Today, I'm reviewing one of the games that has changed the face of the gaming community, and thus, changed the way a game is made and produced. (And this review is going to be fun since my M key is sticking) ladies and gentlemen, Modern Warfare 2.
Firstly, I must mention the fact of the utterly brilliant vocal acting. As we are all aware of, sequels to great games tend to lack largely in some area, but thankfully, the sequel fixed the very small problems of the previous game and gave it a large push in the right direction. The vocal acting of the entire cast was completely committed and made the world they had created completely understandable, placing you inside those moments. One great mention would be Keith David; while he has done some action movies and other video games (The two largest being the Mass Effect games and Halo 2 and 3 as the voice of the Arbitor) this game demanded a lot of vocal shouts and orders from the man, who in previous games rarely shouted. David did brilliant work during this game as the gruff Sergeant Foley.
But there is only one negative to mention.
Modern Warfare 2 brought the reality of our soldiers overseas, yet there have been a few grumblings since the release that I myself have only just noticed. For those who love the realism and reliability to modern games, after hearing some complaints that when firing a weapon, there is no recoil, giving the faster connection players the kill. Also with the killstreak awards, people stopped playing the game itself for how "the rich get richer" by the fact that higher up killstreaks add onto your kills, giving you the ability to activate the Nuke Killstreak.
This game changed the face of our industry, being named Game Of The Decade by such company's as IGN, OXM and more. In the end, it comes down to your preferences, but for me, this game was a jaw dropper for the gameplay and multiplayer, wasting much of my time that I had to waste.
Out of 10, I gave Modern Warfare II an 8.5/10
