    Call of Duty: Black Ops II is a sequel done right. This game is better than the previous one in my opinion. The story builds on the story of the previous game and brings back old characters with new ones and the new ones are just as memorable. The gameplay is the same as previously as well as the multiplayer. The zombies mode has improved over the last one though. In the end, if you likedCall of Duty: Black Ops II is a sequel done right.

    Best cod ever. Amazing multiplayer with good weapons and good maps. The zombie mode is amazing with 3 very interesting maps. The campaing mode is very good. Conclusion: It's a good game, in my opinion, the best cod.

    First COD I played. Did not give a **** about the story to be honest. Did not play the story to be honest. Multiplayer though is great though. So fast so much action. And 4-Player Splitscreen?! WOW. Had so much fun with friends and this game. And there was this Zombie-Mode, which was absolute awesome. I would have bought that game if there was only this Zombie-Mode.

    This campaign is way ahead of any Call of Duty. You can make chooses to decide the end. Your every single decision matter. What a campaign. Unfortunately, the story cant matches up with Modern Warfare 2 and Black Ops.

    Black Ops II was fine. Multiplayer had solid map design, and good gunplay. The campaign and Zombies were cool and a welcome part of the title.

    This is definitely my favorite COD...I don't know why everyone hated this game, telling everyone that this game is nothing special, but it is. Most of the bad reviews seem like they haven't even played the game. But now a days it's got some hackers, which is sad. I would really love if this got a remaster in the future

    Uno de los mejores shooters de la Play, sigue teniendo una historia potente y una jugabilidad exquisita aunque aquí ya se empieza a notar cierto estancamiento de la saga Call of Duty que ya se empezaba a intuir en la primera parte y que se confirmaría al año siguiente con "Ghosts". Tendríamos que esperar casi siete años hasta su resurrección definitiva.

    Multiplayer: Although I didn’t play much of multiplayer back when it first came out, I did after DLC 3 dropped and damn I wished I played this earlier. I wish there wasn’t cheaters in games nowadays because this would still be an absolute blast to play. The maps are fun and some of the best.

I wish there wasn’t cheaters in games nowadays because this would still be an absolute blast to play. The maps are fun and some of the best. Every cod fan could probably name at least 5 of the maps on this game, and if not the most memorable one, Hijacked. The best Multiplayer which sadly no cod has captured since.

    Zombies: Well this was extremely controversial when it first released with the “worst” map ever Tranzit. I never understood all the hate towards this map but I do now. I don’t think this is the worst map but completing the EE or unlocking PAP is tedious. If you play with friends though, damn this is extremely fun and a lot of zombies players will have those nostalgic moments like surviving on the bus or knifing Ted till he kicks you off. Anyway on to the next map Die Rise another controversial and hated map, I can see why, jumping jacks, falling to your death and the elevators….. yeah not much to say on this map. The next three though where fan favourites and absolute classics, Buried, Mob of the Dead and Origins, to me these where the saving point for zombies and if it wasn’t for these maps, I truely believe zombies would of ended after Bo2.

    Campaign: Wow innovation to the finest to the cod franchise. Multiple choices that lead to multiple endings (never seen in another cod game back then and to this day). New and old characters mixed in to make the story all the more interesting to fold out and make an emotional investment in for the characters. Choosing your weapons before the mission starts. A new villain Menendez who has an interesting rise to power. Two different time periods to explain the story better, so much pros and very few cons to the best cod campaign ever.

    This is the one of few cods I want to see remastered and love jumping back in every few months to make me remember how good the call of duty’s where made and polished, which we sadly don’t see anymore.    … Expand

    Campaign only review.
    Story is interesting, it has few plotholes but still its good. Gameplay is excelent. Lot of guns and modifications.
    Excelent sound effects, i mean this honestly. Especialy guns sounds awesome with silencer. Thats why i played with it in every mission. Characters are interesting in same way as story. However i liked more story missions in past than in "present".    Campaign only review.

    Level designs are excelent and whole game looks beautifully.

    Surprise in the end after credits with Avenged Sevenfold surprised me in such a good way.

    Im going to give this game 8/10. Its a good CoD Game (i played SP only).    … Expand

    Very good game, the campaign is my favorite out of all the Call of Duty games, I wish I could play it again. I don't remember playing the multiplayer, but I loved the zombies, me and my cousins played it a lot, even though the only played tranzit, it was very fun.
    I would really like if there was a remaster of this game for current-gen consoles.

    Black ops 2 deliveries a captivating story mode, a good zombies experience, and a fun enough multiplayer. It stands as a solid installment of the black ops series, not exceeding or failing in any category. I had a lot of fun with this game.

    El mejor Call of duty de todos, un multijugador super divertido, mapas excepcionales como Hijacked y Nuketown; el modo zombies es hermoso y más si juegas con amigos que es una pasada, super recomendable

    É um jogo com uma jogabilidade boa,com uma campanha interessante e um modo zombies e o modo multiplayer muito divertidos possui uma diversidade de armas legal, sendo o seu maior problema a quantidade de hackers que o jogo possui.

    Eu não entendi essa crítica especializada cara, o jogo está cheio de defeitos estrondosos, um deles é que , dependendo, a porra do jogo não funciona se você estiver com a PSN ligada, wtf, o jogo também tem o defeito dos inimigos serem extremamente burros, os gráficos são aceitáveis e a jogabilidade é normal.

    E a dublagem cara nossa... As vozes são boas porém ela fica aumentando e    Eu não entendi essa crítica especializada cara, o jogo está cheio de defeitos estrondosos, um deles é que , dependendo, a porra do jogo não funciona se você estiver com a PSN ligada, wtf, o jogo também tem o defeito dos inimigos serem extremamente burros, os gráficos são aceitáveis e a jogabilidade é normal.

    One of the most complete, albeit shaky, packages the series has ever seen. [Issue#226, p.68]

    While the campaign length is fairly standard of past iterations of the series, it's worth multiple playthroughs and the multiplayer offers endless hours of fun and enjoyment; whether it's slaying zombies or facing off against other players in a wide range of multiplayer modes with an endless number of loadout combinations.
