Call of Duty: Ghosts Reviews
There's so much content on offer in Call of Duty: Ghosts that everyone will get their money's worth, and then some. Infinity Ward could quite easily have rested on their laurels, stayed in their comfort zone to release Modern Warfare 4 this year with little negative critical reception. Instead, they've done something bold with the franchise they gave life to, and as a result have created the best Call of Duty game since Modern Warfare 2. Big, brash and absolutely stunning.
With four very distinct modes – each essentially it's own deep and polished game – Ghosts delivers serious value for military FPS fans
Call of Duty: Ghosts' robust multiplayer suite and refreshingly varied campaign make it one of the best in the series.
Should you buy it? Absolutely. Call of Duty remains a fun game to play and for those that are looking for a multiplayer title with legs, Ghosts will certainly sit atop the pile for the next 12 months.
Ghosts doesn't leverage the PS4 beyond providing a more visually immersive experience, it stands as a more than capable bridge for the franchise. While the campaign is relatively short at eight hours and at times feels very derivative, the high points really shine and the multiplayer experience continues to set the bar for the genre.
Although it follows the same formula, 'Call of Duty: Ghosts' offers a few refreshing changes.
If you're a Wii U owner looking for a great first-person shooter that's comparable to the current generation, then rejoice in knowing that Activision has provided just that experience for you.
Recommended for anyone who love first person shooters and anyone looking to play with competitive gamers.
Call of Duty: Ghosts is a great new addition to the franchise but it is definitely showing its age now. Far too many invisible walls and glitches in the single player campaign show a lack of due care and attention which I didn't expect from Infinity Ward. The multiplayer experience more than makes up for it though.
There is innovation here and even if it's not always in exactly the areas you'd wish it's enough to ensure that Call Of Duty's status as the world's favourite FPS is still largely deserved.
Ghosts is a cookie cutter game with a little touch of alien frosting on top. However, the well-designed multiplayer maps, soldier customization, and polished gameplay is more than enough to sink your teeth into.
Ghosts is polished and fun, but fails to push the series forward in any major ways
With an outstanding new co-op mode and a campaign fueled by fierce combat, Call of Duty: Ghosts is another great addition to the blockbuster shooter franchise.
Call of Duty: Ghosts does a good job on all accounts. The single player eventually goes in a direction which I liked and enjoyed, while the multiplayer holds onto what it does best, with a few tweaks to the formula. It even manages to straddle the generational divide quite well, even though the current machines suffer badly in comparison. However, it is generally more of the same, and really doesn't push itself hard enough to overhaul and redefine what Call of Duty can be.
The PlayStation 4 version is a near carbon copy of its sibling on the PS3. For those that will be satisfied with more of the same from Call of Duty: Ghosts with slightly better visuals, Ghosts won't likely disappoint you.
Call of Duty may aspire to realism, but it's a better game when it acknowledges its silly side.
While the singleplayer gets upstaged by a dog, the multiplayer comes at you from so many angles that you'll inevitably find something to enjoy.
Depending on who you talk to, Call of Duty: Ghosts is either a banal sequel or a fulfilling one. It\'s the series at its worst, or it\'s the series changing just enough to keep it fresh.
Ultimately, Call of Duty: Ghosts can be considered as the standard for what has become expected from the franchise, but even if it isn't a drastic departure from what some have grown to hate or love, it is still a product that is tremendously fun to play with your friends and has enough options to keep you playing for hundreds of hours.
All in all, Call of Duty: Ghosts is a fun experience, if not a memorable one. Graphics are incredible on Playstation 4, and online multiplayer is smooth and accessible, carrying over some of the better aspects of the previous entries.
