This is my reviews page where I review games

Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2.
===

Singleplayer:===

Basic storyline is good but if you go into it too much the cracks start to appear

Nearly all sections of campaign are well designed and most mechanics work well

Characters are well developed yet some are slightly unrealistic

Wide range of weapons

Wide range of locations

AI is very good, if not slightly favouring enemies over friendly meaning you have to do more work

Music is good.

Graphics are very good

Realism is ok, as sometimes it doesn't make sense

No dev console

No Russian was just a publicity stunt that didn't deserve the hype that it got

Over all: 7 out of 10

=== Special Ops:===

Concept is good

Matchmaking is dissapointing as you have to play with friends now

While most of the missions are good, some are just infuriating

Lack of save points or friendly AI makes some missions just impossible

Many ideas recycled from singleplayer

Some enemies, such as the Ghillie Sniper and the Juggernaut are fun at first but the novelty soon wears off

Later missions just feel like more enemies were put into a level to make it harder instead of thinking of a clever gameplay mechanic

Juggernauts are overused

A bit of fun, but that's as far as it goes

Over all: 6 out of 10

=== Multiplayer:===

Maps are well designed, if not a little small

Some new perks are good, however old ones are generally better and new ones tend to be under or over powered

Weapon balance seems to be all wrong

No PC dedicated servers

No leaning

Host migration is slow and painful

Attachments are either under or over powered.

Generally feels broken.

People playing end up violent and annoyed, not the purpose of a game.

Over all: 6 out of 10

Over all score: 19 out of 30

==&nbsp Assassins Creed 2:== ===

Pros:===

Sotryline is rich and well explained

Characters are well developed and vary alot

Locations are very well designed

Weapons are very good and balanced

New money system work well

Very historically accurate

Maintains the Assassins creed trademark gameplay

Collectables are good but not brilliant

Levels and missions are great to play

Hireable allies is a great gameplay mechanic

Side-quests are fun and varied

Much more to do than previous game

Explores generally unrepresented era

Cons:
Collectables are a little annoying, as many of them are really hard to find or numerous

The Block/Counter system is improved on, but it still remains as the only way to win a fight

Money loses value near end of game

The notoriousness level is realistic but fills up too quickly and lowering is tedious

Maps are huge and can take long time to reach one place

Smoke bombs can ruin combat if overused

Some weapons (E.G Dagger) are not worth using as better weapons exist

Overall Score: 8/10
