A sequel to BO1, this game was a wonderful addition to the Black Ops Series. The Campaign was alright but I personally was always more invested in the zombies and multiplayer. I was the guy always rocking ballistic knives and a riot shield. As for the zombies, I just loved Origins and Buried. It feels more like a sandbox type of zombies playstyle with the customization and money system in these maps. Nuketown was a chaotic mess that I wish I could survive longer to enjoy the map but Juggernog never spawns when you want it to. Great Memories.
You ever see those pictures of knockoff/bootleg copies of merchandise and how they are not the same whatsoever? Picture that with this game (PS3).
I paid $60 for the ps3 version that did not include the campaign and the zombies weren't my style. It was a newish creative idea but I struggled liking and playing zombies in that game.

I was a Black ops kid. It was my second CoD game behind Cod: World at War and this felt like a nice addition to the Black Ops Series. Granted, this may be the nostalgia kicking in as I haven't touched a Call of Duty game since Call of Duty WW2. I love the Nuketown 24/7, Prop Hunt and Kill Confirmed the most. I use more primary weapons than I did in BO1 and B02 and I'm having fun experimenting with them.

My first time playing a Smash Game since Smash N64 and man do you get your $60 worth out of this game. The online is terrible as Nintendo is notoriously known for. The characters and the amount of different franchises you see is pretty impressive. The Story has a content and tasks to do to keep the player busy, plus their are little mini-games to test some skills and feats between you and your friends. An exciting game that will go down in history. Well done Sakurai and company.
Yep, we're back at where it started on the newest platform (to date). Gen 1 is back to showcase Pokemon on the Nintendo Switch and its.....good.
Take it as you may, but this game always felt like a good marketing tactic to get a new generation of Pokemon fans while also trying to bring back the original fans who just so happened owned a switch/played pokemon go.
In this game, you basically are starting the same way Pokemon Yellow started with the player receiving a pikachu. In return, the overpowered pikachu is always by your side ready to be cared for and battle for you.
It get 3.5 stars for two reasons. First, there's only so much you can do with limiting the pokemon to one generation. However, I think Nintendo made it work by allowing the Aloha Forms of the Gen 1 Pokemon as well as some Mega Evolutions (and meltan, the forgotten and weird additional to the game that can only be accessed via a Pokemon Go Transfer). The design of the characters and pokemon are cute but it;s just more of the same. Not great but not bad either.
Next, this game had an annoying mechanic where you needed a certain type in your party to get into the gym. A minor nuisance in the grand scheme of things but it's a bizarre inserted mechanic.
I truly believe the best type of player for this game would be a kid who's first experience was Pokemon Go and had not played any pokemon games yet. It's a nice appetizer to hold over newcomers to the series. As for me, a fan who has known the series for decades and have played multiple games from it, its just a good game.
