The Bottom Line:

"Solid"

Graphics: 10/10 As with all of the Call of Duty games since World at War and Modern Warfare, the graphics are very clean and solid-- the animation is smooth and the lighting is good. There is no hint of screen tearing and very few graphical inconsistencies.

Sound: 10/10 The game has good weapons sounds, a good futuristic soundtrack during the future missions, and the voice talents of Sam Worthington and Michael Rooker add to the game's story and overall sound.

Control: 10/10 As one reviewer said, this is a Call of Duty games. There are no control issues to be had.

Content: 8/10 My only complaint about the content of the game is that the campaign could have been longer. Other than that, the game has an engaging story and a fascinating main antagonist. References to the current real-world time period are found during the future missions. The characters from the original Black Ops game make a welcome return, and it's interesting to see their stories unfold during the rest of the Cold War beyond Vietnam. The story from the past ties in nicely with the future. The future missions feature some really cool gadgets, weapons, and characters. Overall, Treyarch has given us another solid entry in the Call of Duty series.
