This is one shooter that makes shooting feel amazing!

Black is a game that has reinvented the FPS. It has made shooting fun again. Now, instead of worrying about dual wielding combos or sci-fi stuff, you can take a modern gun and blow the crap out of pretty much everything! The graphics, sound and use of custom soundtracks make Black feel like a next gen game and in some ways, it looks more next gen than some of the next gen games. The A.I. is smart, so you you may have to go through a round or two to take em down. It may be short (although I haven't gotten to the end yet), but it sure is sweet. Black is a must play for any shooter fan who wants to blow stuff up. I do wish there was multiplayer, but for what I've played so far, the experience was worth the money.

(I will post a full review once I beat the game)

Note: This game has a LOT of cussing, about as much or more than Far Cry: Instincts. If you are offended by the strong language, turn your custom soundtrack volume up really high and leave for the cutscenes. That may help.
