This game is very great. It is a continence of call of duty 4 modern warfare. The game is a great game, but I find some things not so great. One of the levels on the game is kind of disturbing, you play as a CIA agent in disguise as a bad guy. The other bad guys and you go and kill a whole bunch of civilians. Also the game is to short, but as the multiplayer part and spec ops is good. It has a lot of action in it just like the first modern warfare. I would give the game 5 stars. It's just the disturbing level and a short game. I would recommend you should buy it.

I thought you got more stuff by buying the hardened edition but its basically the same except the case is metal. The game is ausome though and most of your friends do not have the hardened edition. I actually got the hardened edition cheaper than the original game was just before Christmas so that was a plus. I would not have paid the extra money if it wasn't cheaper or at least the same price. I like it and to me its the best game xbox has out right now. Thanks.

This is one of the best FPS games I ever played! This game is addicting!

Single player mode is fun and is recommended playing before you go online (to give you the basic controls and to get used to the guns) Unfortunately campaign mode is short, it should take around 5-8 hours to beat the game. But there is another mode called black ops ( kind of like a mini games), which is fun too but also short.

This game is more based on its multiplayer features. I bought this game for the ps3 since its free online (the main reason I bought this game). online is addicting since its based on "leveling up", start at level 1 and work your way to level 70 and on to prestige mode (extra custom classes). you want to level up to unlock guns, attachments (red dot scope, thermal vision scope, dual weapons and more), go on a kill streak ( kill without dying) to call in air support, use a missle, or nuke everyone!, also there is a deathstreak (die at least 3-4 times in a row) which helps to give you kills, many modes to chose from (ffa, team death match, capture the flag, plant/defuse bomb and more, and there are more features that i'm to lazy to list that would be fun.

As for choosing regular, hardened, prestige. I would recommend buying the game at very least esp if your into FPS. I don't think buying the hardened edition is worth the regular price (75+) IMO, but for $49-59 I would say its worth it. The metal case is beautiful, you get the orignal CoD, and an artbook. Get the hardened edition if you want a different style cover , enjoy art relating to military, want to play the original CoD (download off PSN) recommended to get it on sale rather than getting it for the original price. I'm not to hardcore/collector of this game to get the prestige set.

But this game is a must have for anyone into FPS!

Fun game, solid sequel. Campaign missions are generally more varied and better than COD 4:MW, but the story is sorely lacking in comparison along with the fact the new luster and innovative new missions (pripyat and the ac-130 ones)are not really here (Cliffhanger would've been good but they blew that by showcasing it at E3). Spec-Ops is fun, multiplayer is improved yet they made to many tweaks and additions (lots of balancing issues such as akimbo weapons, shotguns as overpowered secondary weapons, grenade launcher available as a secondary/combined with bling pro leads to way to much grenade launching in lots of games,assault rifles reaching as far as sniper rifles, bad lag/huge host advantage, terrible spawn reassignment which leads to lots of spawn camping and easy kills/cheap deaths). Overall a worthy sequel, just probably did not live up to the impossible expectations (and in general a lot of the issues in multiplayer at least could be fixed in patches if IW bothers to, though some of the issues are just head scratching as to why IW would do some of these in the first place...especially since a beta test would have revealed many of the balance issues and bad decisions..they made a video about being against grenade spamming yet made the game to accommodate someone with a frag grenade and the FOUR grenades for grenade launching in one life).

Well worth the purchase if you are into 1st person shooters. Nothing really competes with the COD series.

It's a great first person shooting game with great graphics. Campaign was a bit short though.

What can I possibly say that the previous reviews have not already covered? The first COD4: Modern Warfare raised the bar for total immersive first person game play, and the on-line multiplayer mode most certainly contributed to the overall success and popularity of this now classic game. Like many, I wondered how in world could Infinity Ward improve on an already near perfect game? Modern Warfare 2 is the answer to that question. I'm sure I could sit here and write a lengthy review about every cool new aspect of the game, but you really just have to experience it for yourself. Newcomers to this franchise will be blown away, and will no doubt be exhilarated by this gaming experience. Original Modern Warfare vets will appreciate the continuing story line in campaign mode, and the vastly improved additions to the on-line multiplayer mode. I can already see that the devastating new killstreaks will be the bane of those who consistently fall victim to more skilled players in Team Deathmatch. God help us all. If you can't pick up this game just yet, you had better at least hone your skills on the original MW before entering the multiplayer arena in MW2, less you get your feelings hurt. The hardened edition is definitely worth the extra cheese if you like the extra bling. Nice steelbook hardcase with very nice cover art, plus a mini concept art book and the original COD game to boot. But in essence it's really all about the game after all isn't it? So if the extra special goodies aren't your cup of tea and you just want to get right down to it and start racking up as many kills as possible, then save your money and go for the standard edition. I'm sure the special editions may be tough to come by when Christmas shopping season hits, so get it while you can. I will not be surprised if this follows in it's predecessors footsteps and wins Game of the Year. Again.

Perfect Score!! one of the greatest FPS game ever made! Must Own, Online gaming is very challenging and very fun.

• from

I'm a dedicated first-person-shooter gamer and I believe that COD-MW2 has certainly pushed the envelope of the genre. I've enjoyed playing several of the Call of Duty titles over the years and believe that Infinity Ward really produces the best, most playable versions. Get it; you won't be disappointed!

gameplay is excellent, especially multiplayer and co-op missions. however, said sections are where all the replay value is, because the single player story is ridiculously short.

Just like the previous version of Modern Warfare, this one has exceeded my expectations with level of gameplay and overall fun factor. Aside from the original Multiplayer and Campaign options of the game, IW has added a 3rd option. This is a series of Special Ops missions with varying difficulty levels, which reward the player with achievements upon completion. As always, the online multiplayer option is adrenaline soaked, and after one improves their skills, becomes very hard to turn off (late at night, for me).

It just amazes me how far video games have evolved since I was young, especially in the graphics category. This game will not dissapoint, especially if you are playing on a PS3 (I've heard it looks much better on this console). Overall, I'm very happy with this game. But if you are thinking about buying this for your child, keep in mind the Mature rating it has received, because it very deserving of it!

It's been reviewed to death so I won't waste too much time.

The single player was fun, but I didn't feel that it moved any mountains. The AI was surprisingly good throughout the game--this was my first Call of Duty game and I couldn't help but be impressed at how intelligent the enemies were on the harder difficulties. There was a lot of mission variety, but it just ended a bit too quickly and without a satisfying resolution.

The multiplayer, which I'm sure was the main reason most people bought the game, is very inacessibly difficult to those new to the series. Coupled with a leveling system that rewards those who can already play much better with still better gear, and it's brutal to the newcomer. There are definite moments of fun, but in my experience it's served to be quite frustrating...in a satisfying way. In any case, I'm gonna keep playing and getting better, but do not expect to get online and break above a 1:1 kill-to-death ratio without an extreme, persistent dedication of time. If I had the time to dedicate I'm sure I'd have a lot more fun with it.

As for the hardened edition, I was a bit disappointed with the goodies. The case was...kinda neat I guess, and the little book was similarly neat...but overall it didn't seem worth the extra 20 bucks coupled with the (now $15 on PSN) CoD classic. I suppose the value is fair in that respect.

As an aside, CoD classic is quite awesome as well. I find the older physics a better fit for console controls, and the right and left d-pad buttons allow you to lean either direction which is GREAT tactically. There's a full-featured, 24-episode campaign for single-playing, and a multiplayer mode as well. Very fun too, as I love seeing the origins of a series.
