Call of Duty: Black Ops (2010 Video Game)
4/10
Not for Modern Warfare fans
20 November 2010
If you enjoyed COD MW and COD MW2 then do not buy this game. I bought this as I damaged my MW2 disc and thought this would be a great replacement - I was wrong. I don't play online, so cannot comment on this element of the game, so here's my summary:

Good points: - Graphics - Voice acting (Sam Worthington does a really good job) - Parts of the story are quite interesting (others are boring)

Bad points: - Zombies (the only co-operative option) is boring and lacks all the intensity of 'normal' play. There is no option to just play a "normal" level with a friend cooperatively.

  • You have to waiting a few minutes at the start of each level before you can actually shoot anything - the game forces you to walk around through the predefined sequences


  • There are too many scenes where your path is predefined and you just have to follow instructions that give the illusion of control (e.g. Press LT to break glass, press RT to punch - why am I doing this can you just get on with it please?). The "level" when you are a pilot is a joke - what's so difficult about moving the cursor to a point on the map and pressing "A"?


  • Poor choice of guns (does everything have to be an AK47?)


  • No mini-games. This was a great feature in MW2 and really good fun in both single player and co-operative mode


I'm going to sell it straight away and buy MW2 again!
