Diehard GameFAN: Call of Duty Black Ops II (360) Review

DHGF: Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 retains the core essentials of its predecessors while adding in enough new elements to show that Treyarch wants to make more than just ‘the other Call of Duty games”, but for all the positives that come from wanting to change, the changes themselves will take some getting used to. The storyline is as fine as ever, though the addition of multiple endings is one that will certainly add life to the campaign, and the game looks and sounds as solid as its predecessors, relatively speaking. The game is easy to pick up and learn and fans should be able to jump right in immediately, but the addition of Strike Force missions in the campaign, coupled with a retuned multiplayer progression and customization system, as well as an expanded Zombies mode and League play, make this a much more impressive release than its direct predecessor. -
