John Escudero weighs in after having played through Black Ops II.
The review is positively glowing.
Graphics:
The graphics are spectacular, I cant stress it enough.
Gameplay:
When it comes to controlling how you move around, they stuck with what has always worked.
Im too used toHalo, where the punch/attack is a button instead of an L3 press.
The challenges are good, though some are not easy at all.
Take them seriously and think of the tactics and survival more than the kills and youll do fine.
There was one major glitch in my run-through of the game that you might need to watch out for.
It happened when, in-story it was necessary to take over a couple of drones to get to survive.
One of them is called Brutus, the other Maximus.
The glitch was that, once my extraction team got there, I couldnt leave the drone interface.
I was stuck inside Brutus controls.
And to make it worse, it saved right there, so I couldnt restart from a checkpoint.
The roof has several skylights.
Eventually the skylight breaks, Brutus becomes scrap, and you go back to yourself.
It sounds more fun than it is, especially since I had no idea if it would work.
It already had plenty of reasons to go back and enjoy it again.
The choice for the end credits song was a bit unusual, I think, but somehow it fit.
Thats just my opinion, though.
Sometimes it pays to be Hispanic.
