Call of Duty: Ghosts (PS3) Review
Released during the transition between console generations, Call of Duty: Ghosts aimed to introduce fresh ideas while sticking to the series tried-and-true formula. While it brings some new elements to the table, its execution on the PS3 leaves a mixed impression.
🎮 Gameplay & Mechanics
Ghosts sticks closely to the familiar Call of Duty style: fast-paced gunplay, linear campaign missions, and intense multiplayer battles. The core shooting mechanics remain smooth and satisfying, but it doesn't stray far from the formula. The new lean mechanic and contextual mantling add subtle improvements to mobility, though they dont drastically change how the game plays.
🎭 Campaign
The single-player campaign is cinematic and action-packed, but the story feels like a step down from previous entries. It centers around a shadowy military force called The Federation and a group of elite soldiers known as the Ghosts. While there are moments of spectacle, the narrative lacks emotional weight and originality.
💥 Multiplayer
Multiplayer is where Ghosts tries to innovate:
-
Dynamic Maps: Some maps feature environmental changes mid-match (like buildings collapsing), which adds a touch of variety.
-
Create-a-Soldier System: A more customizable loadout system lets you tweak both perks and appearance.
-
Extinction Mode: A new co-op mode where players fight against alien creatures. It's a fun change of pace from the usual zombie mode, though its not as deep.
Despite these additions, the multiplayer maps and overall design dont stand out as particularly memorable, and the pace feels slower than fans were used to.
🎨 Graphics & Performance
On the PS3, Ghosts looks decent but clearly shows the hardwares age. Textures can appear muddy, and the frame rate occasionally dips during heavy action. Its still playable, but it lacks the polish seen on newer consoles or PC.
🟢 Final Verdict: 7/10
Call of Duty: Ghosts on PS3 delivers a competent shooter experience with flashes of creativity, but it struggles to leave a lasting impression. While the campaign is serviceable and multiplayer offers some fun tweaks, it ultimately feels like a transitional entry in the franchise that doesnt quite hit the heights of its predecessors.
Pros:
Solid gunplay
Extinction mode is a fun twist
Customization is deeper than before
Cons:
Weak and forgettable campaign
Lacks standout multiplayer maps
Shows technical limitations on PS3
Recommendation:
If youre a Call of Duty fan looking for more of what you know and enjoy, Ghosts is worth a go especially for its Extinction mode. But for newcomers or those looking for the best the series has to offer, this isnt the one to start with.
