The classic war game reinvented into Call Of Duty 4.

In this the 4th installment of the very popular War game, Call Of Duty 4 moves away from the overly used WWII environment, we have seen to many games rip off the Call Of Duty franchise by using this setting, some although using it very well, many also managed to sully the setting almost into unforgivable boundaries.

Instead of rehashing the WWII format Infinity Ward gives us fresh, modern and a usable setting, in my opinion this is the thing that makes Call Of Duty so good.

Now the story is set around two main Characters one who works for the stealthy side and another who is more in the thick of all the action, this offers a real variety to so many of the missions, instead of just doing the same thing with once character over and over again, we find ourselves looking at two sides of the game, one in which you can take a conservative approach, taking out enemies with minimal noise and "attention, while in on the other side of the story, you have a guy who goes in to everything balls and all, and it is non stop furious action.

The story is really what makes this game though, right from the first mission aboard an enemy ship in which you need to track down some documents you can tell that this is going to be a barenuckle fight for victory, all throughout the game you will marvel at the wondrous environments in which you are playing and amaze at how cinematic everything is, many points during the game you will be watching and thinking it is a cut scene when in fact you are having to control the player, the main mission in which you could do this is one in which your a gunner on a chopper having to pretty much total a small town in order to keep your team safe from the many number of enemies, the sheer brilliance and fun of this mission alone will keep you wanting more and thankfully getting it.

Another great mission sends us back 15 years to one of the commanding officers old memories, boy is this mission brilliant, I don't think I have ever played a game nor a mission that is as good as this, not to mention realistic, you are required to do some "simple" tasks in taking out enemies, creeping around trying not to alert anyone otherwise it is "bye, bye birdy", unfortunately these tasks are not "simple", you need to time and place them just right otherwise the cavalry comes looking!

To cap this all off you are required to take out a target from a damn far way off, you need to account for wind, distance and then pop this guy, it may take you 3-4 goes but it is worth it, the following pursuit from this shot is just another fantastic thing to behold in this game.

I will guarantee that after this game you might very well need to have your jaw smashed back into place because your mouth will be wide open just marveling at the awesomeness of this game for all of it.

Finishing up now, as I have written a fair bit, this game is a must have for any owner of a console, if you haven't got it yet or are considering it, then go out right now and get it, go on, go right now!
