------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The 2007 First-Person shooter masterpiece that was well graced on the XBox 360,PS3 and P.C and now 2 years later Treyarch brings the amazing action of Modern Warfare to the Wii with outstanding results.

Unlike other Call of duty games where it focuses on the World war 2 era this game takes it to the modern age. A roughness Russian terrorist group has taken over the country in the middle-east and is threatening the world with nuclear weapons. You'll play as a British SAS Solider Soup Mctavish and US Marine Paul Jackson as you attempt to stop the Russian terrorists from executing their plans. One thing that draws the campaigns interest is Captain Price who has quite amazing characteristics and a quite a mustache, other then Price pretty little in ways you can look up to the other characters but the epic battles serves the some of the most memorial Gun-battles.

Every bit of content that was included in the original versions makes a notable appearance on the Wii. You have the campaign mode that is quite short since it only lasts for about 6 hours long but the battles are epic, you'll blast your way through numerous enemy solders, control a turret in a helicopter to blast vehicles, sneak past people in a camouflage to get into different sniping positions or controlling a hind turret. You'll also use a different set of tools at your disposal like Night vision goggles or Missiles Launchers. Reflex edition also has the same Arcade which you play levels to get the best scores and also included in reflex is an option where you can include a second cross-hair on the screen which can be controlled by another player. The Multi-player is where the game is at it's best after all these years. All of the Multi-player modes, perks, kill-streaks and challenges are all included in Reflex edition. As you gain experience points from defeating players online you'll gain new weapons like powerful sniper rifles and RPG's and perks like sprinting more longer and the infamous Martyrdom. All the maps are also in the Wii version and there are different multi-player game types like simple Death-matches and Team based modes like Capture the Flag and Domination. Although the multi-player is the same as you expect from the original there are a few sacrifices made to the package compared to the original. There's no down-loadable content to speak off so any down-loadable maps you liked in the original won't be coming. The online Multi-player only allows up to 10 people per server and the servers are easy to create and jump right in, however if the host logs of the game it will end and you'll be stuck with the final score you'll got. Reflex also uses friend codes but playing with friends can be a bit of a problem at times. The game can also lag occasionally if you're playing with a default connection but overall the Single-player campaign provides some epic thrills while the online Multi-player is well additive and it's still enjoyable after 2 years.

Modern warfare Reflex has a list customizable control options and there's also support for the Wii Zapper. Once again the Zapper controls are great when you know how to use it but the calibration is still worthless. Playing with the default controls works a lot better then using the Zapper. You can also set the camera sensitivity and dead-zones to adjust your turning so you'll find the setting which is easier for you.

The biggest difference with Reflex Edition is that the graphics and details are downgraded from the original version. Still it looks great with nice smoke effects, solid models and fluid and well detailed animations, although there isn't any real time textures. The frame rate can get a little choppy when the gun-battles get chaotic and there are some graphical glitches like unloaded textures popping in which sometimes can make the game a bit of a creep-show. You still deny that the game still looks up to it's name on the Wii as the company's done a decent job with the game presentation.

Call of Duty Modern Warfare Reflex Edition recaptures the best aspects of the original on the Wii but unless you still own the original version you then there's no much reason you'd need to play the Wii release, but if you've missed a chance to play the original game before now's the perfect to join in the war for this is one port of a already superb game you'd want to check out.
