Same stuff all over again. Activision is milking the Call of Duty series releasing game after game just for money.

By okandjo | Review Date:
Call of Duty: Black Ops, was one of the big games this year. Another Call of Duty series right after Modern Warfare 2 sold so well. However, once again, Activision disappoints me, selling the exact same game with hardly any changes.

GRAPHICS
---------------
Good graphics, but I could not see much difference from the past games. Guns look the same, characters look the same, scenery, buildings, etc...

It seems as if (and I would not be surprised) if Activision has been using the same engine for the past 3 games and have just repackaged the same game with different campaigns and features. Which leads us to plot.

PLOT
--------
This is where CoD:MW2 really made it worth the time for me. I found the plot in the past Call of Duty games quite interesting although surely not the most original plots. However, the plot in Black Ops 2 is pretty bad. Annoying to say the least.

GAMEPLAY
------------------
Same old. No difference other than different guns, vehicles, helicopters and planes. Disappointing.


I cannot rate this low as it is a good game overall. However, having played the past call of duty's I would not recommend anyone to buy this game as it's just the same thing repackaged.

8/10
