Finished the single player mission on Normal level. Including the bonus level after the credits (No Harrison Ford in the bonus mission though- Shame)

It is a Very Very Very good game that is Very Very Very short game. It took about 5-6 hours to complete the single player game.

It was fun. There are some excellent missions in the game. My personal fav was the sniper mission in Chernoybl, however the helicopter gunship levels (There are a LOT of helicopters in this game) were not bad and the opening level on the ship was cool.

Basically the single player is lots of fun.

It also unlocks an arcade mode where you can play the levels for points. Everytime you shoot a bad guy a +10, +100 type score appears.

I also unlocks a cheat mode depending on the amount of intel you collected in the game you can play COD Noir (i.e in Black and white) or a variety of other cheats.

The multiplayer is fun which is just as well as £44 for 6 hours of single player is criminal. (Actually i'm starting to notice a pattern. Halo 3 and now COD4 had VERY short single player games and are only saved due to extensive multiplayer games. Personally I'd rather have the longer single player experience.)

8/10 The actual game experience is 10/10 but knocked 2 points of for lack of length
I watched some of my friends play this on the XBox 360. The graphics were amazing, almost HL2 quality, and I liked how the main character was an SAS soldier through part of the game.

However, I was really disappointed how the game took a turn towards a James Bond movie near the very end. I thought the point of the Medal of Honor/Call of Duty/Battlefield games was that you are a small cog in the much greater gears of war, not the savior of humanity?

I'm not one to always complain about political correctness, but did anyone else think the "bad" Russians looked Arab?
