Black

Black keeps you gripped from the start. Though the plot is pretty poor, the mini-movies before each level are very well edited and are better done than most films we have in cinemas today. But when you get into the game, you are thrown into what may be perhaps the most realistic shooter yet. The sound is realistic, the weapons are varied and very satisfying, the graphics are as good as can be, and the destructible environments are really the icing on the cake. Though this game can sometimes annoy you, especially on the harder levels, the checkpoints that you pass as you go through the levels really do prevent you from wanting to throw the game off a cliff, and give you some hope when you are surrounded by well-armed enemies from all angles. The lack of blood makes it less realistic, and the lack of multiplayer gameplay is a slight letdown, but with a game this good, the folks at EA Games are bound to make a sequel to this at some point. This is a truly fine game, and delivers in every aspect. This may be possibly the finest shoot-em-up game yet.

This is a game that must be played. 2006's best game yet! 10/10

Not as good as it's been made out to be. The PG-13 feel doesn't help much either

Is one of those games I wish were better than it is but it is fun mostly because the gun sounds so meaty and it has some beautiful lighting through the grey world.

But it also a double itched problem, for the weapons because they sound me good but the enemies take so many shots that it becomes weird like hey. I'm using the most magnificent gun in the world. Why aren't you dying ?

Weapon sound good but the power is weakened by the enemies taken too many hits

But the game looks very impressive for 2006 PS2 and Xbox game but the thing is it's kind of grey and they environments are spartan and Baron but luckily the lighting is good with the Golden streams for the cracks and Windows it does look good even if I wish it was more colors.

The story is complete and other nonsense that was put in last minute and I can feel it. I wish I could skip it because it doesn't add anything to the game. But it is fun just how bad it is.

Interesting to see what the burnout people could do with a shooting game I can see the Polish in the graphics and the sound effects even if the shooting details isn't there.

Most powerful sounding shotgun.

PROS: Good graphics, great sound, decent AI, great background sounds ( team mates etc.) CONS: No jump, invisible walls, long intro/unstoppable cinematics, not enough check points/ cannot save a partial mission ( XBox).

Decent game, but not the best by any means. In this day and age, not being able to jump and utilize all of your environment is plain ridiculous. And the invisible walls and small drop offs that prevent backtracking make this you feel like you are on rails at some points. The lack of check points/inability to save a partial mission are beyond frustrating, especially when every other FPS has this ability. A decent game, but anyone who thinks this is the best FPS ever obviously hasn't played one.

First time i played this game was 11 or 12 years old ...I rent it from a shop and i wish i could buy it but I didnt ...I stopped playing ps2 for a big big period and when i started again i managed to find it and bought it 9 months ago .I missed this game so much.the first thought when i started to play ps2 was this game !It's the absolute gun porn...the missions the story the explosions the grenades are so brilliant especially the rpg .I have to admit is very difficult game at first when you dont know the missions and how to play but when you manage it this game becomes the love of your life. At least I have that feeling especially when i bet this game in all difficulties lots of times.
