    As solid as ever and the best it’s been in quite a while. I just won’t be holding out hope for next year.

    But as someone who deeply cares about narrative in game, it's immensely frustrating to see the money that Activition is clearly throwing at the narrative not bearing fruit.

    Advanced Warfare brings some new elements to the experience that make it stand out, but some of these changes only serve to remind us how rigid the Call of Duty box is, and how unwilling the franchise is to think outside it.

    Advanced Warfare executes the formula competently while adding a handful of bells and whistles like mechs, laser cannons, and double jumps; but Sledgehammer Games seems reluctant to really cut loose and push the setting to its fullest potential, making Advanced Warfare a solid but ultimately unexciting entry in the series.

Another re-skin with slightly prettier graphics. The whole thing follows the formula of previous COD's and adds virtually nothing new. Remember 'that' All Gullied Up mission from COD 4 Modern Warfare? Well, it has been used YET AGAIN in Advanced Warfare, except this time your wearing a cloaking device instead. It starts of in predictable COD manner, on a plane that is about to explode. And there is the bit where you have to hide and wait for yet another convoy to go by. It just recycles missions from past COD's again. I'm amazed that they even attempted to get away with this, again! It really is short of imagination. The only new things really are a "double jump" and a "dodge move". Advanced Warfare is touted as an all new game that will reignite the franchise. But i don't see how giving people more of the same is doing that. The Future setting has been done to death now too. And Advanced Warfare is basically Black Ops 2.5. It needs to go back to more realistic, current or past warfare. The graphics aren't anything special either. Because the game runs at 60FPS means the graphics have to take a hit. As a result, interiors etc feel very plain, and the maps in multiplayer are dead when it comes to detail and content. But that's the price you have to pay when you want a game to run at 60FPS. Multiplayer is also more of the same but with different guns and a few extra moves. But overall you won't really notice the difference and could easily mistake this for a past COD game that you've already played a million times over.… Full Review »
