(mini-review).

Call of Duty is no longer the mountain-topping franchise it was 10 years ago. This entry into the IP is little more than a point release. It has some good voice acting, some decent music, bog-standard and plain-feeling weapons, as well as a sleep-inducing plot. What could have been interesting and full of cloak-and-dagger double and triple crossing, instead becomes an extreme and absurd caricature of 1980s black ops. Graphics vacillate from jaw-dropping, to downright murkily ugly. The game campaign is only about 8 hours long, and is full of the same, tired, trope set pieces you've already played through in the past. Multiplayer is a nest full of hackers and that's when you can assemble a game at all. Zombies is fun but really a ghost town.

This game might be fun for a spin at 5-10 dollars, USD. It's not worth more than that.

Not worth the time. There are better games available.

6.5/10.
