    Perhaps the game's most interesting aspect is its release date. In early November 2008 it hit store shelves, just in time for the Presidential election. Considering it's got a narrative enveloping a potential assassination, a vice-president with a distinctly Cheney-like appearance, and threats from a militant foreign power, perhaps Activision thought it the best window to publish. As it turns out, the release represents pretty bad taste, particularly because the game does not attempt to resolve or present its issues or themes in any sort of elegant manner. Instead it's very much a crude, bumbling mess of a conspiracy plot on a level of ridiculous that occasionally exceeds even the preposterous exploits of Jack Bauer.

    For the $30 I paid for it, this game is a lot of fun. I am surprised that it is getting such awful reviews. It is not COD4 or COD5, but a For the $30 I paid for it, this game is a lot of fun.

    It's a Call of Duty Clone, and it's okay. It's the third entry in a trilogy, and this game looks like a *Masterpiece* compared to the previous.
