After playing this game, I was impressed, not as much as I thought I would be. I really liked the approach on this game and how the character can mess with time to use it to his advantage. You really need to think about how you are going to control time before you do something because if you don't do the right action, you just might not survive.
What's great about it: Innovative, strategic, gotta find the right way to do things!

I am glad CoD 4 is out. After playing CoD 4, I thought I would come here and write about how repetitive this game can get. Even CoD 3 played JUST like CoD 2. I mean, hardly any story involved, all you do is follow the courser and get missions accomplished. A.I. can be "koo koo" at times, but that was expected. Never the less, very fun to play.

I should go back and play it now. Highly Recommended.

I only give it a 4 because I am a fan. If this was my first time playing it, it would've been a 5/5. Hardcore fans probably give it a 3 hence its not that different from previous MoH game.
What's great about it: Fun to play, amazing settings.
What's not so great: Same old MoH game play. Nothing too new.

Well, let me start with what I hate most about this game: It's slowness. Actions wise. I want to roll, that takes a good while. I want to switch from nades to gun or the other way around, that takes another life time. Its just too slow. For my taste at least. Besides that, its a fairly solid game. Fun to play. People that have played other game, other third person shooter games, will know what i am talking about.
What's great about it: Great weapon selection, realistic, fun.
What's not so great: Can be slow. Actions are slow. They are not done quickly enough.
