Resolution Magazine writes: "It's clear that Infinity Ward has, with Modern Warfare 2, tried to do what many sequels do: increase the body count, upstage the previous iteration's stand-out moments, and in every way fill the screen with spectacle. Almost without exception, Modern Warfare 2 achieves this, but at a slight cost: the veneer of plausibility that made the original Modern Warfare so compelling has been shattered. This sequel stretches credibility to the outer limits of what is acceptable, even for a blockbuster, but successfully glosses over it with fun, frenetic and unrelenting action. This is both Modern Warfare 2's greatest strength and the source of its minor shortcomings."
