    Call Of Duty Ghosts has an amazing single player, an excellent multiplayer and a very important addition to Call Of Duty series. I really do not understand why the negative reviews this game, I believe that children are adults who want to look and Battlefield fanboys. And the best versions of this game certainly is on PlayStation 3,PlayStation 4 and WiiU.

    The singleplayer campaign is the worst that i've seen but they did some efforts for the multiplayer and the other singleplayer modes. The max graphics of the game are similar to MW3.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. If you don't know what Call of Duty is you musta been living under a rock or something.As the tradition says,we get CoD every freakin' year.TBH,CoD has slighty changed every year.And every year it sinks deeper and deeper.After the fenomenal CoD 4 came ALOT of CoD games that were the same.Of course,after Black Ops 2 came out I started thinking that CoD is going in the right direction.Blops2 was pretty damn good.But,that only aplies to Treyarch,beacuse it seems that Infinity Ward just doesn't give a lets see the mess that came from the labs of IW...oh boy...

    Okay,first things first:the graphics.I'm not the graphics guy,but I must say that Blops2 had better graphics (I promise that I will stop comparing these two,okay?).I don't know,just Blops2 had more lively colors,but Ghosts has more of a Grey pallet kinda-thingy.Even the character models look dull (atleast in SP).

    Now,lets talk about gameplay and Singleplayer.Gameplay wise,it's a pretty much the same.There are some cool features in the game (like Riley,sniping with the remote sniper... etc.),but none of these features are that ground breaking...So gameplay is standard.Its fluid,fast,and it can keep you entertained.Okay,now comes the singleplayer.It sucks compared to ANY CoD I played.Every CoD had the singleplayer campaign,which was a short,but pretty epic,experience.Ghosts threw that outta the fooping window!You can predict the games story by just watching the news on TV!So apparently China or whoever stole some nice ODIN equipment blah blah blah EXPLOSIONS,boom boom boom,GUNFIGHTS.Thats the only thing you will experience this time around!The main character is Logan or something which doesn't even talk...I thought we got over that like 5 years ago!Even Blops2(I LIED)hasn't got a main character who doesn't talk¨!You can clearly see that IW was strugling to bring something this time around!Like wtf?So after a while your gonna finish this game...Your dads gonna be killed,Rileys gonna be shot,someones brain fell out when making this game....at the end of this stupid campaign you get a RETARDED cliffhanger,which probally means there is gonna be more of ghosts,which I REALLY hope not.In terms of SP that is.Hey,Jack you retarded say.What about extinction? IN THE SACK.Extinction is zombies but with aliens.SO THAT MEANS IT SUCKS SO BADLY THAT I HAD TO TURN OFF MY PC!Nothing in extinction makes sense!The ONLY good thing is the LOL easter egg,but even that can be boring after 10 minutes UGH!

    Okay,here comes the multiplayer part.Suprisingly enough,there are some pretty cool modes here and there.Like Safeguard,Hunted,Infected etc.The player customization is pretty much THE BEST THING IN THE GAME!woot!*pops confetti*!There is thousands and thousands of possible combinations(you can even be a girl)!There are some special options,like the Ghillie suit,or the ghost mask,or the new ghost mask.Weapons and everything else is standard.But now you can get these tokkens or whatever so you can earn easier,without leveling.Its a nice touch,but it cant fix an ultimately broken game.Maps are bigger which is better and there is A CRAP TONN of 'em.Also some maps can be destroyed in a battlefieldy way...there is a map with a gas station and if you destoy it it blows the up and it changes the gameplay a little bit and it opens new place to camp from.woow...So in conclusion multiplayer is the reason why to buy this game.As for bugs there are few but they are not gamebreaking,apart the ridicolous requerments.The next gen engine is not that much better than the standard engine.
    BUT,there is a thing that bugs me....when they announced Ghosts,I thought this game would be more stealth based.That is a HUGE dissapointment.For me,atleast.

    So in conclusion,this game is not for everyone.For people who want to play the SP are gonna be dissapointed.People who want some nice weekend action,they would probally want to rent it.Only the TRYHARD FANS of CoD are gonna enjoy the game.But hey,that's how Activision makes money,right?    … Expand

    Well, perhaps in front of us the best representative of a series of call of duty!
    Not looking for a fairly short story that can be completed in four hours at Infinity Ward to get a high-quality blockbuster each subsequent misiya not like the previous, cool graphics and plenty of modes for multiplayer. In general, the game was cool but not without faults that...

    This game is not the worst cod ever made, but it's far from being the best. The single player campaign sucks and the multiplayer is ok with a few issues.
    The extincion mode is a very cool addition and i think it may be better than the zombie mode.

    Personally, I think that this game is an upgrade from Black Ops 2. I'm especially fond of the new Extinction mode, it's a welcome change from the old Zombies games. The game is, although it's "the same as the others", fun to play. Sliding around the map avoiding the other team can be pretty amusing. What's so wrong with this game for it to have such a low score?

Also, the amount of hackers exceed MW3 and Bo2 combined, having at least 1 hacker every 3 lobbies on average. Also, there have already been hackers and cheaters since the time of the Beta test, possibly even at the Alpha Stage. Also, there is no point to 'gunfights' anymore. It doesn't matter what the damage is, what the range is, or whatever else there is. One of the players, and it doesn't matter which one it is, will always win the gunfight through some strange miracle. Tons of killcams now show how people only hit around 1 bullet, maybe none of their bullets, but still kill. Ghost has really been a disappointment.… Expand

Most of the time you'll be running around aimlessly, as the maps also have no direction whatsoever. There are countless angles for someone to come up behind you, and that will probably be 75% of your deaths. Most of the maps are a camper's paradise because they are filled with clutter. It's very difficult to anticipate where the enemies are coming from most of the time, which for a run-and-gun game like CoD, this is a horrible thing. The maps really are my major gripe with the game. Yes, they are that bad, and I strongly recommend avoiding this game for that reason.
