Infinity Ward’s “Modern Warfare 2” a Deep and Immersive Experience
The latest title in the hit “Call of Duty” video game series continues to break sales records and blow minds as “Modern Warfare 2” is a video game player’s dream. “Modern Warfare 2” showcases the best aspects of the first-person shooter genre and also incorporates elements from the role-playing genre to create a unique and addicting gameplay experience. “Modern Warfare 2” features an engrossing single player experience with action and intrigue on par with a blockbuster Hollywood movie, and an immersive multiplayer mode that puts other games to shame.
The single player mode takes you into the world of “Modern Warfare 2” and all the political intrigue and military action that come with it. Whether scaling the side of a mountain in a blizzard to infiltrate a military base and escape on snowmobiles, or escaping on foot through a South American shanty-town while being chased by militia forces, Modern Warfare 2’s single player mode constantly provides moments of tense and exciting gameplay. While there is no true co-operative game mode in “Modern Warfare 2”, the Spec Op mode allows two players to complete missions based on the levels from the single player campaign. Almost worth the price of admission alone, the single player mode also features highly controversial content that has resulted in the game being banned and censored in various sections of the world.
The area that “Modern Warfare 2” really excels in is the multiplayer experience. While the offline multiplayer modes are fun for playing with friends on the couch, the online multiplayer through X-Box Live and Playstation Network is the main selling-point of “Modern Warfare 2.” With new weapons and gameplay features unlocked as you play and earn experience, and customizable equipment and weapons, “Modern Warfare 2” has deep replay value which will keep the game on the top of the sales charts for some time to come.
“Modern Warfare 2” is certainly worth the asking price of $59.99 if you’re a fan of fast, intense, modern warfare action and is available for both X-Box 360 and Playstation 3.
