"Whether you're thrown into the thick of things with the New York skyline falling in on itself, hurtling through the London Underground chasing a runaway tube-train, attacking a submarine before firing its missiles on its own compatriots or fighting your way through the hijacked Russian equivalent to Air Force One, the action never lets up,” Horne added.
Nick Cowen of T3.com enjoyed the multiplayer portion: "The multiplayer promises endless competitive mayhem online and Spec Ops offers players frenetic co-op fun."
Stephen Cameron of XboxAddict.com said: "It's the same goodness, a lot of the same awesome things that people expect."
Rob Smith of Machinima.com said: "This is clearly a Call of Duty game, following a blockbuster formula that has proved incredibly successful, so without a doubt those wanting more of the same, with a fresh dose of bigger and better, will be very satisfied."
Tina Palacios, community manager on 1up.com and IGN.com, previously previewed the game: "It walks a fine line of providing more-of-the-same experience and introducing slight changes. The campaign wraps up the last two Modern Warfare games in a decent manner; be warned that some of the storytelling elements are recycled; fans will definitely experience moments of déjà vu. Multiplayer is still the bread and butter of this franchise, and is better than ever."
“Modern Warfare 3” is scheduled to release tomorrow for the PS3 and Xbox 360.
Several retailers will hold midnight release launches for those who want to buy the game early.
