But good looks, do not a great fps, make. Least not all by themselves. And that's about all black has going for it. I guess the gimmick here was that the game is all about the guns! yeehaw! Cool, let's go cow tippin! The problem is that the game -is- all about the guns; their appearance and sound, and feel. unfortunately their effectiveness was apparently not a factor in the design. if anyone can give me a reason why headshots would not work...in a First Person Shooter, i'd love to hear it. Criterion dropped the ball here. and the a.i.- oh the a.i. is pretty damn stupid.

i'm sure criterion had a good focus on the aethstetic of the game, but leaving the gameplay loose like this just come off as sloppy. Which with EA behind the scenes isn't terribly surprising. That 800lb gorrilla has lost a step or two itself recently.

Ok, off my soapbox. bottom line...the original timesplitters that launched ps2 is a better shooter today than black. don't waste your time.
