I really liked this game and I got for under $20.00!!! I was happy with the gameplay and the controls. It looked awesome and the sound has to be one of the best around. And not just the sound of the weapons ( which ROCK )...the background music added a lot to the game too! My only real problem with this game is, you have to finish the "ENTIRE" mission!!!!! There are "NO" save points in between!?!! So get comfortable and block off a good hour plus... cause you're in for a long stretch of gameplay.

I started on "normal" the first time through and I'm trying out "hard". I think by then you have it down to get moving through the levels. It will still be difficult ( with no health packs to carry and store for later on. You only get ones that increase you health when you walk over them from a limited amount of random guards. Once you finish hard I believe "silver weapons" are unlocked and that they have unlimited ammo ( not exactly sure about that since I haven't finished hard ).

Besides "BLACK" having the no save points...and buying it now for under $20.00 if you like shooters pick this one up!

    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
