Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I wont bother reviewing the game itself as there are plenty of reivews up for it.Needless to say, it is phenomenal.The $20 credit on Amazon is awesome, and the main reason I buy games from Amazon.

For an additional $20 over the regular addition of the game, the Hardened Edition contains:

The game packaged in a Steelbook case with a very short, black and white manual
An art book
A card/token for a free download of the original Call of Duty

+The original Call of Duty was previously only available on PC.I havent seen a price for it yet, but I'm guessing it will sell for $15 on XBLA and PSN.There is a lengthy single player campaign, as well as 24 player multi-player.The value of the Hardened Edition completly depends on if you're interested in playing Call of Duty 1.I beat the game for PC years ago, and it's great.It will remind you of the old Medal of Honor games, and after playing it on my XBOX 360, it seems the graphics, sound effects, and the story have held up relatively well.I think most Call of Duty fans will enjoy the original and will be glad they played it.

+The art book is about 38 pages, and it's interesting.It actually has commentary from the developers at Infinity Ward, not just pictures.I am really enjoying Modern Warfare 2, so for me it was worth checking out the art book and getting some additional insight into the game.For example, it looks like Infinity Ward originally planned a motorcycle chase through the streets of Washington DC (or possibly Brazil), but it didnt make the final game.

+I love the steelbook.It is the coolest steelbook I have seen, possibly only rivaled by the Gears of War 2 steelbook in the limited edition.It combines colors like gunmetal and black, with a gold and green Modern Warfare 2 logo on the front.The picture on the front is of a soldier, kind of like the regular version of the game, but with cooler colors.The back of the Steelbook is a picture of the White House. If you have never seen a Steelbook before, it is about the same size as a normal XBOX 360 game case, but instead of plastic it is metal.The hinges are heavy duty, the inside is made of very nice and thick plastic, and the case closes perfectly.A Steelbook alone isn't enough to justify much of an additional cost to a game, but when combined with other items in a "special edition" is a cool and collectable item for fans of the game.

-The only thing I would have liked to see in addition to what is in the Hardened Edition is a dvd with some extra content.This could have included some documentary-style "making of..." videos detailing the development of Modern Warfare 2, in addition to some music, concept art, and so on.I think a dvd like that would have added much more value for your extra $20, but unfortunately is not included.

Thank you for reading!

Product Description:
Modern Warfare 2 is a first-person tactical shooter and the sixth entry in the popular Call of Duty series. True to its name and following the lead of its predecessor, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, it places players in modern combat settings, as opposed to the WWII environments of the earlier Call of Duty games. This modern approach brings with it new weapons, action and options. Coupled with a variety of gameplay modes including single player, multiplayer and the co-op Special Ops Mode, it is destined to be one of the most popular games of 2009 and a worthy addition to the Call of Duty series.
