A strangely artistic killing experience.

[No-Superman10]

So i recently got Black Ops and having played through the campaign, a single fact rang out through my head.

I was having fun.

This has to be the first time i've had fun in a CoD game since CoD4's Death From Above mission.
I refer of course to the boat section in Crash. To those unfamiliar to this mission it involves piloting a Gunboat up a river in Laos and just generally tearing shit up.
But here's the best bit.
Sympathy For The Devil - The Rolling Stones is playing over the radio. The song itself isn't all that action-y but it provides an icredible backdrop to mindless carnage in a way I never thought possible, i even found myself muting everything but the music and the result was almost poetic.
I have to honestly say that Black Ops is my favourite CoD game to date.

Tl;Dr
Well played Treyarch, Well played.

I kind of see what you mean, but I'd say instead that its just that it wasn't bad. Seriously, the campaign for Black Ops was so bad, that by contrast, any pieces of game play that weren't complete crap looked good.

Playing the first Assassin's Creed game made me realise killing was an art form. After pulling of an assassination perfectly I just had to stop playing the game for a second to admire the beauty. Thankfully the game had those unskippable cut-scenes after a kill, or else I probably would have died.

Except when I was raging at the bullshit checkpoints, Mirror's Edge was like this.

personally i hated that part of the game. you have four people all using a different gun on different sides of the boat but they can only shoot at where you're aiming and where you're aiming also turns the boat which means you can't shoot behind you or to the sides and stay on course. aim with the right stick, steer with the left stick would have made more sense to me, but that song was the only reason i continued playing through the level.

Personally, Twisted Metal: Black.
