Torrent description

Its right about the time youre shooting a well-known communist leader in the head that it all clicks into place. Here we are in Call of Duty land again, where insane Boys Own battle action and precise historical detail weirdly conjoin. This long-running series of million-selling military shooters is essentially the Inglourious Basterds of the gaming world a strange, ridiculous, entertaining, fanciful and bloody celebration of mans interest in violence. And it still works. By some considerable margin, Black Ops works.For the campaign mode, you play almost exclusively as Alex Mason a special operations veteran caught up in the Bay of Pigs invasion and then cast into a covert war that quickly descends into a fraught psychological odyssey. As the action ping-pongs between Cuba, Vietnam and Russia, an interesting tale plays out concerning dodgy CIA dealings, Nazi experiments and communist expansionism, all bubbling beneath the accepted facts of the era. Its similar to the Modern Warfare titles in that it actually boils down to a classic manhunt in the end, but while some elements get lost in the rush, this is easily the most cogent and well-constructed story weve seen from this franchise in a number of years. Although its not quite the time-travelling psychedelic drug orgy some were expecting, there are several well-handled plot twists that make Modern Warfares narrative battering ram look even more brutish and incoherent.

Splattered across the games expansive Cold War canvas is a very familiar Call of Duty experience. Once again, were shooting our way along linear paths, more often than not following a lone indestructible character as he barks out orders. Navigational options are kept to an absolute minimum, a straitjacket that feels almost suffocating at times, especially when were shown astoundingly rich and detailed environments like Vietnamese jungles and the inner chambers of the Pentagon only to be told we cant go anywhere.

But this is the CoD way, and operating within the constraints of the series, Black Ops is a master work. Whether youre busting out of a hellish Russian prison camp or creeping through Viet Cong tunnels with just a flashlight and a revolver, Treyarch knows how to grapple the drama and spectacle out of every choreographed encounter. What this game is, in fact, is a ceaseless barrage of brain-pulverising set-pieces. There is Hue City on fire, with US choppers strafing overhead like monstrous dragon flies; there is the raid on the Russian launch site, its towering rocket looming beneath a sickly orange sky; and there is the shootout on the rooftops of Kowloon city, with jumbo jets scorching close overhead as bullets fly. Black Ops doesnt so much capture your attention as bludgeon it into bruised acquiescence.
