    I expected more out of this. The campaign is short. This the 3rd or 4th CoD game I played so I expected more. I realize that after finishing the game, I could only remember some scenes. This may not mean a lot for some people but for me it speaks how great the game is. In this one this is bad. Sorry CoD fans, this is not a game that I can recommend.

    This was the first game from CoD franchise I've bought, and while I generally enjoy shooters, this title was pretty abysmal.

Maybe I'll leave this franchise to others and stick with Destiny.… Expand

    Great online play, Campaign was fairly good, a bit to predictable. (no futuristic bullcrap, its not halo!!) Sick of all the mockers, of good games! Not as good as the original Black Ops, but, the game, has a poor user score, so a 10/10 should help... It deserves better than a 3.5/10!

The multiplayer is also very fun, there are many different weapons and perks and you can play using a lot of different tactics and is very intense if you don't usually play mp games. The co op extinction mode is actually awesome and superior to zombies; you can actually beat it and is pretty challenging as well as featuring a good levelling system and challenges that force you to play different like electrocute x zombies or have a certain level of accuracy, which really makes for a great and addictive experience and one of the best co op modes ive ever played. It is a solid game that is definately worth playing unless you've got bored by the yearly cod release.… Expand

    I just played the game and found it to be one of my favorite COD's of all time. The combat was amazing and the story was intriguing. The campaign was a little short but other than that it was a pretty great game.

    i know many people didn't liked the story..even i also didn't..but the game play is good..and when u play it offline with your siblings u enjoy it a lot..secondly it doesn't have any robotic tech like black ops III which is good..now it is available for a very less amount..if u have tight budget u must go for it

    Hands down the best experience when it comes to cod! I miss the good old ghost days, it was one of the greatest games of all time, better then The witcher 3, skyrim, darksouls, doom 1 and 2, quake and unreal. every game is terrible in comparison!

    This game is well, pointless. It looks nice, it's not boring, but it's so much similar to previous games, Black ops has its zombies and MW is competitive, but this just doesn't really do anything. its a generic campaign, multiplayer, and zombies wanna-be. There's no point to buying it over the superior Black Ops 2

    Do not like this game really badly designed not a huge fan of the campaign, the multiplayer is OK but most people tend to be annoying on the multiplayer mode, i have asked multiple regular call of duty players and out of the 15 people I asked only about 2 said it was OK.
    13/15 people do not like this game.
    I would not really recommend the game, i would stick with black ops and modern warfare.

    Call of Duty Ghosts was the first Call of Duty to release on the next generation consoles and featured a new IP. But does that make Call of Duty: Ghosts a worthy FPS?

    Call of Duty Ghosts represents a new beginning for Call of Duty. Although from the gameplay it looks extremely similar to previous titles. Its not. Now you might be thinking that's a good thing right? No and yes. Although    Call of Duty Ghosts was the first Call of Duty to release on the next generation consoles and featured a new IP.

    Call of Duty Ghosts represents a new beginning for Call of Duty. Although from the gameplay it looks extremely similar to previous titles. Its not. Now you might be thinking that's a good thing right? No and yes. Although Call of Duty ghosts expands on the formula of FPS it still doesn't add enough variety to the shooter. Infact it feels like a step down.

    Campaign: 7/10

    The campaign is incredible and unarguable one of the best Campaigns in Call of Duty. The propelling shooting, fast paced scenes and detailed visuals gives it a fun experience, not just for Call of Duty fans but also returning and new FPS fans. You take control of Logan, the protagonist who for some reason can not talk at all. Who is faced with a near WW3 situation after ODIN (A space craft from outer space) launches a nuclear device on to the earth. But I am extremely disappointed the lack of character depth and development. The game felt too predictable and felt too short for a campaign(even for call of duty)The game still makes me wonder what happened to the civilians in the earth. Overall I give the campaign a 7/10

    Multiplayer: 6/10

    In where the graphics are nice and pleading in the Campaign. The multiplayer does seem to have a noticeable difference. The detail is tuned down a little bit but not enough to realize. Lets talk about the health. In my experience I felt like I was dying too much and the game felt more like whoever shot first would win. In rare occasions you would win those gun fights. But in game modes such as search and destroy and gun game, there was a persistent balance with the guns and it felt alot more slow paced. Giving me time to calculate and figure out good flank areas. The customization really sets new bars but even then doesn't give enough depth for a 60$ title (Or 70$ for CAD at the time being). Overall I would give the multiplayer section a 6/10. I would not recommend this game for the multiplayer unless your a hardcore Call of Duty fan.

    Extinction: 8/10

    Extinction is the peak of Call of Duty: Ghosts. It really adds depth towards the game and makes the games 60$ value a whole lot more worth it. It really develops upon the zombies mode but puts a spinoff. It develops its own formula and has a currency perk system. Upgrades would include stronger bullet penetration and more. The aliens have a lot of detail and also you cant just shoot every alien. You have to make sure you time your attacks.

    Call of Duty Ghosts isn't a great game, but it certainly isn't a bad one either. It manages to give enough content to come out as a acceptable game but it just doesn't give enough variety to please even hardcore Call of Duty fans. It isn't fun enough. And as most players come for the multiplayer experience, it just doesn't seem worthy. I would buy Call of Duty: Ghosts for the co-op Extinction and the detailed and in depth story.

    Verdict:

    Pros:
    Good Graphics
    Good Customization
    Really Fun Extinction
    Decent Campaign

    Cons:
    Chaotic Multiplayer
    Bugs
    Short Campaign

    The story and characterisation I would say is similar in terms of term of depth to the MW1 and MW2, but for any COD games in general, if you are looking for a strong story with character development, look elsewhere. It is so so. There is not enough dialogue and back story to build relationships between different major characters in the game, ie. family and Ghosts crew to make you care or be emotionally involved. I think the story structure is on the right path, but not enough cinematic scenes to make it epic enough. The artistic cinematic in between missions attempt to narrate the story, but it is so boring as it lacks emotion. There is also not enough story telling to convince me of the villain's motivations for revenge. it's way too simplistic.

    There is also not enough history or backstory for the civil war that is happening. You wonder what really started the war and rebellion?

    In terms of single story gameplay, it's really fun and unique. I like the fact there are gun fights underwater, and even in space. The remote drone control is fun to use but a bit overpowered imo. The element of stealth really shines during underwater fights and in scaling down window panes down a sky scraper during the night to hack computers. It would of been fun if there was a puzzle or make hacking require more skill.

    The one thing I was disappointed by was the graphics, it does seem like PS3 graphics.

    It's a game well worth playing if you can get it cheap.    … Expand

    la historia empieza suave y va in crescendo hasta llegar a unas fases finales magníficas, Infinity Ward nunca defrauda en su modo historia

    un modo online más cercano al COD4 original que a las locuras de ventajas y rachas que vinieron a partir de MW2
    y un modo Aliens que suma

    The weapon sound bad, it doesn't feel good to shoot people it's just a downgrade for infinityward all the way down, the worst part is it Just leave you with a feeling of emptiness and sadness for the people who used all this time and money on a game that is just kind of there

If you can handle it, 2nd and 3rd will be ok. From the game design and directing point of view, there are not enough interesting missions with curious directing. The game doesn't have a calm moment when the player can breathe a little bit.

    Call of Duty Ghosts should keep fans of the franchise going for hours thanks to its uniqualy strange story and its facinating multiplayer graphics and modes, but CoD is starting to show signs that the franchise isn't where it is anymore.

    I dont understand the hate for this game. What it does - it does well. COD: Ghosts is a fun summer blockbuster shooter with good graphics and production value. The short campaign was worth the $25 cost for entry a few years after release. Most of the negative reviews are people who hate Call of Duty just to hate on Call of Duty

    Call of Duty: Ghosts isn’t treading any new ground, but the single player campaign is still a memorable one. But with each installment it’s getting harder and harder to get excited about Call of Duty’s multiplayer. Refining the same ideas over and over again is no longer enough, the multiplayer is in dire need of a complete re-design. [Nov 2013]

    Call of Duty is a series that is oftentimes criticized for making the same game year after year, which is of course totally true and Ghosts is no exception. It even feels like a step back. The campaign is devoid of anything interesting and even the online part feels uninspired. It’s not a bad game by any means but it’s like its predecessors, only worse.
