09 Nov 2010 – Release Day: In a few words… Jaw dropping amazing! Full review to follow shortly as I attempt to fight through Call of Duty: Black Ops Single Player and take a dip into the Multiplayer Options…
Time: 13:10-15:07 – First 2 hours down and single player looks impressive, action all the way! Good looking visuals and stunning landscape views… Gritty storyline too with you starting the game strapped to a chair being interrogated about your history. This results in multiple flashbacks where you have to put together the pieces of what’s happening to you and work out the odd numbers flashing through your mind… The first few levels taking you on a mission to assassination Castro in Cuba, followed by a bloody break out of a russian prison camp and then a trip to the pentagon to meet up with President Nixon before taking on another acton packed mission…
I want to jump back into it, but another real life duty calls and I’m off food shopping… More later…
Time: 09:25 – Armed with a coffee I have a think back at last nights 3 hours gamplaying where I sneaked into a Russian base with a mission to stop the launch of a rocket with any means necessary, which basically meant blowing things up and frequent gun fights… a jump in the storyline dropped me into an intensely satisfying Vietnam level which will leave gunfire ringing in your ears for hours after… a thrust forward in the flashback time line and I’m leaping across the Hong Kong roof tops protecting a scientist from multiple enemies located in what random windows and street corners… another leap back to WW2 as a Russian launching a full assault onto a German arctic base…
Time to finish off the single player and leap into the multiplayer tonight, a full review will be posted here soon after 
Note: I went missing in action for days after my last post. Overall the game is excellent and the single player is long enough to keep your attention, before you explode onto the the multiplayer scene!
Score: 92%
