Brilliant game!

User Rating: 9.5 | Call of Duty: Black Ops II WIIU
While I enjoyed my time playing Black Ops on the Nintendo Wii, graphically the game wasn't as good as it's 360 counterpart and some important things were missing.

Two years later we get Black Ops II which surpasses the original game by a fair margin. It's worth noting that it's the third game of this particular spin-off (the previous games being World At War and Black Ops). Graphically this game can compete with it's 360 counterpart and even has some unique features which I will explain in more detail.

One of the major differences is the way the game works with the Wii U Gamepad. It is possible to play the entire game using the Gamepad alone without looking at the TV. You can also do local co-op by giving one player a Wii Remote while the other uses the Gamepad. This is brilliant for Combat Training or Zombies mode as being able to talk to your friend in the same room is a great bonus.

Instead of killstreaks you now have 'scorestreaks' which are awarded to those who earn points, including assist kills and completing mission objectives. There are a wide range of scorestreaks including a pack of dogs, flying robots, bombers and more.

The new class customisation system called 'Pick 10' is brilliant because you can decide between lots of perks, lots of grenades, lots of weapon attachments or anything inbetween. As you level up your character you earn more perks and guns which is always a nice touch.

Zombies mode has several new maps, including one in which you hop onboard a bus and travel down the road, be warned though if you don't get back on the bus it will leave without you!

Campaign mode is great and works as a continuation to the previous game's story. This game is set both in the near future of 2025 and the 80s, starring Alex Mason and Mason's son. Some fantastic voice acting and great set-pieces make this a fantastic interactive experience.

Overall this is a fantastic game and the online multiplayer is worth the price of the game on it's own, everything else is just icing on the very tasty cake.
