GamesRadar: Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Review

GamesRadar writes: "Having been parachuted into the middle of a warzone in the badlands of Afghanistan, an airstrike has just levelled part of the suburb meters in front of our position. It was close. So close it almost killed our team. As we progress through the deserted streets debris and glowing ash fleck the hot air and it's deadly silent. Too silent. That kind of silence when you know something louder than God is brewing. The tension builds."

I know people are pissed about all of the PC issues, but come on guys. This is still going to be one hell of a game!

I just hope Amazon gets it to me tomorrow...

LOL! You're actually going to waste 60 bucks on this turd of a game!

This joke 'review' is absolutely hilarious when you look back at the foaming at the mouth Xbox fans at GamesRadar:

1.5 - MW2 GOTY?
http://www.n4g.com/NewsCom-... As a PS3 owner I just prefer all gamers not be swayed by GTA4-like reviews. If you like MW and want 2 get it but if you're paid to review a game do your job. Don't gush all over a game like a fanboy.

@1st comment- Those 16 disagrees are completely unwarranted. Doesn't matter in the end though, the majority of the PS360 owners have spoken and MW2 is GOTY. Who cares if AIAS gives Uncharted 2 the award, the gamers know what the true GOTY is and their support will be shown in MW2 sales.

Edit: Exactly man, logic and reason doesn't work on N4G. Like I've heard PS3 fanboys say that AIAS's opinion is worth more than the opinions of the MAJORITY of the PS360 community. The GAMERS choose the game of the year and Modern Warfare 2 IS that game. PS3 fanboys had this year won already since the beginning. They get to play BOTH MW2 and Uncharted 2, the 2 biggest games of the year and they STILL complain. It makes no sense!

"can someone cue me in where MW2 innovates to deserve a 10/10?"
Who says a game needs to "innovate" to get a 10/10? Dude, this could be the best-selling game of ALL TIME and broke Gamestop pre-order records. Lemme clue u in on a lil' sumthin, gamers don't NEED innovation, they want FUN. If innovation was the top priority for gamers then LBP would be the most wanted game of all time, but guess what, its not. Ur entitled to ur opinion, just know that ur in the minority.

Well, it is N4G. You can't really expect logic and reason here.

The game community just has to have a game that they want to see fail...

I guess we just live in a day when people are so empty they have to thrive on cynicism.

1.15 - Omni, Innovation isn't required for non PS3 exclusives, and this proves it.
like without a shadow of a doubt this proves it.

"Been there done that, but whats new SOny?" I was waiting for these reviews, just to highlight the double standards in gaming.

Anyone that thinks MW2 is the BEST GAMING HAS TO OFFER(10/10) is a joke.

1.19 - This game is garbage...
Even though I haven't played it, I guarentee its not as good as uncharted 2, which I also haven't played. Any game that goes to the 360 is garbage, if its not exclusive to sony the game is created by people that don't know how to even make a game. blah blah blah blah blah. Oh in case you didn't get it, that was a typical sony fanboy response to a game that gets a review above an 8 that isn't an exclusive. This sight has gone to the dogs.

Gametrailers. Edge. Eurogamer. When it suits them.

Can't wait to see the hypocrisy flying from these guys. And again, my beef is with biased review systems, not MW2, which I'll be picking up.

I enjoying this game heaps. Like the better games in the series (1,2 and 4) its quite a rush with some great set pieces.

But its not GotY, I dont care who gives it that.
Uncharted has that locked.

PS
Am I the only one who wishes there was a 1st person cover system?

1.22 - oh come on,
Are you guys seriously pissed GR gave the game a 10? He gave ample reason why he gave it a 10. I wonder why so few questioned why UC2 received a 10 from them? Oh that's right because you all agree it deserved the score. Well is it possible that there are other great games, is it possible MW2 is also just as good or wait is it possible he likes MW2 even better? (blasphemy on n4g I know). Its ridiculous, some of you should take a step back and listen to how you sound. If the guy likes the game and feel it deserves a 10, why shouldn't they give it a 10. if youve read enough reviews you should know some games lose their appeal because the lack of innovation hurts its overall value, while some may still have the base formula but manange to make it more intense and really enhance the great gameplay of those that came before, in the end the reviewer only needsto betrue to himself and rate the game accordingly, even if that hurts the fanboys

@Unicron

You know, I used to loath EuroGamer based on the low scores they gave 90% of games. But recently after reading tons of their reviews, I think I finally understand where they are coming from. Can't wait for their review on this game, should be very interesting. Remember, their review scale is different from other websites.

Yeah, probably. If you look on metacritic right now, the PS3 version (having the minimum 4 reviews), is posted with a score of 100, the first I can remember seeing. Whether or not it deserves a 10/10, I don't know, since I haven't played it.

3.2 - THE GAME IS AMAZING...
specially the latter stages. The graphics show more on them too. Its an overall amazing game worth the COD franchise fanbase. I dont know if this game is going to get the GOTY award but for me its one of the best games this year, topped only by UC2 and Killzone 2. I dont know why 360 fans cryticize PS3 fans for dont liking this game. You dont know 360 boys that the expectation for PS3 guys are higher. Anyway I LOL when 360 fans mention it as GOTY only because its going to sell like a porn DVD. Selling dont mean quality you boys...in this case there is quality on MW2. Also 360 fans act like if the game is exclusive to the 360 praising it like crazy...this only prove that this is the ONLY game this year worth playing in the 360. Even Forza cant manage to exite 360 guys.

Anyway the best Multiplatform FPS of the year for sure. PS3 fans dont miss this game cause its amazing. Just as good if not better than COD4.

EDIT: Ohh I finished my downloaded 360 version about a day ago. Im going to buy it tomorrow on PS3 for multiplayer purposes!!
PEACE AND GAMING!!!!

And you want to bite the nose to spite the face? You're a gamer. Worry about the games, and not the politics behind it. If you're a console gamer who lives in America, you're not paying any more for this game than you do for another PS3 or 360 game. Let PC gamers b!tch about it.

10 - so killzone brings
robots, flying robots, invisible snipers and is not scored well by some people because its generic.

Modern warfare 2 brings the ability to control your helicopter and 10/10

After playing MW2 last night, the KZ2 score they gave is justified. However, I don't agree that MW2 is a 10. Uncharted 2 is the closest thing to a 10 I've ever played and I still wouldn't give it a 10. People need to go to the 5 star review. a 5/5 isn't the same as a 10.

11 - Good Review but...
GR... you got a little white stuff on your fa...

Ok you got it.

In all seriousness, there's no doubt MW2 is an excellent game, the actual crew making the games over at IW are top notch... its just their leadership that needs retooling.

That said, GR decided to give the game a perfect a score, with little to no complaints. Signposting? Stupid teams ;_;? Lean? ... these issues seem pretty trivial compared to ACTUAL faults in the game that have been brought up before its release.

I'll chock this review up as another "OMG teh jesus shooter iz finly her! :D"

WHen I get a new game, the first hour or two is complete excitement, but I don't go making ridiculous claims like GR has... "Literally years of entertainment guaranteed" ... :/

I agree.

And that's a jab at GR, NOT MW2, as I've only played a little of it. But I highly anticipate some review outlets that were harping "no innovation" to pull some fun hypocritical BS this week. =)
