Call of Duty: Ghosts is a great game. If this was 2007 that is. With a new shooter bearing the COD name released year on year, it's tough to get excited with what Activision and the legions [...]

EGL relies on every iteration of Call of Duty being exactly what fans want, more than any other game. It's what takes centre stage at every LAN event and our midweek/weekend cups always contain a huge number of teams because gamers are highly active on Activision's most prized possession.

Right then. First things first. I don't particularly like Call of Duty games. I've always found them slightly distasteful, and a touch too realistic to have any fun with.

The 'Call of Duty' franchise is firmly entrenched in a rut, and attempting to find fresh aspects requires a fine-tooth comb. While it can be remarkable to find where some creativity has shown through, it's difficult to escape one conclusion.

Call of Duty: Ghosts is more conservative than Black Ops II , but what it lacks in boldness it makes up for with a bombastic campaign, an increased focus on fluidity, and enjoyable new modes.

Call of Duty: Ghosts is a Call of Duty game. There's simply no way of getting around that. It's a very simple first-person shooter offering a short campaign and a heavy emphasis on multiplayer.

Ghosts is a good game, it's not an innovator but it'll sell a ton of copies on name alone. It's a worthy entry into the franchise. A bit long in the tooth though, so it doesn't garner the whizz-bang high score from us.
