Call of Duty: Black Ops Prestige Edition

Customer Ratings:
List Price: Price Unavailable
Sale Price: $168.91
Today's Bonus:

Cons:

-Campaign mode: Treyarch was never one for a good plot. Single player is fun, but feels overloaded with adrenaline and explosions at times.

-Online maps are considerably smaller, fans of sniping will gripe about this.

-Max prestige mode has been upped to 15 (more resets, less level cap)

-Graphics seem to have decreased slightly to make room for customization

Pros:

-TWO-PERSON ONLINE: Yes, you can now play with two people on the same system ONLINE. Finally.

-Zombies: Treyarch knows what they do well, and they stick to it. More zombie maps, more styles, more fun.

-Online Customization: Clan tags, player cards, guns, player look it can all be customized

-Tailored for CASUAL gamers (Kill streaks reduced, access to equipment early on)

-More multiplayer game modes: Wager Match (Gun game, Sticks and Stones, One in the Chamber), more Hardcore game modes

-RC-XD actually works! Very high quality, great video audio for price (Only available if you bought Prestige Edition)

Reason Purchased: I purchased Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, Call of Duty: World at War, and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. It only made sense to buy Call of Duty: Black Ops from a series I love/hate so much.

Bottom Line: Treyarch knows what works for them, and they know what the people want. Their focus on customization and Zombies has left other industry players in the dust. I highly recommend this edition over the previous installments.

Man this game is in a word good, I truly see what all the big fuss is about. Modern Warfare 2 got me into 1st person shooters but this one more complex

than that. The graphics arent't as good as MW2. The weapons, voice-overs and missions are ok. And the multi-player is absolutely wicked, you can play split-screen multi-player this time around. I just love the new and old features, the new guns (crossbows, mac-11 and dragunov and explosive shells)and kill streaks (this time the kill streaks are more diverse), online campaign modes. Wager Matches is a beautiful addition using in-game currency, the multi-player maps and the new leveling up system and they also added realistic gore and dismemberment to the game which really makes it M-Rated worthy. I will definitely recommend this to anybody who's looking for a 1st person shooter, if you just so happen to feel you`re getting beat down in this game you can check out the Theater Mode, so you can analyze your own performances to make yourself better. The new modes in this game just keeps going and going and more importantly they're useful you'll love them. This time around everything is more in-depth, you don't just customize things you personalize them with new gun colors the gun colors kinda reminds me of Army of Two, emblems and etc. I am not too pleased with how you earn the pro-level for the perks, in MW2 you had an assigned challenge for each perk. With this you now have 3 challenges to complete to earn pro-level, I'm concerned earning the pro-level takes too long. But for an avid gamer it may be simpler. I can once again, see why this is the most anticipated game of the year, MW2 was hard to top and they didn't pull it off. By the way, I also really enjoy the RC-XD that came with the Prestige Edition it's a nice added bonus. Now for my review: GRAPHICS 4stars (it falls short of MW2 graphics), GAMEPLAY 5stars (it still handles like MW2), REALISM 4stars, WEAPONS 5stars, MULTI-PLAYER 5stars. Modern Warfare 2 kept me well entertained and challenged for an entire year, there's no doubt that Black Ops won't do the same. CALL OF DUTY: BLACK OPS 5STARS... Good

I received this game the day after it was released. The game is fun, but the remote controlled car that came with the Prestige Edition simply did not work.

I tried to exchange it, but was unable to because it was out of stock. I had to pay to ship it off to the manufacturer to get it replaced. It took over a month and several phone calls to get it replaced.

My son likes it, but I was dissapointed with the car even after we got one that works.

The game itself is a lot of fun.

I have to start by saying that Amazon.com is AMAZING!!! I will never pre-order or order a video game from any other place then Amazon.com again;ever. They have top notch service before and after the sale and I always get my pre-order on release day for .99. I used to order from Gamestop or Bestbuy and go down and get my game the day of release, but the staff (mainly at gamestop) is always condesending and unhelpful to say the least. Thanks Amazon for making the internet shopping experience the way it was meant to be.

Okay, I really love the Call of Duty franchise and this game is no exception. It has a great single player campaign and the storyline is fine. The ending is kinda weird but I won't spoil it for anybody that hasn't played it yet. I have only played the zombie mode a couple of times with some friends and it is as fun as it ever was. Definitely gets harder and harder as you move on through the levels (who knew zombies could move so fast being dead? and they are pretty smart too. I guess its from eating so many "brains" LOL). Well, that is the good part of the review. Unfortunately, I have to say that the multiplayer mode on the ps3 is broken from day 1 and is still broken as of the date of this review (11/29/10). It is almost impossible to join a game with a party and finish to completion, and even if you are lucky enough to finish, the lobby is usually closed after 1 or 2 games. Most of the time you either get connection interrupted or host migration in the middle and then it sends you back to the lobby mid game and then closes the lobby. When you do get into the game, it is hit and miss when shooting because of the lag or the hit marker detection and various other issues. I also have this game for the xbox 360 and in my opinion the game runs flawlessly on there and I have a great time playing the multiplayer with rare instances of problems at all.

If you haven't bought the game and you have both consoles, get it for the 360. If you only play the single player then by all means get it for the ps3. The campaign is kinda short thought, 4 to 5 hours. If you want to read what others are saying, goto callofduty.com and then click on black ops and then goto the forums and read them under the ps3 section

This is one of the most polished first person shooters today in every aspect of the game. The single player storyline is intriguing, although sometimes hard to follow. You might have to beat the game 2-3 times before you understand the whole premise. The voice acting and cut scenes are awesome, they really bring you into the story and give you a sense of realism. Speaking of which, the dismemberment and gore is much more realistic as well. AI is very similar to previous CoD and can be defeated tactfully or by going bonsai. It seems slightly more difficult to kill enemies in this game as well.

Online is always going to be fun and the new perks are awesome. I haven't played enough to comment, but I can say that there is 100s of hours of gameplay possible with the multiplayer.

And lastly, the RC car rocks!!! It works from a fairly good distance and the sound/video is decent quality. My only gripe, after spending over $130 there were no batteries!!!! and this thing takes a lot of batteries, 12 to be exact (6 in the RC, 6 in the remote). They were nice enough to include an aluminum plated game case, CoD medal, and certificate of authenticity.

At the end of the day it was a good purchase and would recommend it to friends. I will have plenty of fun messing with the car and the game just rocks.
