Too short

With cheat codes, this game is too short. I was expecting a little more(more missions). It is just 1 mission. Overall, very good graphics and lots of action.

Great First Person Shooter

Black is one of the greatest looking titles out for the Playstation 2. It is gorgeous, its storyline is thrilling, and the sound-effects are crisp. And for all you adults reading reviews to see if your children will like it, there are a few things you should know.

Language: Very Strong Language. Consistent use of the "F" word.

Sex/Nudity: None

Violence: While there is no blood in this game, it is still very realistic. There are prolonged fight sequences that are very intense and loud.

Drug Content: None

Overall, Black is a title I would recommend for "mature" gamers.

my kind of game

This game is an awesome shooter. I am a shooter fan, especially first-person ones, and when I first played this, I laughed with glee and sheer destructive pleasure. It is my kind of game because I have always been fascinated by explosions and guns and grenades and on and on, so this fit the bill quite nicely. I haven't beaten it yet, because my Dad and I just bought it yesterday, but so far it is great. If you are seeking a game with a great story, look away, because the story isn't really a plot at all. My only complaint is the completely, melodramatically over-the-top cutscenes. Yeah, they're ok, but like I said, they are very dramatic. But I really love to play an unapologetically destruction-focused FPS. WOOHOO!

This is the game that I have been looking for. Its a sweet FPS. My only complaint is that you have to shoot doors to open them(waste of ammo). Other then that its exellent

This is THE shooting game for the PS2. I am simply addicted to the wonderful levels and graphics, the sound (stunning!), and the overall gameplay. Visually, this game is fantastic, aurally, when piped through a surround set-up, this game is brilliant. You can actually place enemies by where the sound comes from over your home theater setup. The controls are respectable, and mostly intuitive, which is good, since the manual is so thin it might as well not have been included.

The only thing I don't like are the cut-scenes at the beginning of each level - although the look and sound decent, they take way too long - keeping me from firing off hundreds of rounds against some semi-smart enemies in yet another smoothly rendered setting.

Definitely, this game is a must-have for fans of the shoot 'em up genre, despite it being single-player only, and no online capability. It literally is a blast!

Probably the best F.P.S. on the PS2, but SO HARD !

Black is a first person shooter game in which you are being questioned for events that are the levels in the game. The first few levels are somewhat easy, but then it gets harder and harder.(I played this on EASY difficulty !)

The graphics are amazing for a PS2 title. The weapons are extremely realistic, and so are your surroundings. And like Red Faction 2, you are able to blow your way through walls using AK-47's, Pistols, ect...(The red items are especially fun to shoot ;))

Overall, this is an extremely fun game to play, but be prepared to be frustrated on many levels.

I give this game a 4 out of 5

Second best shooter in PS2!

if you like first person shooters (FPS), this game is great! first off, i was a little sick of all the good FPS games being either set in WWII or in the future. this game is based on modern black ops, so it has current weaponry and settings. its a difficult game, but alot of fun to play. i've heard some people say they think the game is too short, but i havent had that feeling myself yet. these are also the best graphics i've seen in a PS2 game.

my only complaint is that you arent able to skip the intro stories to missions unless you've already finished that level. for example, if you attempt a level but end up having to give up and try again later because you have to go out, when you retry later you do have to watch the whole intro movie. its a minor complaint, obviously.

pick it up, its worth it.

The producers of this game have described the game as "gun porn." That is a dead-on accurate description. In a porno film, the plot provides an excuse for gratuitous sex.

In BLACK, the plot is merely an excuse for massive devastation and violence. While there is plenty of violence, there is no real blood. If this game had contained the kind of blood splattering you see in games like HITMAN, it would have been banned in most countries. I'm serious. Even without the blood, it's hard to stomach at times. To be sure, this game is a total assault on the senses.

The graphics are incredible, placing you in environments where you are hopelessly outnumbered. Your hope for survival lies in your speed and accuracy with your weapons, as well as the combustible elements of your landscape.

Beautifully Rendered and Extremely Addictive

Black is one of the most visually impressive games on the PS2. There is a reason that this game has been referred to as "gun porn" by trade magazines and lawmakers hostile to violence in video games. The environment of Black is incredibly detailed, and everything is responsive to bullets and explosions. I've played through the game several times, and I'm still finding new things to blow up!

Black is also one of the few games that offers professional voice overs. Most game dialogue is so poorly executed that it detracts from the quality of the experience, but Black is a welcome exception to that rule. Parents should be warned that some of the dialogue does contain profanity (including the almighty F-bomb). Personally, I found that the language gave the game more of a movie feel and added to the experience, but I'm sure that there are some parents out there who might find the game's profanity to be inappropriate for younger children. Then again, it's a game about shooting Eastern bloc terrorists with an arsenal of high-powered weapons. If that's appropriate for a kid, then wouldn't it be hypocritical to have a problem with R-rated language?

Black's only drawback is that there is no multiplayer capability. Other than that, Black is pure unadulterated fun.
