The wait is over for fans of action games - Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is now available across New Zealand.
Developed by Infinity Ward, it is a sequel to their highly successful Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, which was released in 2007.
Modern Warfare 2 takes place several years after the first game and players take the role of new character Sgt Gary "Roach" Sanderson who must bring down a Russian terrorist group. The character "Soap" from the first game makes a return as a commander.
Publisher Activision is promising a stunning cinematic action game with new underwater missions, new gadgets such as the motion detector and new vehicles including snowmobiles and more.
The gameplay areas are set across the deserts of Afghanistan, the slums of Rio de Janerio and the wilderness of Russia, and include new larger levels that allow players to tackle missions as stealthily or aggressively as they like.
The multiplayer experience has been improved upon and now supports a set of co-op missions for the first time in the franchise's history.
Modern Warfare 2 is rated R18 and is available now for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC.
