We Review: Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare

I don’t like Call of Duty. I don’t hate it either. When I reviewed Call of Duty: Ghosts last year, it was the first time I had played more than an hour in what is arguably the world’s most popular FPS title. I found the experience unmemorable. So I’ve been impervious to CoD fanaticism/hype and don’t have high expectations for this year’s iteration of the franchise, subtitled Advanced Warfare.

As the name implies, this tour of duty is set in the future of 2054 where clever human technology (no alien involvement here) has greatly improved soldiers’ mobility and combat skills. I don my exo-suit and jump buildings in a single bound to bring you this review.

In an earlier video, Future First Person Shooter, you may recall Freddie Wong’s vision of the future where games like Call of Duty can be as real as life itself.

Freddie’s back with another smashing video, this time with another staple of the gaming world. Together with animator buddy Brandon Laatsch, the duo shows what Super Mario Bros. world 1-1 would look like if it were an FPS title, complete with a mini-map and blood-splattered achievements. Check out First Person Mario below.

And have you ever imagine what Super Mario Bros. would sound like if the retro beeps and blips were replaced with more realistic sound effects? Find out after the jump.
