Call of Duty- Game of the Year Edition Description:

Call of Duty: Game of the Year Edition review:
4 stars (Consuming FPS that puts you in the action) - I am a more mature gamer and like the realistic sims, RPG and FPS type games. I played the demo first and then bought the full version and it has been a lot of fun. When you are playing a game, but you are hesitant to look around the next corner and your heart rate goes up anticipating being shot at - you are in the game. The controls are quick and easy to master. The graphics occassionally leave a hand or other article halfway through a wall, but overall they aren't bad. The range of difficulty levels is good allowing you to get shot a lot at the entry level and only taking two hits or so at Veteran level. It really gives you a good appreciation for what it would have felt like to be in some of those WWII engagements.
5 stars (Amazing Game) - This is a great game to spend hours of emotion in front of your PC. You will feel like in the battle field.
5 stars (The Greatest WWII Game...) - Throughout my life, I have played numerous World War 2 First Person Shooter games, but "Call of Duty" Is the one of the few that stands out. It is truly one of the greatest World War 2 games ever made. Many World War Two games create a generic feel of the war. They rush you into some battle, you hit the trigger and blow up a few Nazis. Some world war two games actually feel realistic, they have stories built in to the game and have spectacular visual/sound effects. But Call of Duty goes well beyond that. It doesnt just make you feel as if you are in the game, it makes you feel like you are a soldier in the 101st Airborne, The British Spec Ops, and The Red Army.



You devolve a close bond with your fellow soldiers who are not super heros, but rather ordinary men who answered the Call to war when their country needed them. Each mission was realistic from the way the bullets fly from each gun, to the shell shock from each explosion. The game has a built in physics generator, in other words, if you fire a gun, each shot will be different depending on your character's stance and position. (Very few WW2 first person shooter games have this feature)



Moving on, the game also has memorable moments. Instead of focusing on the famous D-Day screen, they depict the role of troops from the 101st Airborne, and British Special Ops that landed in Normandy before the arrival of troops on the beaches. The game also shows the horrors of the battle of Stalingrad (probably the most under-rated battle of WWII) through the eyes of a young conscript Soldier. Through out the levels you can wield several weapons such as various sub-machine guns, hand guns, sniper rifles, rocket launchers, and you even get to drive a tank!



Sadly, The game is some what short. I played it for awhile the day I first got it, and beat it in four to five hours. To compensate for that, the Game has a wonderful Multi-player mode, in which you can play with people over the internet. The Multi-player offers a lot of replay value and a good way to kill some time.



Call of Duty is a must buy for anyone who loves World War Two games, or interested in history. It has truly set the standard of excellency for all WW2 FPS games.
