Duration of ownership:
Strengths: Good single player storyline, good graphics and audio, fun multiplayer
Weaknesses: Limited depth of multiplayer. Can feel repetitive.
Overall Evaluation: Overall COD4 is a fun and engaging game I wouldn't hesitate to recommend. The single player has a cinematic quality which really engages you in the game play. As others have said its a little short but still a fun experience. The multiplayer is where you will likely spend most of your time. With multiple game modes there is a little something for everyone. Although fun and addictive it can at times feel a bit repetitive since the gameplay really comes down to death match and team death match styles of play. The unlockable "perks" had some depth but new players may feel at a disadvantage until they rank up a bit then its a lot more fun. Team work is definitely needed to succeed but IMO the team play doesn't reach the depth offered by the Battlefield games. On a technical note the graphics and audio are very good. Even so the game is still playable on wide variety of hardware.

Strengths: Beautiful, realistic graphics. Online play.
Weaknesses: Need a workhorse machine to fully enjoy the eye candy. Solo campaign is a little bit short.
Overall Evaluation: I initially bought this game as a present for a friend who had been wanting this pc game. After a somewhat time-consuming install on his mid-range machine, I got to play a couple of the solo player missions and became hooked on the game myself. A few days later, I went and bought myself a copy and installed it. I have a beefier system, so I was really able to crank up the resolution and setting details. This game is very beautiful on a large monitor, and for the first week, I spent a few hours each day playing it. After finishing the relatively short single player campaign, I went online for multiplayer gaming, but didn't really care for the "Rambo" style of play that everyone else was using. I ended up replaying the campaign at a harder setting and still even to this day, I play fairly often.

Strengths: Stellar graphics, immersive game play, timely updates.
Weaknesses: Short single player campaign. Chaotic on-line game play.
Overall Evaluation: I've enjoyed the past titles in this franchise, but this latest installment brings it to modern day warfare. I find it to be the best title yet. Game play is top notch and graphics are incredible! You'll need a relatively "modern" system to maximize the enjoyment of game play. Also, be sure to check for updates on-line to make sure you're playing with the most current version. On-line game play is quite chaotic since most players are simply on-line to shoot anything in sight and not taking the time to build on teamwork. Nevertheless, I highly recommend this game. One of the best right now!

Duration of ownership:
Strengths: Strong storyline, great graphics
Weaknesses: Very high system requirements. Not much teamwork in multiplayer, fighting is a bit chaotic,
Overall Evaluation: I played through the single player campaign in about 4 sittings. After finishing the campaign, there is an unlock for "arcade mode" which is pretty fun. You can pick each mission by itself and adjust the difficulty.I've played Battlefield 2 since 2005, and was expecting that type of gameplay in CoD4. Unfortunately the servers I have played on so far are nothing but zerg fests with players running around like crazy trying to kill each other. There is VoIP support integrated in most of the servers, but I have yet to hear someone arrange a squad and use teamwork.

Duration of ownership:
Strengths: Terrific graphics, good game overall
Weaknesses: Length of game
Overall Evaluation: If you have enjoyed the previous Call of Duty games, you will like this one too. This game deviates from the past one in that it focuses on modern day warfare. It is a great playing game. This game has terrific graphics, and as long as you don't have an outdated computer, your computer won't have a slow display. The ability to join multi-player games on the internet is also a plus. The only downside is that the length of the regular game is not very long. You can finish this game in a few days if you leisurely play it - in a short while if you play non-stop.

Strengths: Amazing graphics, awesome sense of being in the fight, great missions with some really incredible set pieces. E.g. Long range sniping, shooting from helicopters and planes, intense ground battles.
Weaknesses: It is quite short but its mainly because you can't stop playing, it's that good.
Overall Evaluation: Excellent game. I actually like this better than Crysis. Sure you don't have swaying palms but you feel much more like you're fighting for your life. The AC-130 gunship mission is one of the most unique and fun missions I've ever seen in a game. This runs with everything cranked to high where crysis will stutter and will scale better for older pc's. You also get an arcade mode once finished and can go back and try and get the highest point total for being accurate, and quick. GO GET THIS GAME.

Duration of ownership:
Strengths: Storyline, gameplay both online and offline, and multiple game modes.
Weaknesses: Annoying air strikes and helicopters in multiplayer.
Overall Evaluation: This is a top notch game with an excellent single and multiplayer gameplay. Realism was taken into account because you can't just run and gun with deadly accuracy like other shooters or go Rambo like other first person shooters. Team cooperation is a must because you would want to cover your buddy while going down the street otherwise the entire squad takes dirt naps. Call of Duty 4 is very similar to Battlefield franchise; at least the unlocks were much more easier to obtain. Highly recommended!

Duration of ownership:
Strengths: The graphics and game-play are incredible. Far more immersing than the prior Call of Duty titles.
Weaknesses: It takes forever to install this program (roughly 30 minutes on my system!). There are also already four (4!) patches for a product that's barely a month old. Not a sign that it was well tested.
Overall Evaluation: The graphics and game-play are fantastic in this game. I'm a big fan of the Call of Duty series, and CoD 4 is by far the best looking game so far. Of course, that's to be expected since it's the newest. What wasn't expected was just how engaging the levels are to play. There's certainly lots of "fog of war" feelings happening, and you really are instilled with a sense of urgency during each mission. I've played the first few levels, and really need to find more free-time to play the rest! This game rocks!
