    Well, its the same thing, just in different consoles. But, like the DS version, if you get use to the different controls it's gonna feel better and smoother than those in the PC or Xbox.

    The Wii has a lot of catching up to do...

    The Wii port of "Modern Warfare" is good, but not perfect. It's amazing how Treyarch captured the entire experience on Wii. However, control issues hurt the overall package. The Wii-mote/Nunchuck combo works fine for the most part. But when the shooting gets frantic, it can be hard to focus on targets. The downgraded graphics and framerate drops also bring down the grade. Still, I wouldThe Wii port of "Modern Warfare" is good, but not perfect.

    This version has a clear graphic downgrade, which does hurt the result because of the "realism" of the title. The control is bad. It tried to take advantage of the Wii remote but without success. The story, like any other CoD, is generic and riddled with American war clichés, however, it's easy to become attached to the characters.

  1. Taken as a whole, it’s hard not to like Call of Duty: Modern Warfare -- Reflex Edition. The controls are solid and the presentation (while average) is decent enough not to detract from the performance.

    Technical and control issues mean this is far from the best way to experience it. [Christmas 2009, p.46]
  3. Treyarch have built on last year’s success and really worked hard to ensure that Wii gamers are not left out when it comes to great shooters.
