When I play the COD games, this one is one of the ones I'm not too thrilled with...

I'm sure I pissed a LOT of people off with that headline but I have good reason to think so... Or at least I consider it good reason, and it's MY website so MY opinion is the one that matters!

Storywise, the game starts out with you in a torture room being interrogated by an unknown shadowy figure who you can't make out his identity... Yet he has no accent... And is speaking perfect English. *cough cough* American. *cough cough* CIA. *cough cough* 007 wannabe. *cough cough* Anyone got a freakin' ricola? Well, the player ALSO speaks perfect English without any accent so either A: You play a double agent. B: You play some brainwashed assassin dude. C: Both. Oh! The game hasn't really started yet, they give you this strong hint at the opening cinematic as well as the main menu.

The first level reveals your this spy sent into Cuba to assassinate Fidel Castro during the Bay Of Pigs invasion. Well... You fail. And you are the only one that gets captured. The Cuban dictator decides to hand you over to his Russian allies who promptly stick you in a prison where you meet a character from previous game in the series, Viktor Reznov from World At War. You escape after a well planned scheme hatched by Reznov. Which includes, I shit you not, a motorcycle chase which seems taken outta Terminator with it's lever action shotgun and all...

"My mission is programmed by the Human resistance of 2029: Go back in time, fail terminating Fidel Castro, purposely cause havoc in Vietnam, and party like it's 1969." - Terminator

So yeah, later on the game you go to Vietnam, meet JFK (Which actually that was pretty cool), discover some chemical weapon the Nazis made in World War 2, Reznov keeps randomly showing up at the most random of times (A clue of brainwashing), the main character keeps remembering numbers (Another clue of brainwashing), you get to fly a Helicopter (Without much freedom, but kinda cool regardless), stopping the use of the chemical weapons, etc. etc. Blah blah blah.

If that was the entire game I'd flat out give it 2 outta 5 but wait, there's also Zombies mode! Why Call Of Duty, a series well known for their attempt at realistic war, thrown in an arcade style Zombies mini game I do not know but it's there.

Despite the senselessness and unimportant feature that is Zombies mode, it is pretty fun and would be enough to give it a 3 out of 5... WOULD be enough if the bastards decided to add more than a single level in the Wii version! But noooooooooooooooo... The creators only care about PC, PS3, and Xbox 360 gamers. Thanks a lot! For that, Black Ops gets only 2 rotting Zombie skulls from Vietnam out of 5.
