Introduction: Ok, this is the very first game that I plugged into my Xbox 360. It's been on my wish list ever since I parted with my pre-order money. SO how was it? Did it live upto my expectations?

Graphics: 09 / 10
The first thing you notice about this game are the stunning graphics. Crisp, detailed and more than anything realistic which magnifies the gaming experience. Character models look spot on and the animation runs at a very smooth 60 frames per second. Makes Xbox one games look very inferior but to bring out the full potential of this game you really need to play this on an HDTV. I have mine running at 1078 and it looks better than anything I have ever seen, even clearer than the kiosks you see in the stores.

Sound: 10 / 10
Plug your 360 into a surround sound set up and prepare to be jolted back into your seat harder than a rollercoaster. Simply has to be heard to be belived. Graphics are a big plus in this new generation of gaming but the sound multiplys this ten fold. From bullets clankering around you from front to back and left to right. I actually knew where someone was creeping up on me from where the sound of the footsteps were coming from.

Controls: 09 / 10
A new feature on the control scheme which I absolutely loved is that by pressing the left trigger would bring up my gun so I am looking down the aim and the picture zoomed in slightly. This is absolutely genius and I am so used to it I find it hard to see how I played other FPS games without this feature. All in all controls are perfect.

Gameplay: 09 / 10

Single Player
Sit at the edge of your seat and prepare for your social life to slowly decintergrate around you. From start to finish this game engulfs you in hot action. From France to Russia to Tunisia, playing as a Russian, The British or Americans. Each mission will have you jumping around your seat as if you were really dodging bullets. Never got bored of the single player and will always go back for more.

Multi Player
This is the only reason this game did not get a full 10 rating. At the moment the game lags a lot. If the host of the game has a great upload speed then there should not be a problem. Xbox will be bringing out a new upgrade for this which will be downloadable from LIVE and as soon as this is done all will be perfect. When you do get to play this game on LIVE the action is intense. With fantastic multi player levels which will have you coming back time after time.

Replay value, longevity: 09 / 10
Single Player
You will want to beat this game no matter what. On easy it shouldn't take the average player very long but put on Veteran mode and your in for some action that will keep you challenged for hours and hours. Frustrating? Maybe....but then this is what makes a great game.

Multi Player
At the moment this is all I play on LIVE. Always offers a fresh new challenge and you will find yourself giving and taking orders from your fellow players in a game of cat and mouse with your enemies. Will keep you entertained for as long as your breathing.


Overall: 09 / 10

Other side notes
As soon as the LIVE patch is released this game will get a full 10 marks from me and I asure you, even if you have the slightest liking of FPS games then you will not be dissapointed with this game from Activision.
