Advantages: Realistic weapons and gameplay, everything can be destroyed! Disadvantages: Borrring story!
Black is a first person shooter brought to us by the makers of the hugely popular racing game series Burnout, Criterion Games. It stars a young man called Sergeant Jack Keller, and Black Ops soldier. He is currently undergoing investigation four days into the future, and you have to go back in time to complete the missions he has been appointed. Later to be revealed, why exactly he is under investigation.
Black is set in western Russia, and our ... ...next Arnold Schwarzenegger hey?
Black is probably one of the best first person shooters available on Playstation 2. It is very unique compared to other shooters, and has a range of features which no other similar games have. In Black, you are given a large arsenal of weapons that seem extremely realistic and similar to real life weapons. The developers have paid a lot of attention here, and each weapon has been created in essence, as realistic as ...

Advantages: Amazing audiovisual presentation; quite a bit of replay value; awesome gunplay; controls perfectly. Disadvantages: Sometimes feels shallow; some A.I. quirks; no blood=stupid; brief campaign; no online/split-screen.
...speeds and total carnage. While Black doesn't have the high speed, it certainly has total carnage under it's belt.
-(The Story)-
Black places you in the role of a highly trained solider called Keller. The game begins as Keller is being grilled by this slimy person who says 'he will hep you if you cooperate'. Keller agrees and tells the guy everything he knows about this 'Seventh Wave', led by this terrorist called Lennox. Though there's vaguely ... ...to learn.
-(The Gameplay)-
Black does away with all the button pressing and key collecting shenanigans from other First Person Shooters, and just gives you a straight up action. Usually missions involve you to get to the end of the level without dying, though if you play from normal to black ops difficulties you have to perform side missions to progress as well. But there's a ton of enemies to kill along the way. Though you don't have to kill enemies, ...

Advantages: Stunning graphics, totally destructive fun. Disadvantages: Only 8 levels, no multiplayer or online.
...Jack Keller who is a Black Ops soldier which is a specialist CIA covert group. It begins with you being interrogation with questions about terrorists and the operations in was in that toke place in the last 4 days. As Keller describes about his missions and what happened the game flashbacks to each missions which you then play.
==GRAPHICS==
Just like what Criterion did on the Burnout series was stunning, the same is said here if not better. So ... ...equal to the gorgeous graphics Black has got not only on the PS2 but on any console. From even something as everyday items like glass windows have that amazing reflecting lighting. The glare of light from metal objects that if possible you could fell the heat. Ok you maybe thinking yeah that sounds great but that is when everything is calm, nice and has that new look to it. When the bomb drops then destruction has never looked so beautiful. Starting ...

Advantages: Stunning explosions, basically gun porn Disadvantages: No blood = lack of realism
...(god knows what Hard and Black ops (extra hard) ) are like. The fact that they can see you from one end of the map to the other can get you p***ed off very quickly. Another bad touch is the lack of blood, probably to keep a low age rating.
Extras
I thought I would end the review on a nice note. Apart from the play.com deal (OVER NOW, pre-order with play.com and get a bonus weapon) there are a few extras to be won while playing. Completing the game ...

Advantages: great graphics, good for relieving anger, Disadvantages: missions go on too long, 1 player,
Black takes you deep into the world of the unsanctioned military: beyond the army, beyond the law, beyond consequence. You are Jack Keller, a Black Ops soldier whose job it is to hunt down those that no-one else can stop, by any means necessary. The game starts with you being interrogated about operations you have done and about the terrorists you have killed. Keller describes his mission and then you replay the operation that he has just described. ... ...- easy, normal, hard or black ops. It is not a typical war game. It is better.
The gameplay is a simple shooter. All you need to do is take out the enemy and get to the end. Along the way, you can shoot absolutely anything in your way from cars to locked doors, glass windows to normal everyday objects. It is an awesome feeling shooting absolutely everything and it never gets boring! It is a great way for relieving stress! On each level, you will ...

Advantages: Great action and gameplay, controls etc Disadvantages: Not great storyline
Black is a first person shooter for ps2
It begins with some great vivid cutscenes which throw you straight into the action. The gameplay is superb and the action never stops. The controls are relatively easy to use and the graphics are great.
However, the one thing that black lacks is a definite storyline, One soon tires of the random action cutscenes and you soon get confused about who your shooting and why you are doing it.

Black's first few levels are quite exciting, but the high speed action movie cutscenes wear away quite fast, and the game's over not long after. Also the lack of a decent storyline infringes on the enjoyment factor of the game. ...

Advantages: you can shoot almost anything! Disadvantages: can get tricky as levels get harder
this game has the great attribute of being able to shoot pretty much anything in the game! this game delivers on the realistic side of things. when you shoot something, a wall for instance then you will be able to see the mark ie. the bullet hole(s) left by the shot.
to me this gives the game great realism which i think is essential if your looking for a game that serves up intense gun fights. if you want to see bits of plaster board and glass flying ...
