Call of Duty: Black Ops - the critics seem to love it

Call of Duty: Black Ops 

You may have noticed that a game called Call of Duty: Black Ops was released yesterday. We did the odd article on it. Best of all was Keith's review which gave the game 5/5. But how did the rest of the media rate the game?

Very well actually. As you can see below Black Ops has reviewed consistently well across the board although some have questioned the originality of the single player game. Anyway, here is a selection of reviews and quotes..

The Guardian - 5/5
Call of Duty: Black Ops quite probably represents the pinnacle of the linear military shooter experience – and you wonder where the sub-genre can go from here.
As CoD players we have travelled the world, killing people, following orders, hunting down madmen … many of us have had enough. Call of Duty should go out on a high, or at least come back totally re-invented. Perhaps that's what we'll get with Modern Warfare 3. But for now, and for the next two-years of multiplayer engagement, revel in this game's mastery of its well-trodden domain.

The Telegraph - 10/10
Call Of Duty: Black Ops will be a tough act to follow as it's easily one of the best games of this, or any year. It is even, dare we say it, better than Modern Warfare 2.
