The spectacle is somehow much bigger than the first game, which I already thought had some great moments. Now there's insane action set-pieces one after another with the developers having fun with the whole color wheel. This game looks incredible in very different ways from the first game which I really appreciated. MW1 had better atmosphere, but MW2 has much more exciting locations. So many memorable, over the top set pieces that I was honestly in awe of at times. The only problem with the increased energy is the lack of downtime, especially in the first half. A lot of the missions were flooded with enemies to the point that I was constantly dying at certain points. Aside from the weird balancing, I was more interested in the story and spectacle. Just a short, action-packed thrill ride which I'd love to come back to again. Hope they port MW3.
