"Call Of Duty 4 Three: Red Dawn: The Videogame" is completely stupidly awesome. Emphasis on "stupid".

I hid the President in the meat locker of a DC Burger King while ten billion Russians tried to kill us with tanks. And this is *after* jumping off a mountain onto a snowmobile and riding it off a ski jump to get safely into a helicopter.

No, really. And there's an Achievement for killing 10 guys with 1 bullet, which I have. Because I'm just that awesome, apparently.

WOLVERINES!

But do you paraglide from a Mustang to a speedboat to play Nicolas Cage?

Not yet. But I haven't gotten very far in the game, either.

I think that first you have to kill the Russian commander by driving a tank into his helicopter.

I think that's in the next level

What's sad is that I've actually seen that happen in a movie.

Reminds me of this.

"You know those scenes that play out in every action movie made since 1980? The ones where the bus jumps the broken bridge? Or a man falls over the edge and everyone thinks he's dead—but it's okay because a single hand suddenly appears, clinging to the cliff? Or how about the plane that's trying to escape from an explosion and gets enveloped in smoke – only to come bursting out with impossible speed? What about the eleventh-hour miscalculation that results in the timer speeding up towards impending disaster? Then there's the grandpa with regrets, the 'ultimate sacrifice' guy, the wormy scientist who makes good, the noble daughter who outlives the father, the divorcee who falls back in love, the evil rich dude, the ethnic stereotype village, the holy man on the mountain, the beauty queen with the handbag dog, the dude with two day's pilot training who must repeatedly fly everyone to safety at street level, through a collapsing city? What about the obligatory heroic kid, or the water escape scene, the tacked-on happy Hollywood ending where it's all sunshine and laughing and nobody really feels too remiss about the death of 5.9 billion people?

And that's not even the half of it. Seriously. It goes on and on like this, piling on so much rehash that you will laugh. You can just sit there, switch off and let it wash over you like action-porn. In fact, perhaps that's exactly what 2012 is – the rebirth of action for the sake of action. To describe 2012 as the best 'rollercoaster-ride-with-a-story-attached' is about as much praise as we can muster for this production."

What, No sacrificial lying-on-a-primed-grenade to take out the bad guys?

Thoughts on the airport level?

Apart from the pretty typical American jingoistic paranoia implied in the idea that
A) there are terrists who HATE AMERICA and who will kill everyone BECAUSE THEY HATE FREEDOM
B) everyone in the world who isn't an American is trivially duped by terrists and will immediately begin to worship as a martyred God any terrist that America kills
C) a full-scale invasion of the USA is only moments away and even the slightest wavering will cause it to happen immediately
D) anyone who isn't an American - the Russian Army, say - will not just deliberately go out of their way to target civilians, but will do so by preference, targeting them *before* military targets who are currently shooting back?

No, nothing particular to say.

Whoa. Deja vu.

My favorite part of this game:

[raie.livejournal.com]

Is when you drive your armored car through gunfire over a mine field mowing over men and crashing through the sandbags. You then have to dodge RPG fire by swerving through the city streets, (bonus points for every civilian you mow over with your car.) And only after you come out the other side of the town, you trip a roadside bomb and take heavy damage. Car on fire! You climb up and ready your automatic weapon, light up a cigar. The two hot babes in bikinis who were hiding in the back the whole time climb all over you, felating you through your army camo. As you surf your burning vehicle right into the mouth of the cave grinding terrists down under your wheels and only leaping off at the last minute to see the horror and awe in Osama Bin Laden's eyes as you unload a clip into the gas tank and explode him. The pressure of the blast throws you clear of the cave and you find yourself beating satan himself in an arm wrestling competition. Then Jesus comes down and chest bumps you and takes you home to your hot wife who already has dinner made for you and doesn't even own shoes.

Bonus points to anyone who can tell me at what point your description diverges from actual gameplay. Because it's actually pretty close.

The cigar?

For some reason I read that as Call of Duty 3: Red Dwarf, which is clearly something entirely different.
