The online multiplayer is the most robust part of the whole package, especially since there is no local multiplayer, and the online infrastructure is quite simply one of the most well-implemented modes on the system, easily besting The Conduit and last year's World at War. If you're not, well, there might be a reason why you avoided this game for two years.

If you managed to avoid this game for so long and you're a fan of squad-based shooters, you'll enjoy the campaign tremendously. Though there isn't anything added to it, so if you romped through the campaign sometime in the past two years in Call of Duty 4, there is nothing to experience here besides lesser graphics and Wii controls. The Campaign mode is reproduced in its entirety with all the set pieces from the original. While it still doesn't take the place of a full-on cooperative experience, the Squadmate mode is fun in its own right. Returning from World at War is the Squadmate mode, where a second player can hop in anytime with just a Wii Remote and become a pointer on the screen and shoot at enemies. You can also use the Wii Zapper, and there is a specific control scheme for that. The IR pointer works great, and you can change any action to whatever button you like.

The controls work well, using the Wii Remote and Nunchuk, and can be tweaked to your liking. Some parts of the game look good, but don't expect your headshots to look spectacular the blood that spews out is out-of-place and weird. Reflex reminds me of how the previous game looked: a bit soulless, but still impressive for the system. While James Jones didn't like the graphics in World at War, I thought they were alright from what I saw before the game's release. Graphically, it is not the same as the HD versions, but it is still a good-looking game, as it seems to make use of the modified engine Treyarch used for last year's Call of Duty: World at War on Wii. Luckily, the finished product is quite polished for a downgrade of a two-year-old game, and it is rather fitting that this heralded game is still one of the best first-person shooters on Wii despite how long it took to get to the system. With the exception of a few crummy screenshots, there wasn't much to go off of. There wasn't really any pre-release hype for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Reflex, Treyarch's Wii port of the highly regarded Call of Duty 4.
