Call of Duty: Black Ops Campaign Review

Now that I have played through and beat the campaign portion I can give a better opinion on the game.  It is spectacular to say the very least.  For a military themed game like this it is very enjoyable to play through all the missions.  The missions are very varied offering many unique ways to play every mission besides the straight up run to the next checkpoint approach.  The soundtrack is amazingly engaging and really fits in well pulling you further in than you already are.  Treyarch is so much better than Infinity Ward at creating a more gripping campaign as evidenced here and previously World at War.  The only flaw is one can play through the game in a day as it only really involves about seven hours to complete on normal difficulty.  There is some replayabilty built in with trying to obtain all trophies in a second veteran difficulty playthrough.  Multiplayer aside, this game is worth the purchase, the multiplayer only makes it that much more of an amazing package.
