Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare Reviews
Professional reviews from gaming critics
Advanced Warfare is the latest blockbuster Call of Duty game by developers Sledgehammer Games who take the franchise to a whole new level, especially with its
Nonetheless, Sledgehammer Gamers should be complimented for coming up with a way of adding to the Call of Duty multiplayer formula without taking away from what made Call of Duty’s multiplayer so popular for so many years.
“Sledgehammer Games finds freshness in familiar territory, delivering the best Call of Duty game in years.”
Despite a multi-player mode that’s difficult to love and a pretty atrocious story, Call of Duty Advanced Warfare pleasantly surprised. It adds enough to the core of the game – the infantry action and gun-play – that the campaign never felt like a chore and none of the set pieces and vehicles outstayed their welcome. A new engine and new ideas breath new life into a series that was in serious danger of turning stale.
It wouldn’t be a Call of Duty game without some extra third throwaway mode and Advanced Warfare brings along your generic wave based horde mode.

And last but not least: Exo Survival. In Exo-survival four players are given the objective to fight through various amounts of enemies which enter the map on a wave-basis.

Exo Survival offers a nice slice of content for players, but it may seem a bit simplistic for players who want a more unique experience that differentiates itself from the rest of the game.
