The Games review: Call of Duty: Black ops






The single player mode is quite straight forward and is a continuation of the CoD series. However the multi player mode has a lot of new developments for example you have the ability to customise everything from the combat gear for the soldiers to the equipment they use, the kill-streaks have changed too. There are also more multiplayer modes available. In this game, there are more ways of building up your XP (In-game credit). The game looks and plays similar to world at war but also has the attributes of modern warfare. It’s like a fusion of the two games!  You’ve got the modern day sophisticated weapons such as TV guided missiles, radio controlled cars strapped with explosives and stealth planes. Set against the backdrop of Classic conflicts such as Vietnam, World War 2, Cuban Missile crisis, and the various sub plots of the cold war although no war actually took place back then. These include seeking and destroying spies that were posted behind enemy lines parts of the world. Governments of today deny these ever taking place, hence the title. There are other Shoot’em up games out such as Medal of Honour Tier1 operator, Battle field bad company 2, and Mag (Play station 3 only) but are more team based. They are more to do with objectives that can only be accomplished by working as a team. They are also more realistic in terms of how you engage your opponent. Where as with CoD it’s more personal and more to do with stacking up on kills and collecting rewards for it. If you don’t know what you’re doing on CoD you may find it a bit tedious as it is a fast paced game. CoD gets the prize because there is more excitement in the game play. The story mode has Bench mark levels as standard with the CoD series.
