[Gaming Evolution] Call of Duty: Black Ops II Review

This is a first-person shooter in which players control U.S. soldiers tasked with preventing an imminent terrorist attack. Players complete military mission objectives during the Cold War and in modern-day international locations (e.g., United States, Haiti, Afghanistan). Players use a litany of weapons at their disposal to contain global conflicts that can ultimately affect the future of all mankind. 9.5/10

How can you give a PS3 reviewed game such a high rating when it has some very basic but frustrating flaws such as 1>the mic audio set to all on by default so you have to either turn it off at the game menu at each map rotation OR put up with some ppl making stupid noises etc, some talking in foreign languages till the map has loaded then mess around in menus muting each player 2> the host has a huge amount of lag compensation added so ends up worse of than all the other players 3> after patch 1.02 image quality was lowered and blurvision anti-aliasing added.

Black Ops 2 maybe a good game on the 360 and PC but the PS3 version has not had the same attention to detail and is an inferior product by comparison.

If the PC/360 gets a 9.5/10 then the PS3 gets, as it stands, a 7/10

I welcome your feedback on our article, however you must remember that a lot of the problems that are faced with the various versions of the game are not experienced by all players. The game is not perfect, but the experience we got from the game resulted in the score it was given. The same could be said about Skyrim. Lots of technical problems, but not experienced by all.

Issues we had with the game were mentioned within the article, but that doesn't take away from the overall wealth of content and how it compares to previous installments within the series.
