Call of Duty 4: Game of the Year Edition (Multi-Platform)

The Game of the Year edition has just been released in all its full glory, for all platforms including the Apple Mac. It's truly a magnificent game; essentially the GOTY includes all the updates, correction to disk error issues and 4 extra multiplayer maps.

The Game itself is magnificent, this time departing from World War 2, to arrive at the present day, where a country has had its President disposed by a Mad General, who holds the world at ransom with a ticking nuclear time bomb. We know what time it is, to send in the World's elite forces.

You take the role of four soldiers, 2 from the British SAS and 2 from the US Armed Forces, fighting an array of enemy units ranging from soldiers to helicopters to Rocket launching tanks.

The terrain is a mixture of Middle Eastern Cities; Villages in Russia, Nuclear radiated towns, Ships and launch pads.

The Lighting is so well done, and the attention to details is remarkable, you can see different kinds of shades, depending on position of the light source, you can even see it in the sunglasses of fellow soldiers and enemies, and that's not even the end, they even get down to the most finest of details, scratches and grime marks on weapons to the stubby unshaven faces of soldiers.

The Action is fast and fluid, requiring a lot of team-work from the AI and the Story and music that comes packaged in this first person shooter is on par with a Hollywood film, they went all out to make this big.

Playing it online, is comparable to Halo 3, as there are a 100 or so challenges to complete, such as have a 5:1 kill ratio in a match, Getting a selected number of kills with a machine gun and even completing a challenge for shooting through walls. The multiplayer game play enables players to call in airstrikes and helicopters to take out other players. The Multiplayer maps are all based on parts of the single player game, with a few exceptions that the GOTY edition brings.

I would give it a 10/10, this is a game you don't see every day, and it's so well finished and well structured, its going in my all-time favourite games.
