Call of Duty 2 Critic Reviews

A freakin' work of art. It is, without a doubt, the best-looking console game to date, and the most psychotically intense World War II shooter to boot.

It’s by far the best of its kind, and the variable but fair enemy AI keeps the game fresh, especially on higher difficulties.

As you play the game you just can’t help dropping your jaw in amazement at what you’re seeing and getting to do.

Something special. It's a war shooter that's both intoxicating yet grisly. From the game's first moments as a young Russian soldier learning the ropes, you'll be sucked in to combat.

Quite simply, this is the best WWII game ever made.

Infinity Ward took the bar, threw it up, and jumped over it when it was still in the air.

A true gamer’s dream. This is a title where every aspect of gaming comes together seamlessly to make an instant classic and quite possibly the best Xbox 360 game on the market right now.

It's so pretty that it’s fun to just simply watch it rather than play it.

A fantastic PC title that didn't get watered down in the conversion to console. If this is the future of console gaming, I'm sold.

Call of Duty 2 is easily one of the best war games I've ever had the chance to play. It features one hell of a campaign as well as a solid online game to boot. Infinity Ward has created a near masterpiece in this amazing sequel. Call of Duty 2 is a must have game, any way you look at it. What are you waiting for? Go buy it now!

Sure the health system is unrealistic and the multiplayer options may be a little drab, but the game itself is phenomenal. This is easily the best WWII shooter on the market and the best FPS on the Xbox 360.

A fantastic effort, and worth the cash to own this one outright.

A must have title. If this is the future of console gaming, I'm sold.

The definitive, most universally appealing WWII title ever made. It's not that the game does anything more or less than its digital brothers in arms, far from it, but instead it strips the genre down to the bare essentials and this turns it into one of the most pure shooters we've seen for some time.

As close as you'll come to starring in an epic war movie.

I'm generally the first guy around to make fun of "another WWII-themed game," but Call of Duty 2 not only wiped that smirk off my face but turned it into a teeth-grinding, pulse-quickening, Nazi-shooting grimace. When you have to put down the controller after one mission just to gather your wits about you, you know you’ve found a great game.

It is a finely tuned work of art with so much research and attention to detail incorporated into it that action gamers will become totally immersed in the unrelenting experience of brutal combat.

The environments (indoor and outdoor) all scream for you to search through them all and see the effort put forth to create this fantastic game.

Both online and offline, this is my frontrunner for Game of the Year until something else shows me otherwise.

Stunning graphically, a pleasure to control with the 360 gamepad, Call of Duty 2 is an amazing example of precisely what gamers can expect from the machine.
