Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare
Publisher: Activision
Platform: Xbox360
ESRB Rating: Mature (17+)
Official Bar Score: 
Looks like World War 2 is finally over, and skipping over the billion plus wars that have happened since then Call of Duty finally goes modern. It’s a helluva ride that brings out the intensity and insanity of war.
Set in the near future, or some alternate time-line, or whatever the world is going down the crapper thanks to a civil war in Russia and general chaos in the Middle East. You play as a member of the British SAS and the United States Marines. Along the way you fight Russians and Middle Easterners with the best of the NATO arsenal.
What first impressed me about the game was the graphics and attention to detail the designers put into it. Everything looks beautiful from your commanding officer’s mustache to the insides of a filthy car you happen to ride in. These are probably the best graphics I have ever seen.
The game play is really smooth and polished. The controls are simple and a quick tutorial is really all one needs to figure them out. One soldier can easily shoot their firearm, throw a grenade, plus duck and cover. Most of the time you aren’t alone with several other members of your unit backing you up. This makes the game no less challenging as enemies come at you like spider monkeys. Seriously it can get extremely annoying, but after dying a few times you can figure out a plan of attack that’s less suicidal.
The music is standard modern shooter up flair. Nothing really special or rousing, but still doesn’t take away from the overall game experience. The sound effects are great with everything from enemy chatter, to thousands of rounds of ammunition going off, to massive explosions. It’s rather realistic and I wouldn’t recommend the game for anyone with post stress disorder from any war.
The multiplayer part of the game is as good if not better than the single player. Most of it is actually not available for a player at the start, with them having to unlock parts at a time. It offers a lot of customization with weapons and game times. Plus it’s so much fun fragging real live people.
So I loved this game with a couple of exceptions. The single player mode is sort of short and leaves the player wanting more. In addition I am also disappointed with the lack of vehicles in the game. Well there’s probably going to be more in the sequel. So overall a fun ride, and with the multiplayer probably one that will last awhile.

We back dated his first review, so let me take this opportunity to welcome James to the Bartender Fam. Good review.
I’m not much for online first person shooters though. Story modes are cool (Halo = Best Ever), but the online heads are too obsessive to have fun playing with.
TVGB.net, new title for the site. Figure it out. Video games are lame. I vote for no video game reviews on this site. I know everyone feels me on this, but the runners of this site just like to put as much crap as they can on it. Like Justins heavy metal reviews that no one wants to read. But hey, it takes up space. Fucking posers. Go get in your car beds and float away. Fuck off. All of you!
Movies
Music
RANDOM Debauchery
We are a media review site, and video games are a major part of the multimedia industry.
And as for the heavy metal reviews that “nobody wants to read”, tell that to Google, biotch.
And how are we posers? James is new. NONE of us has ever done a video game review ever.
Just trying to ruffle your feathers. I am being RANDOM (as in debauchery), don’t get your panties in a bunch. Got sand in your vagina????
hahaha all this from a man who spent his high school lunches playing Dungeons and Dragons. How is that twenty sided dice treating your level 23423 Orc?
This is from the man who wouldn’t come outside to play basketball after school because he had to meet his set schedule to jerk off. Come on man. Wash your hands!!
I’m saying man, I had to get loose before I schooled you. And come on, King of the Vibrating Chair, lets not get personal.
