Call of Duty: Black Ops II's most nonsensical, knee-jerk, rage-filled user reviews

Worst best game ever

Worst best game ever

Call of Duty: Black Ops II is out in the wild, and many are calling it the best Call of Duty in years. As we said in our Call of Duty: Black Ops II review, we loved it. Some disagree, and have taken to message boards and User Review sections of Metacritic and Amazon to sound off, flooding the services with the lowest reviews possible. While some have mildly valid complaints, others, well... some seem a bit unfair. Or knee-jerky. Or rage-filled. We've assembled ten of the "best," and shown what it would look like if Activision decided to promote its game based on these loving reviews.
