The original black ops , this installment truly felt like a interesting fresh take on the call of duty formula. The game felt like a spy thriller in many ways, the big reveal at the end was hinted at expertly and the gameplay reallyput you in the mind of alex mason.
As always, the story needed a complementary soundtrack and the music works really well with the scenes on play. Ofcourse RIP soundtrack from world of war was my favourite.
On that note , the characters were very memorable. Woods had a traditional personality for these games but alex and his fucked up mind was intriguing. His handler and weaver were memorable and so was the british scientist for that one mission. And victor reznov , talk about a memorable character.
I have some minor concerns like how npcs can block you and will be extra slow in follow missions etc but nothing that took the enjoyment away.
Black ops 1 and 2 are the exact kind of games and stories you want from a call of duty franchise installment and black ops 1 specifically builds on world at war and sets up black ops 2 expertly.
Totally worth a try even to this day !
