"Black" mini-review
« on: September 21, 2013, 08:51:58 PM »


Black is a first-person shooter video game, developed by Criterion Games and published by Electronic Arts. It was released on 24 February 2006 for the PlayStation 2 and Xbox video game consoles. The game is notable for its heavily stylized cinema-inspired action as well as its award winning sound quality and focus on destructive effects during gameplay.

My input:

Black is one of the best game I have played on PS2. It's not a standard spray-and-pray shooter game, though much like "Call of Duty" for the fighting and much like "Battlefield bad company" for surroundings destruction. It was a cool game, heavily based on a cool story. There were no cutscenes, but instead there were normal videos, like a movie, revealing details of a story. Graphics were amazing at that time and it had the classical health-pack system, where your health wouldn't regenerate as if you were inhuman.
Apart from goodness, I really did not like that there were no auto-aim mode, which made the game very hard to play, and maybe that's for the better, but after some time it just gets annoying, when you shoot around an enemy without hitting it...

A side project ... well shit. If it was their main project it would have been a lot better, right? I'm going to see if I can get my hands on it.
