Everything you'd expect from CoD's online matches is here and then some.
Advanced Warfare's competitive multiplayer is where it's at. More like a small sandbox than a linear corridor.īut enough of all of that. That said, AW does bring a few instances of structural evolution to missions, with sections that dare to do non-linearity better than the series ever has before. Charging through straightforward set pieces and using the new exo abilities is entertaining to a point, but it's still the same tired formula. The linear events take you through thrilling moments like jumping from bus to bus on a crowded freeway, assassinating villains using high-tech drones, or racing a boat through a crowded canal.
Then it all ends in a cliched 1980's action movie-style finale that begs for a pun-filled sendoff.įrom a structure standpoint, Advanced Warfare's campaign primarily sticks to the tried and true method of tag-along-with-this-other-character and follow-instructions-or-you-die. It all just feels thrown together in order to keep the shooting and killing coming. However, as the story plays out, Irons' relationship to the main character Mitchell and the other characters lacks any real connection between them and fails to make their interactions feel as emotionally substantial as they're meant to be. The addition of the A-list actor, Kevin Spacey as villain Jonathan Irons, adds a strong presence that is missed in previous CoD villains, plus the amazing graphical detail on all of the character's faces definitely draws plenty of attention.
The story starts off strong, but by the end it runs out of gas.
