Call of Duty: Black Ops

Another Bland Call of Duty

I really only have a little to say about the game since it really doesn't offer much. The campaign is ridiculously short and again indicative of the laziness of devs to put in a serious single player campaign. Everything has been done before here, do not believe the hype. There is not one original or high quality scenario in this game. If you have played Modern Warfare 2 or any recent FPS, you already know what to expect. Weak AI, Linear levels and nothing but scripted events to drive you along on what is basically a pretty rail shooter.

So multiplayer must be where it is at right? Nope. They did take care of some of the glaring problems in the multiplayer like quick scoping and the like but it is still a glitch filled nightmare. I am amazed that people spend money to buy the same old crappy game with the same old tacked on multiplayer. Even worse that these game sites hype these games, knowing that they are nothing special at all.

So if you want more of the same, go ahead and buy this game. For the serious gamer, this is just a joke. There are other games out there that are well worth the money. I just can't justify telling people to buy a game that has a weak and short single player campaign and the same old thing for multiplayer. Go buy Fallout: New Vegas or something with more depth, this is not it.
