Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3

[Lee este review en español]
I don't usually play games like Call of Duty, but I must admit that this one is kind of funny.

I can't avoid to compare this game with Black Ops, and even if the game mechanics is the same, there are some favorable changes. Graphics are pretty good for a port, you can see the difference with Black Ops. Being this game set in a world war, the combats are set in important cities such as New York and Paris, they are well designed and it's entertaining to play in famous places as Wall Street or the Eifel Tower.


I didn't like the fact that it doesn't explain what happened before, so if you didn't play the other Modern Warfare games you are going to feel lost. This kind of games should work as stand alone and not depend on previous games.

The campaign mode is too short, I finished it in 3 days playing a couple of hours a day.

During the hole game you are following instructions, at any moment you are in charge of an operation, you don't have to make any decision, you don't even have to think. My favorite part was the first, it was all down hill from there.

Multiplayer mode didn't make big changes from Black Ops, they didn't bothered in adding split screen again and all the features are basically the same, they changed a bit on how you get them and the added an advantage for when you die too often, but it's still the same.


I was hoping they would come up with something completely new, specially because of the competition with Battlefield 3, but the game is the same with some minor changes. Having finished the singleplayer mode, I'm just going to play multiplayer ocassionaly, I don't feel like finishing it 100%.


In my opinion, this game should work only as a closure to the modern warfare series to those who played the previous games and want to know how it ends, if you don't care about it, then don't even bother in buying it. If you don't have a Call of Duty game and you want to buy one, I would recommend Back Ops as it's basically the same and it has a better story.
