Call of Duty Modern Warfare Mobilized (DS) Review

Call of Duty started its life on the PC, but over the past few years it has expanded to take over just about every gaming platform in the known universe. The Nintendo DS hasn't escaped this behemoth with its third handheld version of the mega-franchise in as many years hitting store shelves. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare -- Mobilized continues the progression of refinement the franchise has seen on DS, successfully delivering the Call of Duty experience on the small dual-screen.

Before getting into the meat of the review, it's important to talk about how Mobilized handles on a DS. This is a first-person shooter -- not a generic action game with the Call of Duty name slapped on it -- and that may be a selling or a sticking point depending upon your approach to handheld gaming. Do you love a technically impressive game that does its best to mirror its big brothers on the consoles? If so, you'll find a lot to like here. If that doesn't tickle your fancy, you'd do well to read the rest of this review before making a decision.

There's a heck of a lot of content to go around in Mobilized. There was no skimping on making a lengthy game, you can go back and replay any again once you've passed them once, and there's even an extra challenge mode to eat up more of your time. I do wish that a little more time was taken to make every level memorable, even if it came at the expense of axing a few levels. Mobilized does a good job of mixing up the action, but it also falls back on old tricks a little too often.

If you played and enjoyed last year's Call of Duty: World at War on DS, then you can expect to like Moblized. It brings the war to modern times once more while sticking to the same winning formula. Shooting, manning stationary guns, and getting behind the wheels of some heavy machinery are all part of the classic Call of Duty package and the DS crowd isn't missing out on the fun. The controls won't be ideal for everyone, so give Mobilized a try on a friend's system before you take the plunge if you can. The same goes for the look. Even so, this is one fully featured package and a technically impressive game that successfully takes Call of Duty to the handheld while bringing its own unique presentation to the table.
