Doom was the first FPS I played. After that Counter Strike and the first Call of Duty were my jam. However the first FPS I enjoyed on console, and playing multiplayer was COD4. It was fast, exciting, and fulfilling. I played that game for hours. The games that followed engaged me less and less, and I eventually stopped buying console FPS games. After hearing the amazing feedback from both the Giant Bomb staff and the community, I decided to go ahead and take a leap of faith. I was not disappointed.
The multiplayer action is fast, explosive, exciting, <insert buzzword here>. The story mode was a good primer to the gameplay mechanics. Im only a few hours into the game, but I am still looking forward to playing it more. And I am no longer feeling the malaise of this genre. I may even buy future console FPS games.
If you are on the fence, pick this game up on sale. It will at least give you your money's worth, if not more.
