absolutely nothing in common with the rest of the series, its a Cod clone and feels like they switched gears to appeal to an even bigger audience. most people really hate this game but im on the fence about it. for one thing the gun mechanics are actually kinda cool, everything is weighty and the impacts feel satisfying. though, there is too much shit all over the screen at any given point because of the way the game tries to be arcade styled. theres these challenges that you can compete against your coop buddy for, theres blood splatter, theres words, the hud is just a mess and the font is huge.
the story is uhh...forgettable. you have a team of 4 unlikable characters, one is a cop or something, i dont know the voice acting is really shitty and made me lose all care. seriously theres a heap of retarded ebonics and racial slang that NEVER stops. like, motherfuckers per minute type stuff. each character says "motherfucker" WAY too much. it gets SICKENING. SHUTUP! the graphics are pretty decent, and its optimized well so thats good. the core gameplay and controls feel fluid and fine, so thats the biggest strength. the level design has you go through different types of enviorments, forests, driving through highway gunfights (fuck the driving though), night clubs, car parks.... It has regenerating health. it really is a generic modern FPS, but its a painless one to play through.
The co op is obviously a highlight, so basically just have fluid FPS mechanics, shooting gallery levels, co-op and you have something atleast playable. theres a ton of different weapons and yeah theyre all fun to experiment with, and you unlock them through doing challenges and leveling up. really im not too sure where all the hate comes from with this game, mainly the storyline, but seriously just zone out and tune off the story and just play a decent cod 4 clone.
6.5/10
