Lots of Guns and Explosions = WHAT YOU WANT!!!

After reading the Gamespot review for Black i throught... "meh this game looks cool but i might not get it!" But well now i have the game and i do not regret it! Black has all the stuff that a run 'n' gun shooter fan wants. Big levels, huge loud guns, absolutly amazing explosions and blowing up the buildings with grenades! On the first level i tossed a grenade into a window and the explosion blew about 5 guys out who were shooting at me and the windows exploded and the roof caved in. OMG i was cool! The guns sound great with the bullets flying everywhere and bullet holes. The game truly captures a small battlefield. The building and environment look great because it has a sort of 'gritty' look to it, and it adds well to the rest of the game. The shadows and dynamic lights look great, like light coming through the trees covering the top of a forest.

The cool stuff:
Big loud guns
Huge explosions
Destroyable environment
'Gritty' landscape
Detailed graphics (for an xbox game!)
Friggin' AWSOME!!

the bad stuff:
No saves during a level
Can only carry two guns (but that means it is realistic)
A bit of a one-man-war game but it still kicks ass!

I highly recommend this game and you should get it!!!

    Critierion decided to make a FPS that shares the common goal with its famous racing franchise, Burnout, with spectacular explosions that gets your heart going, judging from their resume, you'll expect something good, but... Read Full Review
