Russian President Vladimir Putin has given his review on the upcoming first-person-shooter game by Infinity Ward Call of Duty 4 : Modern Warfare.

How Putin received a copy of the game ahead of its slated November release date is mysterious, and some suspect that the Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation ( FSB ), which had its roots in the former KGB, had threatened Infinity Ward developers with a possible polonium injection ala Litvinenko.

Following the release of the above video by the Russian Foreign Ministry, Activision was disappointed that its single-player campaign only received a 2/10 rating by the Russian President. A statement released by the publisher read, “The storyline is absolutely plausible. The world is so chaotic today and the Russian Federation has done nothing to improve the situation by behaving so awkwardly and having a leader who seems to have been possessed by the spirit of Stalin.”

“President Putin, despite applauding the graphics, had failed to see the game mechanics which has made the single-player campaign so intense. We feel that he is just jealous that he was not featured as a character in the game, and the company is confident that COD 4 will be the best-selling game of 2007.”

Washington did not respond to Putin’s video but a spokesman for the Department of State said that President Bush was furious at not receiving a copy of the game and has refused to eat his vegetables in protest.
