Call of Duty: Black Ops

If you need to buy a great Christmas gift for the video game aficionado in your life, then you’ll want to buy Call of Duty: Black Ops. It’s the seventh video in the highly successful Call of Duty series.

Call of Duty: Black Ops is a first-person shooter game.  The tactical play and stealth aspects of the game allow the user to fight in the shoes of a shadow solider.  There are a number of historically representative fictional Black Ops missions which take place during the Cold War era.  This game was developed with input from actual Black Ops soldiers who were active during that period. The missions depicted in this game take the user to a number of Cold War scenarios.  Scenes range from the tropical settings and urban settings of South East Asia during the Vietnam war, back to snow covered mountain strongholds in Soviet territory.

This game combines the more traditional Call of Duty tactical shooter gameplay with newly devised gameplay options designed to expand the user’s experience. There are new vehicles tied to the Cold War era  such as the SR-71 Blackbird, and lethal weapons like the explosive-tipped crossbows, and extensive team-based  multi-player options.  But the user can still expect to find the traditional essence of Call of Duty style combat which has made this franchise so successful.  This game blends traditional Call of Duty, and new first-person character scenarios which were designed to retain the essence of the Call of Duty  gaming experience and to ensure constantly flowing and varied action.

Call of Duty: Black Ops is available on the following platforms:  The XBox 360, Nintendo Wii, Playstation 3, Playstation 2, Nintendo DS and Windows.

There are many great video games on the market these days, including Metroid Other M. However, Call of Duty is the number one selling action series of all times.  If you know a video game fan and need to get a great Christmas gift for him or her, then you will definitely want to buy Call of Duty: Black Ops.
