Any Black Ops 2 Wii U Reviews or Impressions?

I picked up my Wii U and now going to Target to take advantage of the "Buy 2 Get 1 50% off. I know I want Zombie U and Mario. I really am intrigued by how shooters play on the Wii U and am leaning that way.

Any impressions out there?

Who is going to be playing this online though?

If there is no online players like xbox/ps3, it's not a very good investment

Obviously there won't be many at first, but the number of players is sure to increase over time.

All we need to know if whether or not you can play online multiplayer with a mate in your room, one on the screen, one on the television. Nothing else matters. There seems to be plenty of people playing thiss kicking about...

Videos seem to make it look great:

This is not split screen mode like the video mentioned further up in the thread.
Poster is on gaf so hopefully Hellish can give us a better idea of the FPS here.

Looks pretty matched to the 360 here.

Did anyone ever confirm if the whole game is playable on the gamepad? Including all the multiplayer modes?

Ofc it is! Video above is with pad. Pointer controls can be used. Pro controller too.

They don't let you play splitscreen online multiplayer on Xbox 360 and PS3, so I doubt they'd do it with Wii U's splitscreen equivalent.

My initial impressions of the Wii Remote controls in this.

Initial impressions:
I think they've changed the control mechanics in a bad way. There's so much turning inertia that I haven't been able to get used to it and I've adjusted control settings in a lot of ways. All of the previous games' controls feel much tighter than this. Using the Wii Remote.

looks good to me. played tdm with pad only, controls like cod and plays like cod. not many people on other playlists for now, i am sure that will be remedied once people are done showing off nintendoland to their family. i am liking this foobah on the tv, cod on the little screen setup.

My short impressions: it's basically the same COD experience you're getting on the HD twins sans nuke town. There's hardly anyone online right now. As far as the nunchuck + wiimote controls go they're definitely definitive over the gamepad. I tried going online with co-op while one person was on the gamepad while the other was on the full screen but it didn't seem to work. Maybe I was doing something wrong but it didn't say how to do it in the digital manual provided for the game. Something that I absolutely love is being able to solely play on the gamepad with headphones. It makes late night zombie sessions even better. One irk I have is that you can only access the consoles home menu through the campaign portal of the game. If you try to do it on either the zombie or multiplayer portal it won't let you unfortunately, which is stupid.

Played for like 20 mins. Looks great but is to damn difficult to play with the gamepad. Need that pro controller asap!

Edit: Dint got the NukeTown map though. I've preordered.

Thanks for the impressions. Weird home lock thing though; suppose its a launch game.

I'm playing it right now, It got a bit choppy in an action heavy sequence. I hope its not the norm.
EDIT: played halfway up into the second level and haven't seen it again. So far it was an isolated experience.

This game is in split screen. So yeah it works.
They also made it a focus of the Wii U launch event - its a major game feature.

That's an offline match. You could always play offline splitscreen no matter what version you have. It's whether you can play it online WITH splitscreen that I'm not sure about. You sure that's the feature they're touting?
