Call of duty:Black ops review


Black Ops is known by pretty much everyone be them a fan or not. It is one of the biggest hyped games in history. But does it live up to the hype. Well let me just start off by saying that it’s almost impossible for any game to live up to the hype that was associated with this game, but saying that this game is a damn good game.

The story in Black ops was surprisingly deep and was something I was not expecting from this franchise. For me I personally liked the story and it is perhaps the best in the Call of Duty franchise. The graphics in the game are very good and the locations look great and are well-varied. The character models in the game are especially exceptionally well-done. The game play in black ops is fun and is easy to use. Pretty much anyone can pick up the game and play. One thing I especially like in this game is the ability to dive. I think this is a great addition to the game play and to be honest there is few things that feel better than diving out a window landing in front of an enemy and shooting him in the head. It is quite an experience and really makes you feel like badass special ops solider :). Now we move onto the sound. Let me just say the sound of the guns are spot on and sound great, the voice actors also did a very good job in this game particular mason and woods voice actors who I taught both did an outstanding job voicing these characters.

Bad aspects of the game: Okay one thing that I didn’t find too bad but expected better from was the games ending. It was good but I was really expecting more especially when nearly the rest of the story built up to it very well. Another thing is that the ending is kind of predictable, I was able to guess a main part of the third and final section of the game, and even though I was expecting more it still kept my interest.


Good aspects of the game: there is a lot good about this game. Probably the best part about this game is the multiplayer. It is a huge multiplayer. Activision really outdid themselves with the amount of customisation options available to the player once they reach a certain level. These can range from changing the colour of your lens to changing the shape of your red dot sight and so much more. There is also a twist in the story which I found to be a good twist and really surprised me. Some people might not like it but then other people will, so I guess it’s a love/hate twist. Whether you like or not has a good chance of making or breaking the story for you. Even if you have no interest in the story the missions are awesome and are full of action and exciting set pieces.

Story-8: The story is interesting, has great set pieces and is something new for the call of duty series.

Graphics-9: The Graphics in this game are very good and the guns look very detailed along with the character models and the locations are varied and nice to look at and play through.

Gameplay-10: The game play is easy to play and makes the game a lot of fun to play, the new dive ability also adds a little bit more fun to the overall experience.

Sound-10: The sound is excellent in this game, from the sound of the guns firing to the great voice-acting.

Enjoyment-9: I really enjoyed this game. The game play is excellent, the sound is a joy to listen to, the graphics are nice to look at, has addicting and rewarding multiplayer and the story is an exciting ride and a deep and interesting one as well :):).


Final comment: Overall Black ops is a extremely fun experience and is one no shooting fan should miss. It is a very strong contender for best shooting game on both the ps3 and 360 and is one people will be playing for a long time to come:).




Final Score- 9.2/10
Recommendation- Must Buy
