GunZ 2 Review

GunZ: The Duel is a new online third-person shooter game, developed by Korean-based MAIET Entertainment, who is also the makers of Windows. It is their second game in the "Call of Duty" series. So far, GunZ: The Duel is the only release of the Call of Duty series for Windows. If you are wondering what is so special about it, well, it has everything you expect from any other Call of Duty game: plenty of gun shooting action, fast paced gameplay, excellent visuals and effects, and lots of high quality multiplayer options. However, what makes this game different from other co-op shooters and what also helped make it stand out is its use of the Java platform, that runs on the Windows operating system. Java is one of the most easy to use and best platforms for creating games, so that was what they added to make it run smoothly on Windows.
After getting the basic idea of the story, I found that the game is set in Africa during the 80s, and you get to play as an African hunter, who gets sent on a mission to find out who's been stealing the gold! On your way you will have shootouts with snakes, monkeys, loot bags, loot crates and much more, to name just a few. I really enjoyed the seamless transition from playing the single player campaign, where you get to select different guns, and later on the split screen co-op mode, where two players can play against each other. Both these modes are highly replayable, as there are tons of things to learn from each experience, and if you want to go back and play through the campaign again with more challenges, that's also available.
In my opinion, the gunz mode is the easiest one of the game to play, as it just involves selecting the right gunz for each person and don't need any downloads. But either way, playing GunZ is always an exciting experience, because it's free, and you can find many other people having a good time playing along at the same time. You'll see people shooting their butts off of trees, through the streets, all while you're trying to save their hide or stop an attack from another direction. Playing GunZ now is a lot of fun, because I always had a difficult time with the controls in the single player game, and I was having a horrible time getting a good kill when up against a stronger opponent. Thanks to the noob community, I now have a lot of friends playing the game, and they've even started to join in on the fun as well!
