Modern Warfare 2 (PS3) Review Part 1

I was lucky enough to receive my copy of Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 a day early as I ordered it online and Parcelforce delivered it early!

After patiently waiting all day to play it, I started up the PS3 to find I had to run an update. It was a relatively quick one though and I was surprised to find that the game also needed to update (15mb) before playing.

The graphics and setup are the game are fantastic and offers excellent new levels of game play. I have decided to break this review down into numerous parts as I had the intention of playing each mode of the game, but after starting the single player campaign mode I was so engrossed, I sat for about 3/4 hours without getting up!

Campaign Mode

I managed to complete about 5 missions and racked up 7% of the PS3 trophies. Each mission is played from a different characters’ perspective which ensures the game play stays fresh and avoids repetition. The first few missions draw you into the game with snowmobiles, climbing up icy rock faces, controlling a Gatling gun in the Humvee and defending yourself from dog attacks.

I need to play the game more to give a more in-depth review (that’s my excuse and I am sticking to it!) but will definitely be updating you all soon on the campaign mode, special ops and some of the other great features of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2.

One quick note, if you are planning on buying this as an Xmas gift, make sure it is suitable for whomever you are buying it for – The game contains extremely violent content (to the point where it has a warning and an option to remove some scenes from the game) an is definitely not suitable for children (hence the 18+ rating).

Please keep a lookout for Part 2 of the review…
