\r\nUnited Offensive represents some the best of what a heavily scripted game can do. It probably also represents the most that can be squeezed out of the venerable Quake III engine. The first mission of the British campaign has you manning bomber turrets, and you\u0027ve probably seen the screenshots and video clips by now: it\u0027s gorgeous. They\u0027ve really outdone themselves. Still, in apparently attempting to trump the original in drama, they too often end up pummeling the player with an avalanche of combat targets. If you dug Call of Duty, you\u0027ll dig United Offensive, but get comfortable with the Quicksave and Quickload keys.\r\n”,”height”:720,”width”:1280,”url”:”https:\/\/assets1.ignimgs.com\/2017\/11\/02\/002coda-1509625748221.jpg”,”styleUrl”:”https:\/\/assets1.ignimgs.com\/2017\/11\/02\/002coda-1509625748221_{size}.jpg”,”credit”:””,”objectRelationName”:””,”objectRelationUrl”:””,”albumName”:”Every IGN Call of Duty Review”,”relativePosition”:”03″,”albumTotalCount”:39},{“caption”:”Reviewed by: Hillary Goldstein

\r\nCall of Duty: Finest Hour has been \u0022consolized\u0022 and turned from a somewhat challenging and often intense PC first-person shooter into a bland, run-and-gun console pop-gun game. It\u0027s certainly not bad and is enjoyable throughout, but it just doesn\u0027t excel in a single area. The brilliant concept of following three individual stories of the Allied campaign against the Nazis has been watered down with too many perspectives and no cohesive or interesting story. I cared nothing for any of the characters and felt like I was just going through the motions the entire game. A lack of checkpoints in the majority of levels is questionable and sometimes frustrating. Finest Hour had the pedigree to become the finest console World War II game, but in the end fails to bring any spark or intensity to a story about courage and sacrifice.”,”height”:720,”width”:1280,”url”:”https:\/\/assets1.ignimgs.com\/2017\/11\/02\/003coda-1509625748224.jpg”,”styleUrl”:”https:\/\/assets1.ignimgs.com\/2017\/11\/02\/003coda-1509625748224_{size}.jpg”,”credit”:””,”objectRelationName”:””,”objectRelationUrl”:””,”albumName”:”Every IGN Call of Duty Review”,”relativePosition”:”04″,”albumTotalCount”:39},{“caption”:”Reviewed by: Douglass C.

\r\nMake no mistake, Call of Duty 3 is a great game. Its one of the best looking titles on 360 and the multiplayer mode is a welcome addition. What keeps the score slightly below the last installment is the nearly identical gameplay and stiff competition within the genre.

Fans of Call of Duty 2 and the series in general will no doubt enjoy Call of Duty 3 (if they don\u0027t have access to another platform). It recreates the fury of World War II with a strong bravado and offers a shooting engine that makes single-player and multiplayer sessions equally fun. Sure it comes up a little short compared to the pacing and overall level design of COD2, but the real crime here is found with all the glitches and other technical problems that make the Normandy Breakout feel more like the Normandy Lockup. It\u0027s really too bad, because considering how good it is despite all of its problems, imagine how great it could have been without them.”,”height”:720,”width”:1280,”url”:”https:\/\/assets1.ignimgs.com\/2018\/10\/06\/cod2-1538862302404.jpg”,”styleUrl”:”https:\/\/assets1.ignimgs.com\/2018\/10\/06\/cod2-1538862302404_{size}.jpg”,”credit”:””,”objectRelationName”:””,”objectRelationUrl”:””,”albumName”:”Every IGN Call of Duty Review”,”relativePosition”:”09″,”albumTotalCount”:39},{“caption”:”Reviewed by Mark Bozon

Call of Duty 3 for Wii is a bit of a mixed bag. For starters, the game\u0027s control is pretty solid, and while there are a few issues with the battle actions, the pin-point aiming and Call of Duty driving feels great, adding a ton of immersion in to the game. If the gameplay isn\u0027t your primary focus for FPS games though, Call of Duty 3 may be a bit of a downer, as there\u0027s no multiplayer, and the visuals are pretty weak. If you\u0027re expecting anything more than a solid single player adventure and GCN\/Xbox graphics, you may be disappointed. Still, Call of Duty 3\u0027s control is definitely something to experience, and seems to be second only to Metroid. If you\u0027re looking to try the FPS genre on Wii during launch, Call of Duty 3 is the game to show the system off.”,”height”:720,”width”:1280,”url”:”https:\/\/assets1.ignimgs.com\/2018\/10\/06\/cod3-1538862302405.jpg”,”styleUrl”:”https:\/\/assets1.ignimgs.com\/2018\/10\/06\/cod3-1538862302405_{size}.jpg”,”credit”:””,”objectRelationName”:””,”objectRelationUrl”:””,”albumName”:”Every IGN Call of Duty Review”,”relativePosition”:10,”albumTotalCount”:39},{“caption”:”Reviewed by: Jeremy Dunham

\r\nAs a big fan of previous Call of Duty titles, I found Roads to Victory to be the definite low point of the series.

\r\nCall of Duty 4: Modern Warfare is a fantastic game. The single-player experience is easily Infinity Ward\u0027s best work to date. Calling it intense may be an understatement. The overall story is standard action movie fare, but the relationships built over the short five hours of play are surprisingly strong.

Call of Duty: World at War isn\u0027t a perfect FPS on Wii, and when it all boils down, you can find a better controlling game – one with a slicker framerate, too – in EA\u0027s Medal of Honor Heroes 2. What you won\u0027t find in Heroes though, or in any other Wii FPS to date, is a package that\u0027s this cinematic, this intense, this character-driven, unapologetically brutal, or as varied and intense as World at War. Control isn\u0027t dead, as smooth, or as twitch-responsive as we\u0027d like it, but it holds its own, against the bulk of Wii FPS offerings to say the least. The game still houses some pretty basic World War II colors and locales, but among the greens and browns lay some impressive chunks of scenery to check out, and battling across, under, and through them is a blast. It could be quite a while until we see wartime shooter with as much attention to detail, cinematic flair, or open battlegrounds as World at War. Or then again, it might be just around the corner with Infinity Ward\u0027s official Call of Duty 5.”,”height”:720,”width”:1280,”url”:”https:\/\/assets1.ignimgs.com\/2018\/10\/06\/cod4-1538862302406.jpg”,”styleUrl”:”https:\/\/assets1.ignimgs.com\/2018\/10\/06\/cod4-1538862302406_{size}.jpg”,”credit”:””,”objectRelationName”:””,”objectRelationUrl”:””,”albumName”:”Every IGN Call of Duty Review”,”relativePosition”:14,”albumTotalCount”:39},{“caption”:”Reviewed by: Sam Bishop

\r\nThe Call of Duty games have moved beyond the stuff established in the PS2 era, both in terms of setting and in how they\u0027re presented.

\r\nWhen you look at the total package, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is hands-down one of the best first-person shooters out there, and a truly amazing offering across any system. With that being said, our score comes with a disclaimer. For those planning to check out everything Modern Warfare 2 has to offer: online competition, full co-op Spec Ops mode, as well as the campaign, you\u0027re looking at a no-brainer purchase. For the strictly single player crowd, however, Modern Warfare 2 is surprisingly short, and doesn\u0027t live up to the standard set by previous Call of Duty games. The campaign can be completed in as little as four and a half hours, and the missions make better scenarios and moment-to-moment adrenaline rushes than they do a cohesive, well-told story. If you\u0027re going solo, you\u0027ve officially been warned.

It was a great decision for Activision to offer up Call of Duty Classic so console gamers could experience the game that kick-started a phenomenon. But little care was given to making sure this experience was perfectly suited for PS3 and Xbox 360. The control set-up definitely needs some fine-tuning, the multiplayer only offers eight-player skirmishes and the audio doesn\u0027t do the original justice.

\r\nCall of Duty: Black Ops is a great overall package that has a ton of content to enjoy. The multiplayer modes are largely based on what was established by Modern Warfare, but the twists that Treyarch throws in work well. My biggest issue with the multiplayer is that the new Wager Matches, while fun in their own right, don\u0027t compare favorably to the high-quality and addictive leveling system and game modes from Modern Warfare 1 and 2. Single-player is as exhaustingly fast-paced as ever with large set pieces that try to take the attention off of the lackluster AI of both friends and enemies. That withstanding, the story is the best I\u0027ve ever seen from a Call of Duty game.
