A polished refinement of the Call of Duty formula, offers a bevy of content that covers almost every expected base, single-player campaign is satisfying, multiplayer has enough depth to keep fans engaged for a long time
The single-player plot can be clumsy at times and they still haven't completely eliminated those taxing moments where you have to throw lives away just to reach a specific checkpoint (they are relatively rare this time around though)
It's difficult not to call Black Ops the 'best Call of Duty ever' simply because it's the ultimate refinement of the franchise formula. With an interesting single-player narrative and a multiplayer component brimming over with content, it's an easy recomm...

Tons of multiplayer additions; strong story with memorable characters; wager matches are a blast; Theater mode; Call of Duty fans will continue to love it.

Abstract: Call of Duty games have always been about moments; whether they're ones you create in multiplayer (such as the first time you drop a Predator Missile onto a cluster of fools), or crafted moments in the single-player campaign. Scripted moments like the ...
Thrilling variety throughout campaign, Fractured story creates an intriguing atmosphere, New multiplayer currency system is invigorating, Combat training lets anyone enjoy multiplayer excitement, Theater lets you share and enjoy triumphs and failures.

It’s a pity the single-player just doesn’t achieve the same heights we’ve seen from the series in the past, but little matter. It’s the multiplayer that’s important now. That’s were Call Of Duty excels, and that’s what we’re going to be playing until I...
Abstract: Treyarch continues their excellence with the series.War. War never changes. Well at least it doesn't in Activision's universe. Back in 2007 the way we played first person shooters was changed forever (especially mulitplayer). What Infinity Ward did to ...
Abstract: Treyarch has always played second fiddle to Infinity Ward’s Call of Duty titles. All of Treyarch’s previous efforts have seen the series play out in various World War II theatres, but Black Ops is a change of scenery and is easily the best ...

For me, Black Ops' Zombies mode single-handedly justifies the steep retail price - which some retailers are discounting - let alone its campaign mode. But if you're seeking more bang for your buck, don't fear, Black Ops' not only ranks as this year's most...
