Advantages: Quality game in all areas

Disadvantages: Lack of multiplayer co-op save

Intro
------
This game will shortly become one of those classics that get released about 10 years after the initial sale because they were literally so good. Call of Duty has really dominated the market of late and with the release of COD Modern Warfare and then this edition, they really have become the only first person shooter you should buy for playstation 3.


Single Player
----------------
The campaign on this game, is truly brilliant. You fight through a variety of different missions which encompass a number of half true historical events.

You start the game as an american fighting the Japanese but you continuously chop and change between this and becoming a Russian sniper fighting his way against the Germans.

One level that i particularly enjoy is one of these sniper missions. It is massively similar to that of the film 'enemy at the gates', where you are left in a one on one sniper position. Absolutely Stunning.


Multiplayer and Online
----------------------------
If you play this game against your mates at home it really does lead to a good laugh being had. Although the graphics do suffer from splitting the screen into 2,3 or 4 it is still great fun for a few hours.

However, the real success is the online capability. This means that you can fight your mates all day long on a full screen meaning that you can actually see what you are doing! Always helps. The level up on online mode is also a nice feature, rewarding those who get more kills and spend more time on the game.


Graphics
-----------
Always important on a video game and COD does not let this down. The graphics are truly world class and really lead to a realistic environment that you can actually appreciate.


Summary
------------
This, along with the previous version, is a must buy game. Absolutely brilliant in all areas. The only disappointing point is that in multiplayer co-op you cannot save, which is frustrating. However, this is the only glitch in an otherwise superb feature.

Summary: 4 stars
