THIS GAME RULES! I STILL PLAY IT JUST TO END UP PLAYING IT AGAIN. I WILL AGREE WITH A LOT OF THE REVIEWS THAT IT IS TOO SHORT. THERE SHOULD HAVE BEEN MORE LEVELS OR AT LEAST SOME BONUS LEVELS. BUT OTHER THAN THAT, THIS GAME RULES! PICK IT UP IF YOU DON'T HAVE IT! ALL I CAN SAY IS WHERE IS BLACK 2?

the BEST first person shooter on PS2!

I made the mistake of thinking this was a target shooting type game and never picked it up when it first came out. Big mistake. The pictures on the back of the box showed too many things exploding and didn't give me a good idea about the graphics and complex, detailed levels that this game has. So after recently finishing all the SOCOM games, I was in the mood for another military gun based title. Enter BLACK.

This game is hands down the most exciting, best looking first person shooting game on the PS2 console! The main story is simple: you are a CIA BLACK operative being interrogated by your boss about the details of your mission. Thankfully, the only cut scenes are before each level, after that it's ALL action!

There are 8 levels which may not seem like many, but after the first one, they get longer and longer. Almost seeming like 2-3 levels within one. Each level will start you off with a particular weapon or two, where you then pick up different guns along your path of destruction ( AK-47, M16, Rocket launchers, shotguns, MAC-10, Sniper rifles, grenades etc. ) Along with shooting enemies, the destruction is intense when you take out walls, cars, windows and anything else in your way. Great sound and visuals with splintering wood, shattering glass and bullet holes in everything you hit. Look for explosive objects throughout the levels like cars and gasoline barrels for big explosions! Don't forget to use your weapon suppressor to take out enemies without alerting others close by. Find hidden documents and intel along your path and destroy plans found in safes and brief cases used by the terrorists. The action is intense and riveting, I couldn't get enough of it sometimes. The graphics are incredible and probably some of the best you'll ever see on the PS2!

After playing it on normal difficulty, I quickly re-played it on hard mode to unlock the hidden silver weapons ( unlimited ammo ) and also unlock the BLACK OPS mode which gives you an M16 equipped with a grenade launcher and UNLIMITED ammo! Blasting through each level armed with this was actually easier than the hard mode. Also Black ops mode adds the extra "Destruction objective" where you have to find and destroy certain explosive objects throughout each level. The different levels of difficulty give this game a high re-play value. Even without them, I couldn't seem to put this game down.

The only cons would be that some enemies seem to take an incredible amount of gun fire before dropping. Even at point blank range. And there seems to be NO blood at all. A little splatter would have only added more to the intensity and look of the game which is already incredible. The story ends in a way that suggests a sequel, which I can imagine on the PS3 would be mind blowing. Unfortunately, I have read that BLACK has some glitches when played on PS3 systems that have backwards compatibility. I hope that some games are updated and re-issued on the PS3 system like the new version of The Godfather. BLACK is a game I can see myself continuing to play over and over for it's intensity. I tried re-playing playing SOCOM III after playing BLACK and I immediately wanted to put BLACK back in, it's just unmatched in it's intensity.

Black is Awsome

You want a fantastic military shooting and blowing things up game, then buy this game. I have played this game over 300 hours and still pull it out to play when I am bored. You can't get enough of the action this game gives you. Great weapons and lots of shooting to stay alive. Blowing up trucks, oil tanks, gas tanks, and just about anything you can think of help you survive each mission. Some missions you use stealth and planning, and they give you the opportunity to complete each mission in different ways. You can use stealth, or try and blast your way through the mission. It great fun. Try it you will like it I'm sure.

Black Rules!!!

This game is the ultimate first player shooter for the playstation 2. If you like first shooter don't hesitate to buy it. The story, game play, graphics, weapons and control is perfect. Just buy the game, go home and play it. That's all. Buy the game and play it!!!

This game really exceeded my expectations. It's by far the most beautiful looking game I've ever played on PS2. The sound and graphics are amazing! I happy to find locations besides the factory, industrial settings. The forest areas really balance out the game. The game is believable enough in regards to head shots. It depends on what angle you have on your target. Sometimes, a single shot on top of the enemy's helmet will finish em. I like the dudes with all the body armour. They require at least a full clip of lead. If only this game was a multiplayer...
Besides that I think this is the best shooter on PS2. Kick back, crank up the volume, and destroy everything (virtually speaking).

Hey, it's $20

Ok, not the best FPS but great in the way they paid attention to the deatails. When your playing the game just notice how much attention they paid to the guns your using. Each one has a different, realistic kick when you fire it. When you reload the gun you are focused on the gun. You can't line up the next shot because it goes all blurry. It teaches you to take cover and not run out holding down the fire button. Not to mention great graphics and gameplay. I might not have bought it for $40 or $50, but for $20, not to mention a greatest hits label, I highly 99% reccomend buying if you enjoy FPS's.

black is one of the most amazing games i have ever played on the ps2. the entire game and every thing in it is destuctable. for instance you shoot a car enough itll blow up with a huge explostion. the coolest part of this game is the reloding sequence. the part of the game that most game designers forget about is reloding and half the time the gun just disapers and pops up reloded. but not here, here the guns, relods, and exploshins are all real. this game also has someof the best grafix ive seen BUY IT U WONT BE DISSAPOINTED

This is a game for the kind of people who like to straight up shoot things. The amount of enemies you face in this game is vast, so much so that will keep your bloodthrist pretty much satisfied. The game is simple, aim, shoot, kill. They have added objectives (such as destructing enviroment, finding hidden documents/weapons and blowing briefcases) to add a little more to the missions. I started off on hard difficulty and I can say I'm pretty satisfied with how hard the game has come to be at some points, but once you beat the hard level of difficulty you get to unlock silver weapons, which pretty much makes it a breeze to kill enemies (unlimited ammo, plus, the weapon they give you launches grenades, which are also unlimited) that's if you decide to go and take on the Black Ops difficulty, which isn't harder than Hard, you just have to complete ALL objectives. The only glitches I found with the game is that at some points, when the shooting gets too heated, the frame rate drops and everything slows down pretty bad, which can actually help you to align your shot, but it's still a tad annoying. Other than that, some enemies (guys with shields and shotgun people) can take an insane amount of damage, almost wasting your whole clip and more sometimes. I'd suggest you cheat a little and get an online walkthrough to locate the objectives if you're aiming for that, other than that, enjoy shooting waves of enemies.
