The graphics are good, and the campaign is pretty fun. I haven't tried the special ops yet, but that should be cool too I guess. The online multiplayer is not as good as World at War, but it is still pretty fun I guess.
The thing that bothers me most about this game is the fact that it is a little over the top at times. The act of walking into a crowded airport and just mowing down innocent people by the hundreds with huge machine guns is horrific, immoral, and plain irresponsible by infinity ward. We see more and more of these horrible acts actually happening in the world today, and there is no reason for this to be part of the game.
I am typically not the person to complain about violence in a video game, because it is just a game. Well, this went WAY TOO FAR. It is actually kind of disgusting, and makes me feel bad for families involved in recent tragedies like this; i.e. Fort Hood, The incident in FL, Columbine....The game just goes too far.
What's great about it: The graphics are pretty great
What's not so great: Immoral, irresponsible and over the top. Kind of disturbing and scary.
