I'd give this fantastic game 4/5 one of the best Call Of Duty games yet! Although it could be a bit better!

I'd give it a 3/5. Fans of the series know what they'll be getting- another shooter with a decent campaign and a fun multiplayer mode. Doesn't add many new features not from other games but still will provide plenty of enjoyment online.

Great game, keeps me and my bf entertained for hours on end!

"I won a PS3 & COD.What's that?" said I, putting down receiver. Whoosh, I'm swirled around kitchen in a 15 y.o. bearhug. "Don't worry Mum, I'll get it sorted" He did. Bliss! As with bat, ball & boot, I learned to let him chill 'slaughtering' mates online. PS3 gamers make great fighter-pilots. (In 1960s Dad trained F111 pilots on Oz's first 'gaming machine', ex NASA flight simulator). My son's studies improved. But last week we were burgled! All technology gone. On a carers pension I can't replace kids laptops/PS3. Studies down drain. So enjoy those boy-toys. But spare a thought for those who can't.

Okay. Modern Warfare 3 is a famous game for infamous reasons. Its game mechanics has not exceeded since its predecessor. It's been milked to produce "epic" storylines of a fictional World War 3, losing its charm boasted in MW1 where there was a sense of authenticity in storytelling.

People have complained how it's just a sequel with the "same old" formula.

I reply: So what if it is.
Sure it's not the best, but it is by far enjoyable. As a final chapter, the game perceives a campaign, allowing players to dive into the shoes of otherwise, remarkable heroes who extinguish waves of enemies under impossible odds. The multiplayer recycles the same formula of "run-and-kill", but isn't that what people fell in love with - a fast-paced, adrenaline-filled game equipped with perks, global maps and a lone hero stigma. Plus, there's survival method and special ops to play with your buddy.

My verdict: MW3 is a game famous for all the same right reasons.

Not being much of an online gamer, I always seem to be disappointed when the duration of the latest COD entry rarely exceeds seven hours.
However, the implementation of the Survival and Missions that can be played either solo or in co-op gives the single-players out there a whole new experience. Survival is a superb game to play with a mate and can be truly challenging.
You might shoot your way through 23 successive waves before you both get whacked, but the fact that you have to start right back at the beginning of the level takes me back to my younger days when games were actually hard. The Missions modes equally offer a great variety of bite-sized missions, that again, are best enjoyed with a buddy. Three difficulty levels increase the playability.
If you don't play online, these extras extend the single-player experience and help justify the ticket price.
