I bought this from huge Call Of Duty -sale for a 10 bucks. Compared to the price it is an excellent game.
Single-player campaign is interesting and the relatively long. Liked the story and style of the game. Multiplayer works with Windows PC:s, so there are more players than for example in Black Ops Mac edition. Maps are also better - for my opinion.
In summary Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is a awesome game which includes tens of hours fun. I would recommend it for anyone, who likes realistic 1st person shooters.
This game offers multiple modes and a few simple but excellent innovations. The option I chose gave a limited number of moves to win but did not time the levels. You can twist the board in various directions to maneuver the moves to have the greatest effect. Some levels were quite challenging. It demanded a more thoughtful, engaged approach which still brought the match 3 bliss.
I used to like it but at this point I'd say save your money
I really liked the game with the exception that it wouldn't save. So I downloaded and installed the update. Now the game begins at the registration process and when I enter the info it says there is a problem and I should retry it. Again and again and again.
The game is great in theory but I'd save the cash and find something less aggravating.
I am not sure why the first reviewer is so critical of this game, but then again his grammar is very poor so who knows how much he can be trusted? I am also a huge fan of the Total War series of games and this is by far the best one. The amount of attention to detail is immensely satisfying for anyone who is a student of history. I am very pleased with the amount of choices available for playable factions and the detail given to each civilization. Just an incredible amount of attention to detail. Anyone who is a fan of strategy and history should enjoy this game immensely. Be warned, if you like dumb dumb first person shooter games you will probably hate it. Even small decisions in this game can have huge consequences. Do not expect it to be the same as the Napolean or Empire games, it has similar controls/interfaces but so much more detail than those games. Very happy with this game and I am hoping they make one for the Crusades in the future with this amount of detail.
This game is really good. It's very dynamic, with lots of different choices that all affect the outcomes of different situations. And the art style is very unique and works really well for the story being told
I got this to play a classic First person grid RPG, something similar to Legend of Grimrock. The adventure seemed promising but as soon as you leave the first town, enter the worldmap and try to enter other dungeons it constantly crashes. Apparently it has something to do with the 64bit version, but I'm tired of recent games not beeing debugged like they used to, I'm not being payed as a playtester, I'm just looking for some fun, not endless bug fixing...Didn't expect this from a Ubisoft release... Anyway, I did persevere and played on 32bit with downscaled graphics (specially in the open maps to avoid lag), Although the game has funny details (air bass guitar playing sharks?) and quests, the open world is filled with dead ends if you have a low level party, therefore you have to figure out the right order to do the quests or you'll wander around aimlessly as much tougher enemies grind through your defenses. but a relatively monotonous storyline all the way to Karthal... The third act does pay off and the game actually starts realizing it's full potential with the harder and more imaginative free DLC. You have to sneak out of a prison and fight your way through hard terrain (sometimes you can't reach the enemy because he's throwing arrows at you from higher ground). All in all it's a 100 hour endeavor with endless lore, and actually one of the harder quests require you to memorise the names of the 8 corners of this imaginary world.
This game is the video game equivalent of a big ice cream sundae—there's nothing intellectually filling about it, it's simply a good, dumb, fun time-killer with a very simple plot. Sometimes life needs simple pleasures like this!
Beware, as of now (sept. 2014), the game is in (early) beta and absolutely not ready for release. I don't know who the fault is on, but it should be clearly indicated, and byers should be warned.
I was hoping for a clean game, but it still plenty of bugs and polish. At this point we are really far from a finished game.
Every part of me wanted to enjoy THE LINE, and occasionnaly, while blasting enemy defenses with rock'n'roll music in the apocaliptic Dubai I did, but mostly, playing through the game was a chore. A straight look at the horrors of war with horrendous gameplay mechanics (this one reminds why I hate third person shooters) and rather lousy controls (you use the same button to jump or melee, the spacebar to run or cover). It basically plays like 'Frontline commando', yes the free app, and although the scenery is beautiful and many levels feature a lot of verticality within the broken buildings, it's repetitive as hell, and the mac version is a little glitched with weird performance issues and mouse lag.
The game had great press and reviews, hailed as the mature alternative to Call of Duty, but besides one great moment around the middle of the game, SPEC OPS is totally streamlined and would play exactly like COD if it was first person (and it would probably be a better game thanks to more reactive controls). The game plays on rails and there are no important choices to be made as advertised. You will be forced to commit atrocities and deep down the story (although inspired by Apocalypse Now) doesn't make much sense and the soldiers are rather flat, with no specific characteristics. There are other games out there that bring criticism to the genre itself and a much more subtle mind♥♥♥♥ (like Bioshock Infinite) with better gameplay, so i suggest you only get this if it's on sell or just watch the youtube movie that compiles all the cinematics so that you know what the fuss is all about.
PS: Coop and MP are virtually unplayable thanks to the controls (the same button does several actions so half the time it won't work, you'll hit an obstacle when you want to jump or execute a soldier when you want to melee the one next to him) and almost no players are online. Also the game is very sentitive to the hot corners on the mac so you have to deactivate them with a script or work around by adding an extra input key if you don't want to force pause the game when aiming through the barrel, breaking down the action and causing many unnecessary deaths.
An action-puzzle game. Save all you can in ancient Egypt. A good game to test accuracy. Beautiful backgrounds and with one click of the button you are on your way.
