Underwhelming campaign; Unimaginative co-op setting

entry, no one was prepared for the juggernaut that had been unleashed. Every year, tens of millions flock to their local game store to pick up the newest installment in the franchise.

+ Best single player campaign in years; + Fantastic performances from Kevin Spacey and Troy Baker; + Vastly improved graphics; + Exo-suits are a ton of fun to use; + Rich; deep multiplayer experience

Sledgehammer's Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare offers so much in the way of new gameplay and so many fun futuristic weapons and abilities that it straight-out redefines the series. This is a whole new experience for CoD fans to sink their teeth into and one that just might make a few converts too.
