Call of Duty Modern Warfare Mobilized game review taken from ds.ign.com.

Call of Duty started its life on the PC, but over the past few years it has expanded to take over just about every gaming platform in the known universe. The Nintendo DS hasn’t escaped this behemoth with its third handheld version of the mega-franchise in as many years hitting store shelves. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare — Mobilized continues the progression of refinement the franchise has seen on DS, successfully delivering the Call of Duty experience on the small dual-screen.

Before getting into the meat of the review, it’s important to talk about how Mobilized handles on a DS. This is a first-person shooter — not a generic action game with the Call of Duty name slapped on it — and that may be a selling or a sticking point depending upon your approach to handheld gaming. Do you love a technically impressive game that does its best to mirror its big brothers on the consoles? If so, you’ll find a lot to like here. If that doesn’t tickle your fancy, you’d do well to read the rest of this review before making a decision.

The controls here aren’t for everybody. Those gamers that love to gripe about dual-analog controllers ruining shooters for the keyboard and mouse crowd thanks to their less than precise aiming should stay far away from Mobilized. You can play either right-handed or left, using the D-pad or the face buttons respectively to manage where you move. The triggers are used for shooting or tossing grenades, and the touch pad handles the rest. Drag the stylus to the right and the camera will follow. Swapping weapon or grenade types, activating switches, or aiming down the sites are all done by tapping buttons on the touch pad. It’s a technically proficient system, but it does require you to hold the DS with your off hand and then lean on it a little with the other. It’s an odd posture that left me with a sore wrist after my first play session. And, of course, it doesn’t offer the most precision or speed. That left me feeling sour about dying with blame laid on the control more often than not. It isn’t a rare occurrence at all to see the enemy and try to aim at him, but not get your shot sighted and fired before he takes you down.
