First-person view and adrenaline: from single-player to multiplayer, the FPS is one of the flagship genres of modern gaming. RomWize re-ranks the best games in the genre by its re-evaluated scores, each with its current score, its versions, their rarity and their collector value.
"Call of Duty Black Ops is one of the best CoDs with a paranoid Cold War campaign and a multiplayer that redefined standards. Mythical Zombies mode, twisting story. A saga peak."
"The port is a technical miracle: this hyperfast shooter runs at 60 frames on Switch without betraying its choreography of violence. Visually trimmed, but the combat stays that lethal dance of chainsaw, flamethrower and glory kills."
"Gearbox invent the looter shooter on dusty Pandora with cheeky frat-house humour. The first Borderlands feels rough at times but lays down a devilish formula, and farming the perfect rocket launcher with four pals is era-defining bliss."
"Sledgehammer juice Call of Duty back up with the exo-suit and boosted jumps. The Kevin Spacey led campaign owns its blockbuster instincts, multiplayer gains real verticality, and the whole thing is a great unapologetic action ride."
"Call of Duty World at War is the darkest and most brutal WWII CoD. Intense Pacific and Eastern Front campaign, Zombies mode launched here for the first time. Founder of a major saga pillar."
"Conclusion of the Prime trilogy, first Wii-native release with Wiimote controls from the ground up. Samus joins an interplanetary war against Phazon, equipped with a dangerous but powerful Hyper Mode. Multiple planets to explore, personal mobile ship, more present narration. Wiimote aiming precise and natural, combat fluid, exploration still brilliant. Trilogy peak for many, epic finale."
"Borderlands 2 GOTY is the most complete version of one of the best looter-shooters with all major DLC included. Additional campaigns, extra characters, staggering total content. The reference."
"Epic Games port Unreal Tournament III to 360 with a snappy arena FPS and a promising vehicle mode. The community stays less active than on PC but pad shooting works well, and it is a rare chance for console players to experience Unreal multiplayer in a living-room setting with a few friends."
"Borderlands 2 perfects the recipe to near mythical heights with Handsome Jack, one of gaming's finest villains. The loot is addictive, the writing crackles, and four-player co-op still produces legendary nights today."
"BF3 punches hard on 360 despite the technical concessions, with massive maps and a Frostbite 2 that absolutely sings. The campaign has moments of real spectacle and the multiplayer remains a benchmark of large scale military shooting."
