Good game overall. My big complaints are how the single player game crashes frequently, and that multiplayer is sometimes a ghost town.

Single Player: Compared to the other CODs this one's unique. You have the ability to have different endings depending on choices and also how you play. It's nice but I feel they should have added a few more choices in the game. I also like how it gives you the ability to change your loadouts before going in. The story itself is alright, not bad but not very great.

Multi Player: I really like the create- a - class in this game, you get to choose 10 items (i.e. Guns, attachments, perks, etc.), allowing more variation. The maps are okay, some are horrible, others are good. It would depend on your preferences. The big issue I have with multi are the overpowered guns in the game *cough* Remington 870 MCS *cough*. Overpowered guns lead to many players using them. Unless you're extremely skilled with other guns, you're probably gonna end up using the overpowered guns in order to survive at least.

Zombies: Personally this is my favorite mode out of all of the Treyarch CODs. In every zombie game, you must survive as long as you can against wave after wave of increasingly stronger zombies. You gain points by either shooting and killing them, or boarding up windows or doors where zombies spawn. You use those points to open doors, guns from walls or the mystery box, perk drinks that help you survive better, or even upgrade your guns using a pack - a - punch machine( if you can access it). You can either play by yourself or with up to 3 other people. When you buy BO2 you get the Green Run map, It includes Tranzit(Available at Bus Station), where you play as one of 4 survivors and you travel around Green Run on a bus surviving against zombies, Grief(Available at Town and Farm), where you and 3 other people survive with or against another team of 4 at one location of the Green Run map, and Survival(Available at Bus Stop, Town, and Farm), where you and 3 other people survive against waves of zombies at one location of the Green Run map.

Overall Black Ops II is a good game. The whole package includes a fun and interesting single player with an okay story, Okay yet frustrating multiplayer, and great zombies.

I'd recommend this game, but unless you're a die hard COD fan, I'd wait until this is on sale for 50% off, maybe 25% off.

It's a good game overall. I like the gameplay over the third game but the story I thought a little better in 3 in my opinion. I understand that the point of the game is to be ridiculous, but the whole thing with aliens goes over the line just a bit. It's still a good story though. I would recommend getting this game, but unless you're willing to pay $50, I would probably wait until this is on sale for at least 20% off.
