“One of the best video games!”

★★★★☆

written by pkbros2277 on 04/02/2013

The good things: Call of Duty Black Ops is a incredible game in the Call of Duty series. With a hooking multiplayer and jaw dropping campaign, Black Ops grips the gamer into a world of fun and adventure. Both the multiplayer and campaign voices are incredible. The graphics are smooth, clear, and extraordinary. If you're a first person shooter fan your gonna love Black Ops. Many of the multiplayer maps are small, which creates close quarters gunfights for chaotic fun. New guns make black ops fun to play, whatever your game style may be. The bad things: Not to much really, if anything the game mechanics feel a bit old.

“black ops disappointment ”

★★☆☆☆

written by on 24/01/2013

i thought that call of duty black ops was a poor game, there was nothing new about it apart from a feature that no one enjoyed, and that was that not only do you have to get to a certain level to get a gun, you also have to have enough points, i don't know about you but i thought the only good and NEW feature was nuketown which is a great map but everything else was disappointing, this game was not worth the money i paid for it and i was disappointed by how bad this game was to modern warfare 2 which i played for hours on end. i suggest to not get this game, or the new black ops that came out.

“Great Game i enjoyed it”

★★★★☆

written by themaninthevan2001 on 04/01/2012

I have waited for this game for months and months, i have read and watched every bit of info there was on this game. I was still extremly excited. I was only scared of the hype and it turning out to be a flop like Call of duty world at war. So i went to the midnight release (Got there at 7:30pm). waited in line had an awesome time. Got the game and headed home. Took a deep breath and put the game in. Skipped all the intros and went straight to the multi player. It blow my mind, i wasn't disapointed in the slightest. I do admit there is somthing missing from mw2, little bit of magic missing, but i kepy playing and learned to love it. If you loved MW2, you will love this game, the graphics are great regardless of what other people are saying. I'm playing on a 42" HD lcd with a HDMI connection. it looks amazing, i have see someone playing the game on a 51 cm old crappy TV and the graphics where RUBBISH! Thats because your playing a modern day game on a rubbish tv. Only con i haave found about this game is the fact the leveling is easier than most. I got to level 32 with 10 hours of playing. But there is a lot of prestige goodies. So i'm going to keep playing. If you are looking for a great game that gets you off playing MW2 with over 500,000 players at any given time then you'll love this game.

“call of duty black ops zombies”

★★★★★

written by mightygames on 11/10/2011

Call of Duty Black Ops has zombies like World at War it is fun and extremely great quality but the darkness is a bit hard there are plenty of guns and eventually you can packapunch your gun which makes it stronger and some times puts attachments on the guns if when you get to round four i recommend opening top door because at round five or 6 you get dogs and the attack you and are hard to kill if u get the guns in either top or bottom door you will be right at the end of the round you get max ammo when you get to the stage and turn on the power go get jugg it makes you stronger which u definitely need it a effective way of killing the zombies is doing a train on the stage the mp40 is good for this if you run in a clockwise direction and doge them you will be right fo the round and as soon as you get 5000 go pacapunch something the best guns are HK,RPK,RAYGUN,THUNDERGUN,M16 and when you get up to the top make sure you get your gun because my brother forgot to and he go left with 1 gun which is hard so i hope this helps thanks for reading

“Great addicting game with lots of replay value”

★★★★☆

written by itoxicdemon on 30/07/2011

Call of duty:black ops had a lot to follow on from since the huge success of previous call of duty game modern warfare 2 which was the biggest selling game of all time. Black ops lived up to that expectation and became the biggest selling game of all time smashing the records that mw2 had made the previous year. So first of all lets talk about the campaign of black ops it is set in the 1950's to the early 60's during the vietnam war. The main character you will play as is mason who is a special force trained soldier, however you will play as various different soldiers as well. During the various missions of black ops you will be doing different operations such as becoming the pilot of an SR-71 blackbird to flying a helicopter through enemy territory and even breaking into secret enemy bases based in snowy territory and then skydiving of a cliff to escape enemy clutches. Overall the campaign is great fun and has a nice ending however the campaign is not what most people buy call of duty for. Moving onto the multiplayer which is the main aspect of call of duty, Treyarch have really stepped up with black ops multiplayer including all new customization,killstreaks,guns,wager matches and the whole new system of cod points which you use to purchase new guns,killstreaks ect.the multiplayer on a whole is great fun and very addicting however after a few months of playing it, it can feel a little repetitive. When you have completed the campaign and burned out the mulitplayer there is another mode which treyarch have brought back from world at war, it is of course the fantastic zombie mode this mode is the thing that makes black ops such an overall great game, it is highly addictive and a great thing to play with a few mates in the evening when you have a few hours to spare. Also with lots of dlc (downloadable content) coming out for the game including more zombie maps and also more multiplayer maps, this game is bound to keep you entertained for at least a good 6 months and i would recommend it to anyone.

★★★★★

written by chloesoldman on 09/07/2011

Never been into heavy gaming untill c.o.d Black Ops came out, What a fantastic game, graphics are great, game play also, online play is great fun although can be annoying sometimes, (getting kicked from games ect) Not the games fault though..... Not into Zombies myself but the arcade mode takes me back to my childhood, LUVVIT!!!! new map packs to keep your interest, could do with some more guns though, and a few other greandes........ Cant wait for MW3 Now..... not long to go.

“COD:BO”

★★★☆☆

written by zackevans on 22/06/2011

Well this is a very good game in the beginning and it still is. Although after you play it for a little while you slowly start to get really bored. I got this game when it first came out and I was very excited because of all the hipe about it and it was really good. The only thing is the graphics, I personally thought that Modern Warfare 2 had better graphics. Gameplay is really good the campaign wasn't that great because I felt that it could have been longer. I loved the Modern Warfare 2's campaign! It was awesome! I usually don't even play the campaigns but I thought it would be as good as MW2's but it was a really big let down. The new zombie maps were really good I actually got the first strike map pack and I felt that it was "awesome". I liked the credit system too. Unlike MW2 where you have to level and do certain things to unlock like new scopes you can actually buy the new scopes. Multiplayer is really great too. I really loved the Multiplayer on the game. Its still in many ways the same to like say MW2 but with some new cool features. Well thats my Review, Zack Evans

“GET TO THE CHOPPA! ”

★★★★☆

written by IconicChipmunk on 31/01/2011

GET TO THE CHOPPA!

That's right, Call of Duty Black Ops is back with a whole different story, new characters, new twist and turns that will make you sream in confusion. as well as the all new "Zombies" Feature you may find your self playing it for hours on end.

-STORY-

After playing through the game first which i broke down into parts since i was being bugged by everyone on Xbo Live to play on the multiplayer feature. I found the story very compelling and easy to follow with the great soundtrack to follow my killing spree with a range of different guns and vehicles it was great. I still havent found all of the "INTEL" peices but once i do replay the game again im going to go through slowly aside from my habit of getting the game over and done with.

-ZOMBIES-

Oh i love the smell of brains in the morning! Well i was glad to find that Black Ops had finnally encorperated Zombies into there game where as in games like "World At War" where you had to complete the game to unlock it, or something tedious like that. There are at the moment only two levels i beleive on the Zombie gameplay each level with its own perks and fun areas. For me on the first level when you actually turn the power on a purely amzaing metal track comes on which is so much fun, i recieved a hint from a friend of mine that once you teleport you may or may not find yourself in a strange room before the "Pack A Punch "room apears if you search the room you finds youself in you may or may not find a film canister take it and put it in the film projector if you find si something happens of course i have yet to find what this is. The other level is with president JFK which is purely hilarious and i have yet to get past level 9 on my own. But on the 1st of Feburary a new map pack called "First Strike" will be arriving to the xbox live marketplace as well as a new map for zombies.

-mutiplayer-

Will the hackers ever stop?! I thourougly enjoy multiplayer as you can interact with friends complete chalenges and try different weapons. the care pakcage hack has been refound by some silly people and some others have created custom games with Halo type speed which really kills your eyes Overall its fun.

-overview-

I highly recomened this game i play it most nights and will probably continue to do so untill another game comes out that i want at the moment it is "BulletStorm" more reviews to come including kinect games.

“I have played all of the COD titles over the years and...”

★☆☆☆☆

written by on 04/01/2011

I have played all of the COD titles over the years and have loved the franchise until the release of this one. I played MW2 for over a year and still do, so that is testament to infinity wards ability off making a good COD game, however, Black Ops is horrible in almost every way.

Single player: The campaign is very good but also very short, I completed it in 4 hours 30ish min's they have drafted in some famous voices for the game, but this seems to be were the money went on the development.

Multi-player: This is absolutely terrible. Treyarch have brought back dedicated servers and the lag is unforgivable, the hit detection is the worst of any of the COD titles and the spawn locations are shocking as well. You can kill someone and have them spawn right behind you not just once in a match but lots of times. Activision have obviously spent very little on making this game but are making an absolute fortune from the gamers who have played previous COD games and are buying it off the back of titles like COD Modern Warfare and COD Modern Warfare 2.

I would not recommend this game to anyone, and at very least would advise on hiring it first so you don't loose your money of you don't like it.

Hope this helps.
