Action man on LSD.

Spoilers are present in this review so avert our eyes if thats your jibber jabber.

Single Player.
Story - Simply put this is the worst story I've ever experienced in a game. It almost just goes blindly fumbling throgh an American history article of wikipedia with a roll of sticky tape. It's all set as an atempt to show of military hardware and big maho men screaming 'AMERICA!'. The story jumps from one event to the next with no logical reason, plot or conlusion and is potrayed in what can only be described as a drug trip.

Gameplay - As you may have ome to expect from COD it's a short compact campaign of linearity from point A to B. The action howver is intresting and somewhat varied. The difficulty modes provide a challenge for those intrested, athlough Veteran mode is just cheap and spams gernades.

Minigames - There are two hidden mingames within the gmae as easter eggs. I have to say Its a brilliant touch by Treyarch and hopefully its part of the returning culture of good easter eggs and include smaller games within a game.


Online
Multiplayer - The best COD multiplayer since Modern Warfare. It's been reblanced and the create a class system greatly improved with better dsigned maps and a wider variet of game modes especially in the wager match categories. I also like the theatre mode which seems to be becoming a staple in many games much to my pleasure. Its also much easier to join an invite people to games in this iteration.

Zombies - Absolutly brilliant fun with multiple maps and vast improved from W@W.

Trophies - If you finish it in veteran it should be a piece of cake. It does however have online trophies.

Overall 8.5/10 was it not for faults I disliked in the single player I would probably have scored it a 9.
If your just getting it for online I would recomend it, it's the first Cod I've prestiged in four years which shows my intrest compred to the last two.
