Amazing! AMAZING!
Slow paced, glitchy, average graphics, prone to crashing...and yet it is one of the most involving and engaging games ever. Here's some of my favorite moments (so far...)
Early on in the game I was asked to investigate a remote town. After finding several rows of crucified townspeople (still alive) I was suddenly surrounded by a gang. I had to pretend to be their friend so they wouldn't kill me.
The local army realized they had a mole. I had to find the mole and spy on him. After eavesdropping on him I realized that he was going to blow up the monorail so I had to run back to the station and defuse the bomb.
Dressed up in disguise to infiltrate a slaver camp in order to free some slaves by purchasing them for myself.
Sneaking up behind someone and putting a live grenade into their pocket.
This is why I haven't been playing Black Ops as much as I used to play.
