The Bottom Line:

"Great multiplayer"

This game is, without a doubt, a very enthralling and addictive game.

The single player campaign is good, however on the harder settings it can get close to frustrating. One of my main gripes was the blood splattering up on your screen after only getting hit a couple of times. I like the idea of the blood splatter, but it should be held off until your 1 or 2 shots AWAY from dying.

Apart from that, the scenarios are sought of far-fetched, but that's what makes this game so amusing. When you finish the game, you'll probably say 'jesus, that was an intense james bond like experience'.

The graphics, sound and music are all par excellence so there's no need to comment about that. If you don't believe me, just watch some of the game play videos.

But it's the multiplayer experience that REALLY shines out. I don't think I've ever this addicted to a multiplayer FPS since Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory on the PC.

The customization is the best I've seen so far. These game play additions such as perks, huge selection of gun customizations and death streak 'rewards' means that even if you're a level 1 vs a level 60, you still have a chance at killing him...even if it takes 4 deaths in a row to steal his load out.

The Achilles' heel of the multiplayer competent in my opinion is annoying 'host drop outs' which can happen at any time...but that's the nature of online gaming i guess. And it has only happened to me a few times out of 100's of games so far so that's hardly worth a mention.

To sum up, if you want an adrenaline pumping single player campaign and a multiplayer experience where you might need to take up snorting substances just to put down the controller, then this is the game for you!
