Story: I liked the story a lot in this game. It's really interesting to see a conspiracy theory plot roll out in a video game. However, it was still kinda predictable, but it was entertaining none the less. I give the story a 9/10
Gameplay: The gameplay has been the same ever since CoD 4, so it's the same ol' same ol', which can be a good thing if you love the fast-paced shooting. I do love the addition of diving to prone or "dolphin dives" in this game, though. I give the gameplay a 8/10
Controls: The controls, like the gameplay, have been the same for the most part, and you have plenty of options of how the control layout is. I like the default the best personally, as it is easy to use. I give controls a 10/10
Graphics: The graphics, like the above two, have also been the more or less the same. I have only really played World at War and Black Ops extensively enough to notice the graphics, and there is a jump, albeit a small one, between the two in terms of graphics. Besides, it looks at least somewhat nice and doesn't look like a last-gen game, so I'm happy with it. I give graphics a 8/10
Sound: The sound in Black Ops sounds pretty good, with some offbeat things here and there, but never enough to distract from the game. There isn't much more to say on this so I give sound a 9/10
Wow Factor: The Wow Factor in this game should go beyond 10. There are so many awesome things about this game, such as the thrilling campaign, the never-ending zombies action, and the multiplayer, now with added Combat Training so you can play MP with bots and pwn them XD But in all seriousness, this game has many things that were amaxing to me. I give the Wow Factor for this game a 10/10
Replay Value: The replay value for Black Ops is WAY too high lolz. The campaign won't last you long, but then you have got the multiplayer aspect of Black Ops. That alone should keep you going for a while. If MP ain't your thing, there is always zombies. The zombies mode has at least 10 maps last I checked (if you get all the DLC that is), so there is an endless amount of playing time and fun for you built into the game, even on just ONE map in zombies. I give the Replay Value a 10/10
Multiplayer Experience: I only played the MP of this game to get the Prestige Token for MW3, but the multiplayer in this game is actually quite good in my opinion. There isn't really any problems with campers, the maps are fun to play, you can use pretty much any gun in this game and still do at least half decent, and I just enjoyed playing it overall. There were some things however that I did not like about the MP, specifically how long it takes to get into a match, but the MP is still good despite that. I give the Multiplayer Experience a 9/10
Rent Or Buy This Game?: If you like to play zombies and/or multiplayer, this is a for sure buy. If you just want to get the trophies and be done with it, this might be a rent for you. I personally think it's worth 2 buys XD
Your Personal Verdict & Your Final Rating: This game is overall good and very fun and will last a long time in my long years of gaming ahead of me
I give this game a 9/10 overalll.
