Review of Call of Duty Ghosts(PS4,PS3,360/BC PC and Xbox One (requested by Andy Cook)

Ghosts are  real....
but is the first CoD game for next-gen  really a big deal?
im Oscar Mike to find out. Hoorah


Call of Duty Ghosts is    another instalment in the highly successful Call of Duty series. This game  takes place in the near-future. in this game an alliance from South America, known as the Federation uses a orbital strike based  weapon , codenamed "Orion"  and its up to the Ghosts Unit of the US Military(and their trusty attack dog Riley) to eliminate this threat. if you have played the previous  entries  in the franchise, the multiplayer element is no stranger to you.

but before you dive  straight  into the multiplayer-take my advice....play practice matches agains the A.I  before you get a REAL  test of your skills in the PvP(Player vs Player) matches.
the accessibility scores are as follows:

Mobility 9.5- very accessible  but room for improvement

 the sick and button layouts from the previous entries in the franchise are there. but fully customisable control layouts would be nice!

  Auduble 9- accessible, but few flaws exist.
this game has full subtitles in the Single Player Campaign, but   none for the multiplayer,  but  the scores is displayed in the bottom left corner of the screen. which keeps the player informed on  whet the state of play is in battle. so the player knows when to up the ante to keep up with opponents and when your team is just  annihilating the opposite team.

Visual- 8.5- mostly accessible but, one again  might need  a bit of tweaking
 Ghosts  has a colour blind filter which allows the player to  see  whats happening, but the Gamertags above their names  doesn't change so how   can the player tell on who is on his or her team and who would rather put a bullet through your character's head?

Gameplay 8-  Good Campaign, but  the Mutiplayer element could be a lot better

 The Single Player Campaign is great. good story. Customisable difficulties ( also in Practice matches which allows skills to be honed and new ones to learn.) but the multiplayer has a number of flaws in it. Firstly they removed  some of  the popular game types and the replacements are not as fun. For example Capture the Flag has gone. *Mortal Kombat Fatality music plays*  and its replacement, Blitz doesnt have the  good things CTF has.  Demolition has gone, and its replacement.Search and Rescue is just a mix between Search and Destroy and Kill Confirmed( don't worry Kill Confirmed is in Ghosts same with Free for All and Team Deathmatch) but the Infected mode(think of it as Infection CoD style) is a lot of fun, same with Extinction( think of that as Ghosts' version of Zombie mode).

Total-88% mostly good game but PLENTY  room for improvement

 Ghosts  still has ,most of the good stuff Good Campaign, Mostly decent MP but is not worth the  extra cost for Next-Gen because the changes between This Gen( like the 360 or PS3) and Next-Gen(PS4 and Xbox One) are very minor,  and runs with the same frame rate.
