Call of Duty back as top gun game

MANIC MISSION A BLAST

WE needed a strong Call of Duty after 2021’s Vanguard failed to scratch the itch for many a first-person shooter fan.

CALL OF DUTY MODERN WARFARE 2 ★★★★★

And we can happily report that original developer Infinity Ward’s 2019 Modern Warfare follow-up is very much a return to form.

While there are no zombies in sight, we have a stellar action-packed story campaign featuring some of the best next-gen graphics out there, the return of co-op mission play and a thoroughly addictive multiplayer suite.

It’s a wonderful mix of manic gun action, and the gameplay works brilliantly to restore Call of Duty to the top of the first-person shooter league.

The campaign reunites us with familiar faces in Task Force 141. Previous game British heroes like Soap, Ghost and Captain Price are back in all their cheesy Cockney glory to go to war against an Iranian terrorist who’s got some rather naughty firepower.

What ensues is a heady mix of Fast And Furiousstyle movie action mixed with all-guns-blazing firefights and a smattering of over-the-top voice acting.

It’s a visually stunning game, the very best of nextgen graphics on the PS5, as movie-quality cut scenes effortlessly bleed into game action with a screen alight with explosions and flying bullets.

It’ll see gun game fans not only through Christmas but most of 2023 too because it’s so damn moreish.

For that reason, it’s not only a top-tier game but one with huge value for money.

Get your gun, soldier – CoD is well and truly back!
