Call of duty 2 was one of the launch games for the 360 back in Nov 05’, It had [some crazy number] of first day sales and went on to claim the [insert prestigious award title with really long name] from [some person that gives out awards [no its not a marketing gimmick designed to get you to buy the sequel]].

Anyhow, if you’re reading this rubbish, then you probably have all the statistics in hand and are wondering if it’s worth the 6 dollars shipping, since the game can probably be found for pennies on the right website.  I had fun playing though the campaign and cannot speak to the online multiplayer portion, which I can only imagine is long dead like a crippled old paint by now. 

I did get stuck in a few spots since I was playing it on the hardest difficulty to get all the achievements.  Climbing up the rock face at [insert catchy war slang] was memorable, mainly because I kept getting killed when I peaked my head over the top.  Eventually I was able to crawl my way around the trenches and snip some dudes and finish the mission. 

The experience reminded me of the first time ever playing call of duty when the franchise first launch on the PC years ago.  It was all about visceral in-your-face action that was no where to be found at the time.  That type of stuff is abound these days, but still, this game does it great and is worth your $$$.  Well, a little of it anyway.
