The marines own bravado leads to them screwing up? Are you serious? I would just, love, to see how that line of thinking connects. I didn't know interrogating the guy who nuked good soldiers and countless civilians makes them morally questionable pyschotic thugs. I'm now imagining Yahtzee running through a field of daises smoking a joint and giggling endlessley about how green and peacefull the world looks. I like what he has to say, sometimes. For the most part he's just a huge ass. And I'm just so, so, so sick of people 'finding' messages in CoD. It's like the Bible Code or some shit, Jesus.

I'm in the same camp as the two of you.

It was a good game for sure,
but also the most overated of the year IMO.

Just like tslothrop, I've not touched it in ages.

And the multiplayer holds absolutely no interest for me as i perfer the jump in have some mindless fun and jump out approach to multiplayer games.

CoD4's online multiplayer has just complicated it too much for me to care about.
If I have the time & attention to devote to somthing more complicated then I'll be spending it playing the single player of a game I havn't beaten yet.

@Sunjammer: So true.
The "get to point B" to advance story irked me as well.

You could kill 0 enemies or 10,000, it doesn't matter, your real goal is just to get to the right spot and get a checkpoint so the enemies stop spawning and your AIs move to their next pre-scripted "holding patern".

@Sunjammer: Thank you! That's been my exact sentiments on the series the whole time.

It's funny how on one hand, Yahtzee belittles JRPG's for being low on gameplay and forces the script on you, but that's exactly what COD4 does in the FPS genre.

I have to say that I give props in storytelling where it's do, but I should be allowed to play through a segment as a consequence of the story (Halo 3, GTA any number of games) or have a direct impact on it
(at least feel like I do like Oblivion or Mass Effect). The problem with COD4 is that it takes you by the hand and just to show you the next neato first person cinematic. Whoopee.

@The Wreckard: What spoilers; The nuke is in the attract movie for chrissakes.

I just thought it was about time for me to come in and say he needs to play the fucking game on veteran so he can see just how uselessly obvious the scripted teammate AI is. I'm far more interested his opinion of the game as one where your squad of 4 is more than happy enough to wait for you to run through the endlessly respawning 2 shots and you're dead russians looking for the next god damn trigger to make them actually come help you.

The player does exactly one thing in COD4; advance the script. Very rarely do the bullets you fire actually mean anything other than to clear a momentary path for you to charge through to reach the point where the russians stop respawning and your useless motherfucker teammates decide to come pretend like they helped. I've completed several sections of COD4 without firing a single bullet; apparently the standard operating procedure for the US Marines in clearing buildings is to send some dude running into the building first, wait until he's found the right spot to hide in, and then come charging in after him.

He seems more enthralled with the narrative than with the gameplay, which is just. It's a canny bit of storytelling, and i also loved the death scenes, but i like playing games god damnit, not just watching them happen when i move into the right spot.

Single player COD4 on veteran = a frustrating roller coaster. How is that even possible. Hard games should challenge you more, not just piss all over you and themselves, and also your cat.

love the "just like in real life" quips.

i'd get this game, but i have a one-game-per-genre rule. that is, i won't buy a new game in a specific genre if i'm still playing and enjoying another game in that genre. it sort of undermines the replay value and investment I've made of the game i've already purchased.

example: burnout paradise might be good, but i'm still enjoying PGR4. and COD4 might be game of the year, but my FPS time is already split between halo3 and tf2, and that's already one too many.

I didn't like this review, cod4 is full of problems and flaws ( respawning,undestrctible wood windows, stupid allied ai, corridor type levels etc....) and the gameplay feels old... yes, the game is amazing, but even liking it you got a lot of bad thing to say about it. Is no good when the reviewer is a fan of the game he is reviewing...
Multiplayer is another story, there we have a winner without questions.
Anyway, i prefer people talking greatly about this game than about other fps that start with the letter h.... at least this game has conditions.

Still need to try CoD4, but CoD3 was just such a turn-off for me.

Yea, COD4s multiplayer WAS the greatest. But then Turok came out and all that changed because of dinosuars.

COD4 is easily the best multiplayer shooter to come out in years. Honestly, my roommates and i played halo 3 until COD4 came out... and never looked back.

@Brian Crecente: But Portal came out this year too...

Great review yet again, but I'm surprised he wasn't more harsh on a 5 hour single player. From what I've played though, it is an excellent shooter, and I guess this just means a certain buy as soon as get a damn 360.

I really don't like it when he praises a game, I tend to give his opinion such weight that it means I am £30-40 poorer soon afterwards. I have a feeling that it is a case of karma, I often complain about reviews being far too generous to mediocre games, so when someone so hatefilled comes along it just makes me spend more.

@itsburnsie: You're not alone. I also didn't love it.

I did like it, but I'm shocked that anyone would have put it up for GOTY. I finished the SP campaign in a day, don't think I've touched it (or even thought about it much) since then. And I don't play MP, so...

I would have liked to see the campaign be a bit longer in gameplay time, I felt the ending was well timed with the plot and was a proper end to a amazing game.

@Brian Crecente: the multiplayer alone was my game of the year. The only game to pry CoD out of my cold-dead kung fu grip was Rock Band. *sob* CoD even made me neglect No More Heroes, Halo, Super Mario Galaxy, and now *sniff* DMC4!

I have a problem.
