Singleplayer
Call of Duty 4's campaign is extremely short. I'll get that out of the way. In fact, I would have half a mind to not recommend this because of it's length, if not for the ridiculously streamlined gameplay, and amazing production values. You'll be gripping your controller from start to finish.
It is very well balanced and the pacing is phenomenal, on par of a high-quality summer blockbuster. You'll never be in one place too long, and the game never outlives it's welcome. It is over in a flash, but that's the perfect time to switch to good old multiplayer.
Multiplayer
COD4's multiplayer is fast paced, extremely intense, and a lot of fun. The community is much better than say, Halo 3, albeit you won't be ushering team commands to complete strangers, you still can cooperate.
Keep in mind, if you don't have gold, than COD4 may not be the game for you. There's not too much I can say that hasn't been covered 15 million times in other reviews.
Consensus
+ High production values
+ Sweet multiplayer
+ Just plain fun
- Short campaign
- No co-op to be found
4 and a half stars out of five.
