Let me start this review by saying I have a lot of nostalgia tied to BO2, so that may be a factor. Apart from that, even when I was unfamiliar with this game I still grew to enjoy it. It doesn't exactly feel like the rest of the entries in the series, but that doesn't mean it isn't worthy. The controls are going to be hit or miss for many, but I found them fairly easy to learn. I've heard there are issues with rebinding, but there are programs that may help with that ( if you don't mind using them ). The graphics are what you may expect from an older game, but not terrible for its age. Boss fights feel pretty nice overall. Not too strong and not too weak. The performance, which many have had trouble with, may indeed require a bit of tinkering. I had the same issue as others with the menu freeze and I found that limiting my frame rate to 60 I believe was what ultimately fixed it. To be safe though I'd recommend running in compatibility mode for an older Windows.
