So I just finished this game. That has to be a record for me recently, I’ve completed two fully fledged games within roughly four days. Albeit they are relatively short (CoD:MW2 and GoW2), but still, usually my attention for any game wilts before the end, unless it’s something really special, especially since I’m usually more of a multiplayer gamer. The only other “recent” occasion that I can think that this happened was with the Orange Box, when I would have completed Half Life 2: Episode 2 and Portal within close intervals of each other.
Anyway, back to the subject. Modern Warfare 2. What can I say, it’s great, one of my favourite FPS games since my post-HL2 higher standards. It may not play with puzzles and physics like HL2, but it’s epic production, beautiful, immersive presentation and clever game mechanics fit the bill nicely for it to stand out. It also has one of the most hollywood-style epic endings of any war game, or any game, that I’ve played for a long while. The plot is a little love-hate, I honestly had trouble understanding the twists and turns, like many other people, but it is pretty good and is better than a generic war plot, which it could so easily have been.
All in all, I have to say this is well worth a purchase, and in my opinion, is an improvement over the still very good Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare.
On a different note, I hope you all have good, fun new year celebrations, this will likely be my last post of 2009 so, from me this is a somewhat sad goodbye to the noughties, my era of schooling, growing up, friendship, happiness and juvenile lack of worry, and a gloomy hello to the “tens”, and my unfortunate, unwilling adulthood. It’s essentially the last piece to fall until everything I’ve clung onto from that era is no longer part of my life.
