Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Reflex Review
Posted by archaimbaud 111 days ago (http://www.1up.com)First-person shooters on Wii are easy to ignore, especially (and ironically) when they're Call of Duty games. Sure, World at War was a well-done port, but the World War II-themed COD games always had spin-offs or ports on the "lesser" systems, so it wasn't a big deal in the long run. Modern Warfare was different, since it was only meant for the "big boy" consoles, with no other versions in sight. And besides, it was about modern warfare, not older conflicts that could be artistically interpreted however many ways. But now, riding in the wake of the Modern Warfare 2 launch, comes Call of Duty: Modern Warfare: Reflex Edition, the first "non-HD" version of the original Modern Warfare.
Basically, you can take everything from our 2007 review of the original version and apply it to Reflex, and that's pretty dang respectable. The woefully uncredited team at Treyarch deserves some props for faithfully -- not necessarily exactly -- bringing over Modern Warfare's single-player campaign and multiplayer modes. No, of course it doesn't look quite as good, and runs at less than 60 frames per second, but it's a necessary evil that's not worth harping on. The intense missions are still there, as are the characters, the plot, the great sound design, and of course, the gunplay. So what if there are a few less plumes of smoke on the battlefield?
