Game Review – Call of Duty Ghost

In order to ease my stay in Saudi Arabia, where there is not much to do for an expatriate after work, I decided to buy a PS3 having found a very good deal in a specialized shop in Jeddah. In the first batch of games I bought there was Call of Duty Ghosts.

 Call of Duty Ghost is a first-person shooting video game where the Ghosts, a U.S. Special Operation unit, fight against a fearful adversary: The Federation. The leader of the latter is Rorke an ex Ghost that turn into a crazy and powerful enemy.

In the game, the player mainly play as Logan Walker the son of the current leader of the Ghosts and will assigned to conduct clandestine missions behind enemy lines. The game story is very well structured and the graphic is excellent. During the development of the story the player will be mainly Logan, sometimes a German Shepard, Logan’s father, a space scientist using the space suite, a tanker, many different kind of weapons and guns, a tank, an helicopter and so on.

The game is very entertaining and the graphic is superb as well as the story that begins from the Walker’s home where Logan’s father explain what is the Federation, who is their leader and what it is necessary to do. A sudden jump in the future will allow the player to understand which is the threat, the definitive weapon that the Federation is planning to use: a giant space gun to destroy whatever they want on the planet earth.

Step by step Logan will learn how to behave and fight as a ghost and . . . . I will not ruin your time with the game telling you the final.

If you like this kind of game, I think you definitely will love this one. Very nicely done. However there is nothing much to invent. Everything is already set for you, there is always someone telling you what you should do and who you should kill first. You have just to pull the virtual trigger and shoot’em all down.

On the other hand, it is very nice the continue switching from forest fight to snowy places, from Logan to the German Shepard, from the space to the underwater world, from a tank to an helicopter.

Ah, just a piece of advice: set the difficulty of the game to the top. I chose an intermediate one and the game was really too easy to be effectively challenging.
