne of ‘best first-person shooter of all time’ when that happens.

    Over the years the Call of Duty series has set the bar for immersive, action-packed, cinematic FPS gaming, and no matter what camp you're from there's no denying the franchise's influence on the industry. When Infinity Ward moved from the classic World War II setting and blazed new ground with Modern Warfare we saw the first obvious split within the world of Call of Duty. Read more

    Closing Comments When you look at the total package, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is hands-down one of the best first-person shooters out there, and a truly amazing offering across any system. With that being said, our score comes with a disclaimer. For those planning to check out everything Modern Warefare 2 has to offer – online competition, full co-op Spec Ops mode, as well as the campaign – you’re looking at a no-brainer purchase. Read more

    My opinion on Modern Warfare 2 is that it has great graphics. It's very cheap, it has great killstreaks which most don't have and you'll never want to stop playing it. It has mutiplayer Campaign and special Ops. It has loads of games in XBox live and some of the best ones are Team Deathmatch, Search and Destroy, Domination and Team Tactical. It has great guns like the Intervention and Desert Eagle with Tactical knife. So buy this game you'll never get bored of it. Read more

    • It has great graphics, Its very cheap, It has great killstreaks like Chopper Gunner, Tactical Nuke, AC130 and 22 others. It is also a game you'll never want to stop pl...
    • The only Con I have for this game is that the sensitivity doesn't go high enough because it only goes up to 10 which is insane.

    Modern Warfare 2 is undoubtedly the single biggest release this year; not only in gaming but in entertainment, period. It delivers in a lot of areas; it has a campaign marinated in grandeur (even if it is to short) and a deep, engaging multiplayer facet (even if it is littered with connectivity issues). So it's not without its problems, no-one is claiming it's perfect. But as a follow-up to 2007's smash, Call of Duty 4, it progresses in nearly every way. Read more

    • an epic, jaw-dropping ride, Zimmer's score is terrific, when green, online is the best, special ops mode is entertaining, stunning in HD
    • no local game search is just awful..., campaign is far too short, minor plot holes in the story, veteran just isn't hard enough

    This game is worthy of all the hype surrounding it, very tight single play, great addition with spec opps section, same solid multiplay as the original.... but.. I hesitate to find flaw but this needs to be said... Lagg!! From a kiwi perspective this was a huge issue in the first instalment, perhaps the only real issue with it. Read more
