Play the Demo from XBM and wasn't a bad FPS. It was good. Graphics are neat and the controls very swift. Sounds are not that bad. Might pick it up for the old Xbox. I wonder why would this title came to the regular xbox and not the 360? hmm..anywho try for yourself.

I don't own an X-box, but my brother does and he's very much looking forward to this game. I can see why, too. It looks pretty awesome from all of the clips I've seen.

I just wish it was coming out for PC.

It's also for the PS2. It suppose to be better then Halo 2 from what I heard.

Yeah, maybe better single player campaign wise but I doubt it's better than any halo online

Multiplayer would be nice. I'm almost finish with the demo and I'm considering picking up a copy when is released.

Hey guys, just got black today

Pretty sweet game - the idea is simple: just shoot the hell out of... anything. It'll either die, or blow up and make people die.

I believe the game can be best summed up as this:

There isn't actually a button to open doors with: you just use your R trigger while you've got the shotgun out

Dave gives it the ol' thumbs up

Apparently it does for FPS's what Burnout did for racing games.

If it takes a stale genre like FPS and does something exciting with it then I give it the thumbs up.

It's a perfect console shooter. Rather than try to emulate the precise control of a PC game, like most FPS's try to do, and fail, it just says "have fun" and keeps the gameplay balanced enough for you to have a 'blast'. Ahem.

What's so different about this FPS from others?

is it comprehensible.....

It feels very fluid and natural, something you don't get with every game.

Graphics are swish, plenty of people to kill, plenty of guns, plenty of stuff to blow up.

I hope Criterion does a later 360 release like they are for Burnout Revenge, but I kept one XBOX, so I will get to play it no matter what.

Agree, this is more a FPS for the consoles and not for PC. Competition with the other FPS in the PC would belittle this title.

so are you getting this game?

I played the demo for Xbox today, was pretty cool. Way too short though, took me about 4 minutes to finish lol. But overall I'm impressed with the level of environmental destructability. I'll rent it when it's first released, then make a decision on whether I'm buying it or not.

But hey, it's only $40 so not bad OPM gave it a 4/5, mainly because it's nothing more than rampant shooting, and is by far the best on the PS2, but aside from that there isn't much more too it.

hey yea i have it reserved and im so hyped for it... its going to kick a** OMG I CANT WAIT

if you have it reserved, you'll have to wait.

is it comprehensible.....

I wasn't at first because I was finish with the regular xbox and was ready to jump to the 360. But now I'am getting the game.

I thought it was coming out for PC?

Rented it, loved it (on ps2)

bit short, but other than that, one of the most enjoyable games ive played in a while. nice weapons, good level design, great damage effects (from grenades and rockets).

worth a look, definately...

hows the multiplayer?

i just bought a sick fps but you can't put bots in the multiplayer, so its just me and one other person on the map which completely sucks cuz you can make your own maps to play in. i gotta pick up 2 more controllers and i'll be good.

The game got 9/10 from Game Reactor, seems like a pretty good game.

Sorry to dissapoint you, but there is zero multiplayer in Black.

This was 100% intentional all the way through development, according to Criterion studios. They said that they wanted to focus completely on the single-player campaign and make it incredible, which they pretty much did

But since the game is so freakin fun it's just begging for multiplayer (co-op especially)

But hey, it's only $40 and it's amazing, so I'm not complaining.

-Oh, and for those of you who didn't know, Black is supposed to be the first game in a trilogy.No doubt the "next" Black will come out on the next-jen systems. If they can pull off this kind of stuff on THIS generation of consoles, man think of the possibilities for the PS3 and 360.

/salivate

This game really is begging for multiplayer. I'd even go so far as to say that this would probably be one of the best multiplayer games for consoles...if it were multiplayer. Pretty fun stuff regardless, i just played the first two levels and enjoyed myself. Simple and fun says it all really.

can't wait to get this game. i'm gona play it through non stop.

that sucks man

when i was shopping for games and reading reviews on the net, all i read about on gamespot was black this and black that, its going to be awesome, blah blah blah. and now it doesnt even have multiplayer, dammit.

do you play it on easy or normal?

Rented this last night, its fun, but its nothing near what I hoped. Criterion has made a great staring point for a new franchise though.

the whole 'console only' is a disappointment though

The funny thing is that Gamespot didnt even give it a good review, 7.4 to be exact.

I think Black is appreciated for it's simplenes. Like Astro fan said "Criterion has made a great staring point". I can see a good future for the franchise in the next gen of consoles.

But could it be better if it wasnt "simple"?

I havnt played the game yet, and I'll probably never will because lack of console to play it and well, I dont know want to spend 60 bucks, but going from numerous sites like IGN, Gamespot, Gamespy and X-Play, it looks like the game is amazing the first hour of it, but around the 7 hour of it, it looks tedious because of the gameplay being the same throughtout.
( Im not saying this game sucks)
Im just saying, what if the developers added some dramatic narrative (as xplay mentioned) to spruce up the game? Wouldnt it make it better?

Hey check Black out it kicks ass. Big Guns Big Booms Good Fun

I've only played a few minutes of some forest level at Gamestop, but I had a good ole time blowing things away. I'll definitely have to buy it.

I have a PS2.

Is this game really worth buying?

I would say rent it. I did, and now I own it.

this game is freakin awesome, i just rented it and im gunna buy it l8er. better gameplay n graphics than both HALO's. only thing that really draws back on this game though, no jump button which makes it somewhat linear, and no mulitplayer mode..!!! wtf. thats messed up. if it had multi this game would be ultimate.

Dude! I completely had forgotten this game. Damn! I been completely suck up by Oblivion and Call of Duty 2.
