Call of Duty: Black Ops II for Wii U Reviews by Gamers

I have played all of the call of duty games and I am an action shooter fan. I can say without reservations that this is the best game in years. The story was fun and engaging. The controls were flawless. The weapons in the game feel really close to the real ones (as far as their particular signatures are concerned; sounds, reloading times, site pictures.. .etc). I know because I own at least five of them. Furthermore, I want to add that the realism of the environmental and background special effects, and graphics was excellent. If you are a hardcore action shooter then this game is for you.
(Disclaimer) this game will not disappoint. I recommend playing this on a 42” plus TV (1080P obviously) with a nice sound system.
If I have to mention a negative about this game, it will be how short the game is. I did not want the game to end.
thanks.

This FPS shooter game is finally good on a Nintendo console. With the game pad, you can play local multiplayer without looking at other people's screen and play tactics. Keep it coming treyarch!

I recieved CODBO2 a few weeks ago (after waiting forever for shipping, of course). I played about an hour of the game and it gave me error code 150-1031 (The disc could not be read. It might be dirty.). The disk is spotless. Played from the last save point up there and got the same error code at the same cut scene. Reported it uplayable and got a replacement (again aftter waiting forever for shipping). Finally, I get to play more of the storyline. Pop it in, play for a bit, and bam... same code at the same cut scene. After searching all over the net for other people with issue, I found a few, and shockingly, they all got their copy from GameFly. What I've seen of this game is great, but I do not recommend renting it from here as you will undoubtedly get a bad copy.

Overall a fun game, but the cod games are starting to feel more of a interactive movie than a full fps. I felt I was watching longer than normal cinematics than playing the actual game. The game engine stays the same so no improvements there, Campaign was under 10 hours. Renter only.

i absolutely hate the new black ops. all of the futuristic stuff just done fit. im going back to c o d world at war for.

The multiplayer and zombies sucks, but the campain is really solid. To acess the home button menu, you have to go back to the main campain menu. Really slow loading. Hope this is fixed in a future update, otherwise am getting rid of the game. :(

The game does not fit the hole screen on the game pad people keep said ing that it in sd mode I dont how to get it out I try to called acvison and they to busy but other then that the game fit the hole screen on the tv just not the game pad it not my game pad because it the only game that does not fit !!!!!

I own PS3, Xbox, and Wii U consoles, and wanted to try a FPS on the latter, and especially after reading several stellar reviews. Oh, my, what a MISTAKE. Wii U controls alternate between sticky and trepidating, and it is almost impossible to strafe an opponent effectively; viewpoints slip painfully. And did you know about the serious framerate drops and lag? After three hours of trying to play multiplayer, I just gave up and returned the game. I will NOT spend $50 on a Wii Pro controller, mind you.

Sadly, the Wii U is just another gimmick. It may work for the traditional Nintendo games, but fails miserably for true, hardcore gaming.

Most players know what they’re going to get from a Call of Duty game – a single player story mode that has a lot of thought put into it, a online mode where players go out and shoot each other on different battlefields, and in the case of the Black Ops, a Zombie game where players have to fend off hoards of the undead.
In Black Ops II, the storyline revolves around China during the year 2025. Some of the characters from the first film make an appearance and tell about a story of a cyber threat to America from some head of some great company.
But this is all an excuse to take on several missions that range from gathering information about the bad guys’ plans to just attacking a fortified building to eliminate those bad guys.
But the level design here is still super – you get to do a lot of different things, like glide through the air on a high tech parawing, pilot a jet, use an automated gun, or send a bunch of flying robots to dispatch the enemy. They story is not too hard to follow and it does have a great climax and conclusion to it (I wonder if they’ll make a Black Ops III?)
The online sections – not quite as good. You get experience points that will let you unlock weapons and other goodies. But this really discourages any new players (like me) from joining in because I’ll get out gunned by the other players.
Still, it’s a lot of fun to go up against other players online.
This is one of the few games that are in the WiiU and other systems where the WiiU came out about the same time as the other systems (unlike, say Batman Arham City where the WiiU came out about a year after the other versions went out.).
Call of Duty: Black Ops II delivers the shooter fun fans of the franchise is looking for – and you didn’t have to wait too long for the WiiU version to show up. BUY IT.

This game is the same as the Xbox 360 system awesome!!!

just think playing the best shooter on The wiiu gamepad.
And kicking my brother butt on are own screens.

Its as good as the PS3 version and being able to play it on the gamepad makes it that much better of an experience...

Wii u version is far superior.

If you enjoyed Black Ops then you will love part 2 for the WiiU, my 7yo son had never played it on the wiiU before and didn't even have to look up any controller settings, he jumped right in and setup all his special weapons/mods and went into the fight. I purchased the game since it is quite long and there is a lot of different content to go through.

If you haven't rented it then i suggest you try this out, its worth buying as well since it is a long game.

The last feature (and the reason i got it for wiiU instead of 360) that i liked is being able to turn off the "mature" content aka bad language because my child is still young and shouldn't be repeating that, I plan on buying all of these type games only for the WiiU just for that feature.
