Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 (Xbox 360)

A stunning sequel to an already stunning franchise.The story of Modern Warfare 2 picks up straight from where Call of Duty 4 Modern Warfare left off. This can be a little confusing as there was another Call of Duty game released (Call of Duty World at War) in between by another developer (Treyarch).The story again is like playing through a Hollywood blockbuster film and the Activision stuck to their guns with the formula of COD4.Why fix what aint broke? They did however make a few tweaks which only made the game better. Things such as making a shotgun as a secondary weapon online - as it was a waste of a primary in the first game (due to their limited role) so they didn't get used.Kill streaks were now hugely varied and are now customisable. Originally it was 3 kills for a UAV, 5 for a harrier strike and 7 for a chopper.Now you still have only 3 but you could choose whatever you wanted from numerous different streaks. The higher the streak, the more effective the reward.Additionally you had something they called player cards which consisted of a symbol and a background that you could project a bit of personality into so the person could see who killed them.These again are amassed over time by completing various challenges keeping the game interesting and again, very addictive.Oh I totally forgot an entire portion to this review! SPEC OPS!Spec ops is an additional set of 'mini missions' to play in additional to the story and online.A series of challenging missions that you can do alone or with a friend online to try and obtain 3 stars on each.An impressive amount were available with the games release but as per usual, more are available if you're willing to cough up extra cash for a couple of extra downloadable content packs that contains a few extra online maps as well.From this point on, the Call of Duty franchise had an awesome amount of content on release which was more than adequate. But for those that wanted more the Call of Duty cash cow provided.

Very good arrived next day thanks

As one of the most critically acclaimed shooters of all time, Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare is a prime example of a tough act to follow. Yet, amidst a raging storm of anticipation and expectation, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 has done it. The campaign is chock-full of intense action and dramatic moments, and though it is more muddled than its predecessor (in more ways than one), it's still an absolute blast. The new Special Ops mode allows you to experience some campaign-inspired thrills with a friend and it's an engaging challenge to coordinate your maneuvers and tackle the varied objectives. Last but not least, the competitive multiplayer that took the online shooter community by storm two years ago is back and better than ever. Though the addictive action remains the same at its core, there are a host of new elements that make it more accessible, more strategic, and more rewarding. This all adds up to a thoroughly excellent package that is sure to thrill shooter fans and deprive them of sleep for months to come.

The disc works perfectly in the Xbox series X only downside is the disc came with a few minor scratches and was full of greasy finger prints and very dusty but was fine after was cleaned

My husband enjoyed it.

Honestly the best game I’ve ever played! Sums up my childhood in one game. Perfect

This is gaming at its absolute best. In HD is mind-blowing; the graphics incredible and the sound effects awesome. The maps are huge, vast and detailed and this game will (like its predecessor) provide months and months of top quality gaming.After the wait, the hype and the queueing at midnight, I'm pleased to say it was all worth it. To anyone luckily enough not yet to have discovered the awesomeness of the COD games then buy in the knowledge you're about to enter a new world of incredible game play; to those already familiar - why haven't you bought this game yet ??The "sad" thing about this game is that it blows away other "similar" titles, kinda spoils you, and sets a very high benchmark for future titles to attain.

This is one of my top purchases from amazon! I bought it so me and my brother could play it and have a good time, and surely enough we did! The career mode is very intense and it's almost like watching a high production value movie!But when you're done that you can move on to the famous multiplayer mode where the possibilities are endless!You can play online with friends and family through Xbox Live or simply invtite a friend over and he can pick a controller up and you can start battling against each other in one of the wide range of realistic map packs!Activision - the creators of the game - release map packs every so often so really the fun never ends with Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2!Ray
