Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare

On the DS, Call of Duty 4 is an intense first-person-shooter that's knocked down a few pegs by the lack of online play.

For the most part though, Call of Duty 4 is an impressive, immersive, entertaining pocket experience that truly feels like a miniaturized version of its console counterparts. Online multiplayer is missed, as are more general play options all around (you either play with touch, or don’t play at all), but it’s still an impressive FPS package, with some solid production value, a handful of great “COD moments” to experience, and some decent multiplayer if you scrounge up some local play time. It may not be the top FPS on the system, but for military gaming on Nintendo DS it’s my personal favorite, topping Brothers in Arms in the general entertainment category. More importantly, DS owners now have multiple military titles to sink their teeth into when they’re away from HQ. Hopefully this is the beginning of more COD support on Nintendo’s handheld, as Call of Duty 4 on DS is a great first step for the franchise.
