So Real It's Scary

Anybody and everybody who plays video games knows that Call Of Duty 6 better known as Modern Warfare 2, is special but it is not just me who waxes lyrical about this game after getting rave reviews from just about everybody associated with video games but this is what The Sun's security adviser Andy McNab had to say about the illustrious Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 2.

I SOMETIMES play the last Call Of Duty with my godson, who wipes the floor with me, and I was already impressed. But this new game takes it to a new level.

The movement of the characters is spot on.

The way a trained soldier holds and fires a gun is very specific - and they've got the movement right, down to the last detail.

Even the blood spatter and impact of a bullet on a human is correct.

Some maps in particular are very close to the real thing. In the opening level you are fighting insurgents through rat runs, in and out of back alleys, mosques and markets in a city.

That is exactly the sort of conditions our troops were fighting under in Basra, Iraq.

The game really gets across the frantic chaos of a firefight.

I'm sure this game will be on the receiving end of some stick - but its biggest defence is its realism.

It isn't glorifying war, it's bringing it into living rooms and simulating it as closely as possible.
