    Good game, not really a cover based type more a run and gun, levels are huge and lots of side missions to do, what makes this game though is the destruction engine. Buildings, walls, everything breaks can be destroyed.

    Despite some significant drawbacks, this game is still one of the best fps of all times.
    Realistic graphics, entertainment and environmental destruction - 10/10

    You play as US special soldier dealing with some plot in authotarian regimes and terrorists. Bright sides of the game are relatively open "corridors" and some mission have semi open world what is cool for PS2 game. Graphics are really timeless even some games nowadays have not some effects like this. Mood of the game feels like thriller sometimes. Sounds are same quality.

In some missions you are not alone but they arent your followers.AI react smart in some ways like soldiers. You can collect things on your way like documents and some CDs I think. Bad sides of the game is story what is total dissapointment for me.You wait and nothing interesting came after you finished the mission nor the game.Sometimes you feel just you shoot your way up to the finish and thats all. I feel more part of the world and story in Doom than in this game.Game should be longer.And authors dont wanna mock some countries so countries have differentt names but you know what country is it :D Russia is named Treneska for example. Worth to play but nothing for me.… Expand

    Without a doubt one of the best FPS on PS2, it is simply incredible. Al tho it only has story mode and it lacks re-playability, i would consider it more fun and realistic than the Call of Duty story mode. HOWEVER. This game has a high difficulty, which i consider important to say, but not something that will lower his score. I recommend playing the game in Hard, since the game feelsWithout a doubt one of the best FPS on PS2, it is simply incredible.

    Taken as a whole, BLACK is just your average first-person shooter.

    "Gun-porn" turns out to be the most accurate descriptor anyone slapped onto the game. I mean, how many times can you rewatch the same bit of pr0n before you're completely unstimulated by it? It's intense for the first experience, but completely diminishing returns every time after that.

    An action movie given digital, interactive form. It's a relentless, constant barrage of sensory input, and it's done in a way that no developer thus far can match. Immersive, beautiful and a blast to play, BLACK is a must-have.
