Review: Call of Duty: Black Ops on the Xbox 360 photo

Yesterday, we reviewed the PC version of Call of Duty: Black Ops, awarding it a 6/10 thanks to a completely broken online experience that proved detrimental to the most important half of any Call of Duty product. In fact, it was only the superbly high quality of the single-player that gave this game as high a score as it got.

Naturally, some people were upset. Despite the fact that the game ought to be consistent on all platforms, some people were angry that we reviewed the game "wrong" by not playing it on the Xbox 360. So, with that in mind, we have re-reviewed the game for consoles. A 360 copy arrived this morning and I dove right into the multiplayer.

Read on for our full re-review!

Score: 11/10!

Haha.

My friend brought over the PS3 version last night and we played Team Deathmatch for a bit. We got disconnected a couple of times, but it didn't feel like it happened more often than when I used to play MW2. Maybe we were just playing at one of those lucky times where everything was working properly.

HOLY FUCKING SHIT I MUST GO BUY THIS GAME RIGHT AWAY.

Nice one though. I get the impression that it's due to server overloading, so it's too popular for it's own good. As if we didn't know that already.

Awesome. Personally I think the single player is trash as well. I hate the cheap ass tactics the CoD games have started to resort to in order to fake difficulty.
