Call of Duty Ghosts Review

Call of Duty Ghosts is the tenth title to hit the franchise, and the first of the series to break into the transition to the next generation. The game was developed by Infinity Ward and published by Activision for release on all current consoles.

The game was in a weird state for a while, somewhat of a limbo, it was released for the past gen but with an anticipated release onto next gen. This put the title in a place of not very good sales for a Call of Duty game, but at the same time it was also a success because many people were actually waiting for the Xbox One and Playstation 4 releases. I don’t think I’ve ever seen titles in this situation.

Call of Duty Ghosts is set in the future in which South America have set up a federation to launch an invasion upon the north. In the game the character you control targets one of the senior members and you pursue this with the help of the elite group the Ghosts. However much like many other games from this franchise most of your play through is basically causing mass destruction.

The game is visually beautiful, I played the game on the Xbox 360 which in its already long-life to see such pleasing graphics is outstanding, the developers really outdid themselves. There isn’t anything I can point out in particular that I found to be bad visually the game is fantastic.

If you have played almost any previous game in this Franchise, or any first person shooter actually, nothing much changes the controls have been done and seen before, however, I don’t find this a negative, you’ll be able to jump straight in and have a feel of what you need to do without ready through monotonous tutorials.

The audio throughout the game continues to be what we are used to. The futuristic feel of Ghosts is a nice change however and one of the opening scenes is very interesting visually and audibly. It makes for a great feel overall and becomes very immersive.

I’m not a huge fan of the Call of Duty series as a whole, they just aren’t games that I’d consider buying personally. Ghosts however seems different in a way, I found it very inviting to play and I really enjoyed the story.

I give Ghosts 8/10
