Call of Duty Advanced Warfare Review Roundup

Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare Day Zero Edition is now available. And critics across the Internet are stating their opinions about the latest release in the popular franchise. The title currently holds a score of 85 on Metacritic.

Advanced Warfare is the follow up to Ghosts, which was released last year to mediocre reviews. With a disappointing release in 2013, Advanced Warfare attempts to reenergize the franchise.

"Advanced Warfare has gone to great lengths to reinvigorate Call of Durty." IGN states.

"From the unsetting vision of powerful mercenaries run amok in 2054 America, to the cybernetically enhanced abilities, to the touch of a whole new lead development team at Sledgehammer Games, this iteration is the biggest and most successful departure from a Call of Duty game since Modern Warfare brough the series into the 21st century."

Multiple critics agree that Advanced Warfare is well executed.

"For whatever missteps Advanced Warfare makes with its story, it more than compensates with vision and remarkable execution." Polygon states.

"The latter has never really been Call of Duty's problem--Ghosts notwithstanding--but Advanced Warfare adds enough and moves far enough forward with its new abilities to feel like a risk."

Gamespot echoed Polygon's opinion--giving the title an 8 out of 10.

"The last time Call of Duty had 'Warfare' in its subtitle," Gamespot states, "it led to a well-received trilogy that deftly transitioned the series away from a well-trodden global conflict to modern day combat.

If the settings today have their course just as World War II did years ago, Advanced Warfare makes a convincing foundation of futuristic yet relatable combat that is worth exploring and expanding further."

Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare Day Zero Edition is now available. For fans willing to wait 24 hours, the regular version of the game will be released tomorrow. For more about Call of Duty, visit its official website here.
