Review {Call Of Duty – Black Ops}

Hi there ladies and gents, today I will be reviewing the game Call Of Duty – Black Ops. Yes I realize its been out a while and most of you may of played or even just seen it here and there but that’s because the Call Of Duty range is well known and well liked by the majority of gamers. Well let’s start with a look at the campaign, we start off in a room and the character is tied to the chair you’re sat in with voices over the intercom it gives an interrogation effect, using this interrogation viewpoint it takes your character through the whole story via flashbacks which you actually play through. Personally I prefer a free roam story but with this type of game I suppose a simple story is needed to help guide the player through it. Overall graphics are ok maybe a 8/10 and most movements within the game are smooth.

The Multiplayer is a whole different story it offers a wide variety of game play options from normal Team Death match which is just team vs team or a whole set of objective based games like headquarters for example which is just capture and hold a location for longer then the other team, there are also hardcore versions of most game types (less bullets required to kill someone – not for the guys and girls who rage and dying easily :P ). In my opinion I prefer Hardcore as it gives more of a challenge to stay alive and gives a more real life perspective if you get shot it will hurt and get a few bullets chances are it will kill you.

Like with Call of Duty – World at War they have brought back Zombie mode which is basically defend yourself against waves of zombies and get points for killing them which in turn you buy on weapons and perks to help you achieve more kills and give you a fighting chance.

Overall I think it’s a game well worth trying and making your own opinions about, but based on my own experiences with it and many hours spent killing the newbie’s on it I think it’s a decent game, 8/10.
