The Black Ops II content barrage continues with Uprising , an add-on that's split between four great multiplayer maps and a massive new Zombies quest. We love the ongoing trend of distinct, singular-feeling locations in Black Ops II 's downloadable packs, and Uprising 's offerings don't disappoint.

If you're reading reviews for Call of Duty: Black Ops II , you've either bought the game already and are looking to see if you agree with reviewers, or you're on the fence about it.

In this review I'll take you through each of the multiplayer maps included in the Uprising DLC, before taking a look at the celebrity filled Mob of the Dead, the latest addition to the ever popular Zombies mode.
