4406 - Call of Duty Modern Warfare Mobilized

August 17, 2009 - It's tough to go head-to-head with some of the best FPS developers in the world, but every year developer n-Space brings the household name of Call of Duty to players on the go. When stacked against the likes of Treyarch and Infinity Ward it's easy to look over the pocket offerings and move straight to the 360/PS3/PC powerhouse consoles for FPS goodness, but for those smart enough to take a quick second and see what Activision is offering on Nintendo's portable there's a gem of a series that is going strong. Modern Warfare accompanied COD4 on 360, the developer again brought impressive tech and a surprisingly comprehensive look into World at War, and as the countdown to 11-10-9 began yours truly – being perhaps one of the largest COD fans on the planet – was getting prepared for not only a great HD version of Modern Warfare 2, but also n-Space's next DS effort.

I wasn't let down either, as a quick hands-on session in LA last week left me psyched for not one, but two COD offerings this year. Modern Warfare 2 is going to dominate consoles for the remainder of 2009, but n-Space's Modern Warfare: Mobilized is one heck of a DS package, complete with new modes, new weapons, some of the expected pillars of the Modern Warfare world (AC-130 anyone?), as well as an all-new story and design. Rather than being a pocket-sized version of the events from Modern Warfare 2, n-Space is opening the game up and ready to tell its own story. It's the Modern Warfare world, but it's also a 100% standalone game.
