Call of Duty 4 is definitely an epic game. Epic Single-player, epic multi-player, epic graphics, epic voice acting and so on.
Its not just a normal casual shooter, it stands out in its own way and
it really feels good to sit down and play it. The only thing thats sad
is that the Single-player is really short, maybe 4-5 hours for a normal
first person shooter gamer, but you want to play it over again, just to
see the awesome thing happening again. Now into more detail:
Graphics: In graphics, this game looks good even on 640 x 420 and on
the highest quality in all, its like a movie with real actors, and
you're one of them. Every single thing in this game is textured in such
a great way, that it looks like the developers have used 1 week on each
item if not more. Every character are having the best looks that just
put's them out and you remember them. For example, the character called
Captain Price, I will for sure remember him for the next couple of
years, because his look and voice acting is just so solid, and his
movements are so well animated too, and because of all these things
combined together, it just makes this game so good to looks at!
Sound: Sounds, sounds, sounds, they are awesome. Each weapon, character
and action have their own voices, or sounds (There is over 30 weapons
and over 25 different characters) Imagine you have to import all of
them voices and sounds in to a game and they have to be top notch
quality. These guys/girls did an awesome job in this and just the
sounds and graphics combined, you want to buy the game. Well, I would.
Gameplay: The gameplay in this game is epic, EPIC I tell you! Even
though you complete the game once, you want to complete it again, and
again, and again. Then when you've completed it several times, there is
the EPIC multi-player. Unlike the other Call of Duty games, that had a
horrible multi-player, in this game, the multi-player is as good as the
single-player, if not better because at day 1 they had 2 teams, a
single-player development and a multi-player development team. The
other Call of Duty games they had one development team to do it all, so
now, its quality work! Its like Battlefield 2. You start at level one,
and each thing you do gives you experience, from killing players to
planting the bomb. Then you gain levels and each 2 level you should
advance in rank. Like Private and Corporal, then you should get new
weapons and stuff. And when you for example kill 100 players with an
M4A1, also known as colt, you get a new camouflage to your weapons to
make it looks cooler. You also gain new equipment to your weapons and
things like that. You also unlock perks. Now, perks are like super
powers. Some may do so you can sprint for a longer period of time or,
you might even get one so you can hold 4 special granades instead of
one. You can have 3 on you at once and you can change in the create
class menu. The create class is where you add weapons, camouflage and
perks to your different classes that you have created yourself. And as
you may see, the multi-player have lots and lots of stuff to unlock,
and the good thing is that a level 1 game easily kill a level 55,
(Which is the highest level) because the level 55 is not better than
him because of all the stuff he have. He just have more things to
juggle his character with.
Storyline: At first the storyline may seem confusing, but as you play,
you get more information about the main storyline and it becomes more
intense. This game is actually the most evil one to date, because
instead of the second world war, you have modern war. In Iraq and
stuff. But this storyline is about nuclear weapons and how the military
will cope with that and its just so intense and you really get into the
game. Then at the end of the storyline, all the loose ends get together
and you just sit and watch the final cutscene with your mouth open
thinking: "Wow!"
So overall this a really good game that anyone could enjoy if they are in to first person shooters.
