Naw, Black Ops 2 it was all about conspiracies and drones and stuff and was actually interesting. This one, the main problem in terms of actual story structure is that they have a secondary antagonist and then...Nothing. You just have this guy who has nothing to do with the main plotline who's supposed to be the big bad guy even though he kills about two people during the course of the story.

Oh, that and that he turned into a bad guy because SECRET AMAZON TRIBAL TORTURE TECHNIQUES, can't forget that.

Blops 2 at least knew it was silly. This really, really doesn't. Plus you could sympathise with Menendez because you got to see how massively he'd been dicked around by the US in the past, while here it's just that everyone South of Texas has suddenly gone full-on genocidal for absolutely no discernible reason.

Extinction mode is fun, though, it plays like the old Survival mode with the addition of an actual point or Zombies with more enemy types and without all the moon-logic puzzles where adding cheese to a banjo makes an ICBM or whatever. Not that those were always bad, but it was something of a chore trying to figure out what the level's collection of random objects did while dead people were trying to eat your shoes.
