Call Of Duty: Black Ops II

Gameplay is rather predictable... story is quite unintelligible (even with flashbacks)...

Borrows a lot of ideas from other titles like MoH, but executes them badly...

Cut scenes are nicely done though, with great textures on characters faces.

Pseudo 'x-ray' sights are tad tacky too in 2025 mode.

Nice to see 1080 upscale

Why does he put his sunglasses on on load screen?

Overall, this game is only the second game I've owned that COMPLETELY crashes my PS3 - requiring a system rebuild / diagnostic...

Time to get some decent scriptwriters in, and come up with something original.

by far the worst call of duty ever. black ops 1 was bad this 1 is terrible. i wish i never bought it. should have waited for sniper: ghost warrior 2. treyarch needs to up there game as infinity ward beats them hands down. black ops 3 would be a huge mistake if even thought about never mind made. roll on modern warfare 4

A disappointing campaign, left me wondering where it was going with the multiplayer...again, even more disappointment...don't waste your money!

The campaign is really good worth playing over again and again, strike force missions can get frustrating and i'm not keen on them being mixed in with the campaign. Graphics have definitely improved since the 1st one and weapons audio sound good but not great. Multiplayer is similar to MW3 but not as bad. Maps seem decent and the customization is still there but you have to rank up to unlock emblems i wasn't keen at first but it gives you a reason to play and rank up your weapon. I'm getting used to the layout now and have enjoyed it apart from bad lag and freezing issues. Zombies seems good but haven't it fully yet just nuketown. Black ops II is worth a go if you were a fan of the first but multiplayer is set in the future which means no maps or weapons are available like in the first black ops but makes a change. Overall Black ops II is a great game with a excellent campaign maybe one of the best. Multiplayer is still good but still room for improvement.

Don't listen to the people who say it's no good. The weapons are best ever, as are the levels. I'm not a fan of the zombies so I if Avnet even looked at them in this game so can't comment on it this time but I have played campaign. It's brilliant. And multiplayer is the best ever. I have had the mw2 b ops 1 and mw3 and this one beats them all!!

Buy it now!!!!!

I pre ordered this cod as I have done with all of the cod games and I have decided that this will be the last for me. The cod series peaked at mw2, I wouldn't say it's gone downhill there has just been very little change, it just seems like they are adding new maps and selling them off at 40-50 pounds. I really hope they bring out a world at war 2 when there were tanks and big maps.
Why don't they put in vehicles anymore it use to be so much fun as everyone raced over to jump in a tank and try to mow down the other team it made the game if online with friends. it was so good having one driving and one on the machine gun, but now they just run out the same game year after year with different maps and slightly different kill streaks which really do the same as they always have. Can we blame them for doing this though? The answer is No we are the ones who preorder and buy the game even though we complain that nothing changes they are cashing in on our inability to make a stand and say we won't buy it unless you put in real changes. I shall however not preorder anymore and wait to see if there are any changes making it worthwhile to purchase. And that's another thing the price keeps going up on maps and the game and elite is just another way of getting more cash out of us. Stop ripping us off and actually put some work into the next cod title.

I'm sorry but this COD is amazing!! if it crashes i'm sorry to say it will be your console not the game! the online is also amazing its basically like the first black ops, Zombies is soo good aswell, the map is soo big and its really good! This COD is ten times better than MW3, now that game was awful!!! Black ops 2 is a good game so if i was you i would get it! 5 stars for me!

we bought this for our son for christmas is was going to be the best present ever! it wasnt ! after loaded the playstation crashed many tears were had we then had to download a "patch" he got the game back online but continued to crash every 20 mins eventually the PS3 gave up and died !!! The game cost me 44 pounds to pre order with maps - we got 50 for trading all of his PS3 games including black ops 2 and had to put this towards an XBOX!!! (the dark side according to our son) - what a bitter disappointment - thank you SONY and merry christmas !

A ridiculously short campaign mode left me feeling like I'd thrown forty quid away. What is there is good but I finished it very quickly. So disappointing.

Compared to other COD games this has o be the worst - the missions didn't make sense and the game was short, maybe because it has to much video footage between missions explaining the story - why don't they ditch all of that and make the game longer - next time I will rent first before wasting 42 pounds and then being offered 15 pounds to trade - no doubt their will be cod enthusiasts who will disagree with my comments - go for battlefield 3 or assassins creed 3 instead
