    Absolute gloom, boring plot, disgusting graphics, terrible weapon physics. The whole repetitive, predictable plot is terrible. You pray to get through this faster.

    With it's terrible campaign, boring multiplayer, and overall poor performance, ghosts is by far the worst game in the franchise. The call of duty franchise has gone to ****

    WHY IS THIS ON NEXT-GEN? It has no purpose. Not only that, its also a crappy game anyways, making this "Next-Gen" version WORSE. I would at least give the Last-Gen version a 5.

    In my opinion the worst COD ever, visually it is one the same level as the PS2 games, the campaign is a bit boring and of course repetitive and the multiplayer mode is a complete disaster. The maps are bigger the Battlefield's ones for a 6 vs 6 game, they're ugly and boring as hell.

    Easily the worst COD ever made. A big COD gamer all friends and I left cold and disappointed by this release and we now don't play COD at all. The main problem is it just doesn't feel like COD. People can argue wether or not its Next Gen the main problem is it just isn't fun. TERRIBLE

    I just want to explain why I gave it a 4. The game wasn't terrible but it wasn't good. The best parts where were you got to play as the dog and rip people's throats out. Otherwise the story was really bland. Online matchmaking wasn't terrible but the variety of maps seemed very limited unless you decided to fork out more money to buy their mappacks.

    Compared to other COD games, this game is garbage. The maps are entirely to big, the colors are to drab and everything looks the same making it difficult to see who you are shooting at, the guns are forgettable (except maybe the tac 12), the spawns are ridiculous. I thought this would have changed from 360 to Xbox One, it hasn't much. People you kill still spawn directly behind you. TheCompared to other COD games, this game is garbage.

    Boring, uninteresting gameplay. Really wish I hadn't bought the Season Pass at the same time I bought the game. I went back to playing Black Ops II on the old 360 which is a superior game in all regards.

    My review is simple. Call of Duty Ghosts is the worst game I have played for a very long time. I have played the MP since launch and every now and then I jump into it again to see if it's better than I remember and honestly, it gets worse every time. The MP is unbalanced, laggy and runs on the same engine as every other COD.

    The single player is a drag through a tunnel, a film you spent £10 on and enjoyed the trailers more. I normally love COD games and they are a yearly purchase for me but this is just horrible.

    If you are thinking of picking this game up, don't, just don't. Go to your nearest homeless person and hand them your £30 or £40. Trust me you will feel better.    … Expand

Half of the game modes that they offer are retarded and the other half you expect are not there. The only thing Ghost accomplished is showing the world that they can fail at making a game. Sorry call of duty you finally lost a since day one gamer and don't know if you will ever regain one. Next time spend more of your time reviewing the specs on the multiplayer part of it instead of wasting your time on the story mode. All in all this game was such a waste of money I'm no sorry to throw it in the trash. . which is hard for a gamer to do. We all hope you can figure your stuff out on the next game or you will be a thing of the past. Learn and live is what I say until hundreds of game designers can't piece a game together. Fire your whole crew and start again please or this bummer of a game is gonna seal your fate. Thanks, sincerely Xbox Lover For Life….we hope.… Expand

    There is no run and gun in this game. Unless you're in a clan that is and that point you as the single player will always be overwhelmed because as you kill one person here comes the other clan mates coming through how many more side doors to kill you.

    You really can't be that tactical in this game. Once someone sees you, you're dead. That's it.
    Also, this game is pretty much pay to win. They are selling this rifle called the 'Maverick' and it just kills people within nanoseconds of pulling the trigger.
    The only reason critics are saying that this game is good because they're either being paid (IGN) or they only care about the graphics. I really couldn't care less about the graphics if the gameplay is brilliant but that simply is just not the case here.
    A disgraceful game. I will not be recommending this game to anyone. I regret buying this garbage.    … Expand

    I was a huge COD fan on the 360 but this game is just plain not fun. Multiplayer maps are a joke - poorly designed and too small. Single player is boring. There sadly isn't much to like about this game, here's hoping for a better experience with the next COD.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. One of the worst Call of Duty's ever made! Single player has the most stupid, generic, and predictable story line ever. For example, in the end you shoot Rorke with a 44 magnum in the chest and flood a train that fell in the water. You and your brother (whoever their names are, these characters are so unmemorable) swim to the shore and everything seems fine; then out of the blue Rorke comes out, breaks your arm, and locks you in a cage in the end cut scene (hinting at a sequel). A step backwards from the innovation of Black Ops 2. The multiplayer is not much better than the single player. **** maps that are larger than in any other Call of Duty. Super fast killing weapons that encourage camping along with the most **** annoying lethal called the IED. The action is extremely boring on most maps except Strike Zone and Free Fall. They completely ruined Scrapyard (called Ignition in this game) when they launched DLC, because of all the campers and other problems this game has compared with MW2. Extinction was a good idea, but fell short after DLC came out. Point of Contact was a bit fun, but could become repetitive. DLC was extremely disappointing. Nightfall was so damn difficult that it was unplayable. The only thing Infinity Ward did right was perk balance. That was it! Scorestreaks are so weak that it is ridiculous, except for the guard dog and the juggernaut maniac. I would have preferred survival from MW3 versus squads in this game. I barely play it. I got bored of this game in less than 2 months. This entire game is a complete pile of **** and can't believe I wasted $120 on this. If you have not bought this game already, do yourself a favor and get a better game like Titanfall instead. DO NOT BUY THIS GAME!… Expand

    Multiplayer is the same old CoD. I'm so very tired of being forced to use guns I don't know the name of because a good old "M4" is played out. There's a reason every game has the AK, M4, and MP5.

    Add to that inexplicably sped up multiplayer genres like Cranked and Blitz, and all I can think is...who the hell plays a CoD game and says, "man, if Multiplayer was just a little bit faster?!?"

    Infinity Ward has lost capacity, it's out of ideas. Call of Duty: Ghosts is the same blast of scripts in single-player and the conventional formula in multiplayer. That's all. Fun and addictive as always, this game is silent in your Call of Duty collection, it leaves no trace.

    Call of Duty: Ghosts is a mess of a game. That’s not to say that it’s nonfunctional or bad to play, rather, it loses sight of its core principles and eschews an amazing opportunity with the advent of our transition to next-gen, as well as being the first true IW CoD sans Zampella and West, through poorly constructed (and utilised) tech, half-assed delivery of modes and a single-player campaign that sets the series back more than a few years.
