GameSpy has slapped up their take on Infinity Ward's recently released first person shooter, Call of Duty 2. With a perfect 5 out of 5 star rating, they really seemed to dig it. Here's a taste:

What's most different about the missions in CoD2 is the level design. From one perspective, it's still mostly a linear progression, going A-to-B-to-C-to-D and killing everything in between. But now, instead of narrow pathways and city streets, that stretch from A to B is just as likely to be a huge town square with enemies crawling all over it, demanding you dart back and forth from cover to cover, looking for a way to get the perfect angle on that MG42 nest in the distance. Towns in North Africa are filled with side streets, and buildings in the Russian campaign let you pick the best spot to snipe from. It's encouraging to see games like Call of Duty 2 and F.E.A.R., which prove that even in the context of a linear, cinematic experience, the combat can still be dynamic and turn out different every time you play it.
