    Gameplay

    One of the most fun next-gen shooters i've played to date. Single player design is great even if short. The online has kept it on the top of XBL leaderboards for half a year. Overall very fun and a great break from WWII.

    Gun sounds and explosions are excellent. Character voices are superb. Music is fantastic and fits the mood perfectly.

    Online

    Easily the best part of the game. The main reason this game has received so much praise. Will keep you coming back until COD5 and beyond. Very detailed weapons upgrades system. Great variety of perks. Maps are detailed and done very well.

    Overall

    A must-have title for both the PS3 and 360. One of the best next-gen shooters to date.
