At first opinions this game is really great, good graphics, realistic weaponry, good gameplay and fairly easy controls. It is very intense with lots of explosions and all kinds of stuff to shoot at. The levels are open and you can usually see from one side to another with the right weapon. The game's only downfall is its difficulty settings, where you have to progressively beat harder levels. But once you go from normal to hard, nothing changes with the game, it gets very repetitive. There are less healthpacks and harder enemies for few rewards. In my opinion there should have meen one more mission at the end if you beat the whole game. I highly reccomend this game to anyone who likes first person shooters, but I would suggest renting it instead of buying it, once the game is done it's pretty much no fun to play anymore.Read full review
And that's why it rocks. From the moment you play Black, you will notice that the weapon you're holding is as real as they come, but one thing is peculir: it holds 90 bullets per clip, more than enough to rage hell against masked terrorists totally vulnerable to headshots. Even the gameplay itself is just... bullets. Bullets everywhere. And the way they did it is so freakin amazing. When the bullets hits all around you, the dust flies up and your visiblity gets low, making the gunfight more realistic than in any game I've ever seen. If you hide behind a concrete pillar, enemy bullets will eventually tear it to pieces, making you look for another hiding spot. And the game's memory is so capable that the ground will be littered with bullet casings. It's an all-out war and each bullet that each weapon fires will leave you in awe. The graphics are the most amazing thing I've ever seen for a Playstation 2, especially as a first-person shooter. From the blurry vision you get when you reload a weapon to fiery explosions to bullets that take a chunk out of concrete walls, this game is very visually oriented, and will make your jaw dangling for quite a while. There are certain flaws to the game however. The biggest flaw is that you can only save progress after you've beaten a mission. Sure you get checkpoints but they're so far apart and if you decide to quit the game after getting to the 2nd checkpoint, I'm sorry but you have to do that mission all over again. The story is rather convoluted and confusing the first time since everything is flashback. And the terrorists can endure ridiculous amounts of shots if it's not a headshot. They can really survive 20 AK rounds to their arms and still run around fine. The A.I. is really fine tuned but can be real frustrating some times. Another thing is, and this is not a flaw, but I'm just saying, the game doesn't have much replay value at all. I mean, sure you get unlimited ammo for weapons after beating each difficulty level, but other than that, it's just a good single player fps. There is no multiplayer whatsoever and no level has any memorable moments. It's just a hide-and-shoot game that will get you fired up but after it's all been said and done, you'll want to go to another game. Actually, it really sets up the stage for a sequel. I personlly think this game works best as a rental. It's relly great game, but it's not a keeper.Read full review
I have been in the Army now for about 2 years, and this game is "alright". Not the best I have seen. But it'll have you playing it until you beat it and then after you beat it; it's pretty much boring. The shooting is alright. But like a lot of gamers I love Sniper rifles and this game didn't offer a great sniper rifle. Beating the game is easy...grenades aren't that effective..and I don't know about you but who goes to battle against 50-100 guys with a small mashine gun....yeah you guessed it they offer the rocket launcher about twice throughout the whole game. Cannot jump into vehicles and hardly anything is destructible in the environment. But with the amount of people you get to kill in this game it's pretty tight. Wish they would of leaned a little towards Killzone but all in all its an ok game. Definately could beat it if you can rent it for 3 days. Your choice.Read full review
Black has turned out to be very engaging, exciting and fulfilling for the first two stages. Afterward you continue playing a variety of missions, with some well designed enviornments, but the weapons really never provide anything much more exciting than what you can pick up in the first few minutes. Furthermore the A.I. is not balanced well. At one point I sniped a soldier in a room with another solider within a few feet. The dropped solider didn't even excite the other bot at all. Many times the A.I will move, th ebots will operate in a manne rthat can be figured out quickly, and they truly only provide a challenge when there a million of them, or they start running. Don't get me wrong the idea behind the game is decent and the plot isn't bad. The weapons and detail look very nice on the PS2 and this game affords some good entertianment. However, if you are looking for an engaging game with smart bots, and some stealth elements combine dthis will not suffice. If you are looking for a good rental, or just a game to pick up that will give you a solid 25-35 minute mission of blowing the baddies up then shell out no more than $15-20 bucks for this. I appreciate the venture EA and there smaller compnay had made and I do like the game but it really hasn't provided much of a challenege except for when my screen had been flodded by lots of enemies at once. Decent game, could make several improvementsRead full review
Personally I think this game was amazing. I love the rag doll affect and the gun graphics. These are the best grapics the PS2 can generate. The missions are pretty long but theres no shortage of action. The different selection of guns pleases me. Not many games give you a big inventory of good guns. The one thing I don't like is the intro before each level can't be skipped. Other than that I like the game alot. I would give it a 8.1. It is a highley addictive game and is a very good shooter. It's difficulty is just right for me at least. It doesn't take that long to get the controls and find out how fast you can die. I have plaued it alot and want to keep playing it. So if you are looking for a good shooter this is a very good game for you.
