Just awful. The game is full of microtransactions, long loading times, bugs, etc. Everything costs more than double the price of it's single player counterpart, and it takes forever to get a decent amount of money. The only way to get a lot of money is to either buy the stupid microtransactions or keep farming the same mission over and over again. You can't even go out and screw around because if you die or something you lose most of your money, which is not something you want to do. The missions are repetitive, the game modes that there are are boring, and the amount of money things cost is horrible. I feel like Rockstar was trying to do some sort of roleplaying game, but failed misserably.

I feel there is so much more they could have done with this game. The base of the game is great, but the execution doesn't feel well done. Pros: Great graphics, for an Xbox 360 Interesting and well written characters Missions are usually different each time and don't get repetitive Heist missions are a good idea Cons: Not enough single player missions (only about 70 missions) Side missions are extremely repetitive and have little reward or incentive to do Not much to do after beating the game Only 3 heist missions, when the trailers for the game said they would be a huge part of the game Not much replay value

After you finish the extremely short campaign, you're stuck with the very boring grind multiplayer where the game expects you to pay real money for the in game money. This game was a big let down to me, but it's not a horrible game. If you can find it somewhere for around 30 dollars, I'd say it's worth that.

A great port to the 360. Sure it has slightly less graphics, and there are some framerate drops here and there, but it's literally exactly the same as the Xbone and PC versions. It's also a really fun, fast paced fps as well. With mechs. I wouldn't compare this game to CoD as it is, well, nothing like it. It's kind of a mix between Mirror's Edge and Quake, with other FPS elements thrown in. It's really original and fun. Also, there's no aim assist. And thank whoever developer chose that because aim assist makes these types of games boring.

(NOTE: I am reviewing the base game and will not be referring to any of the DLC.) After thoroughly enjoying Black Ops 2 I was hoping this would be an improvement, or at least just as good. But this is a huge step backwards. I'll start with Single Player: It's a cliche story with uninteresting characters and extremely linear boring missions that give the player little to no choice. Now on to Multiplayer: The maps in this game were larger than normal for the CoD series, which they obviously did to compete with Battlefield. However, the large maps just don't fit the gameplay style of Call of Duty and the multiplayer suffers. You'll end up using either rifles or submachine guns as they will be the most effective. This gets very boring though because you'll end up doing the same thing every match instead of trying something new and interesting. Like most CoD games, there were also "perks" to choose from. They were done in a different fashion where each perk was worth points, the better ones being more expensive and vice versa. You had a limited number of points to choose perks from. This sounds balanced in theory though sometimes perks were to expensive and were bad, or too cheap and were extremely powerful. There were also killstreaks in this game, though you'll probably only stick to a few of them as most of them are not very useful. One thing I did like about the multiplayer was the customization that you could do on your character. You could change your characters outfit, gender, etc. This was purely cosmetic but was still a nice way to make a unique character. Now, there is one more mode to talk about. The mode is called "Extinction" and is very similar to Treyarch's "Zombies" mode. In Extinction you and up to three other people fight aliens and try to destroy every hive the aliens are coming from. You also earn points along the way to buy new guns and upgrades. This was by far the most fun mode in the game, though it didn't feel as fun or polished as Zombies. The one level you get with the base game get's old very fast and isn't that interesting to begin with. Extinction also lacks the interesting weapons that Zombies has and you'll just be using the same weapons from multiplayer and singleplayer. Overall I can't recommend Call of Duty: Ghosts to fans of the series or new players, as I feel both will most likely be disappointed. The game is a huge step backwards from previous titles and doesn't offer the same enjoyment.
