Brief synopsis of BLACK

BLACK is the explosive first-person shooter from the award-winning Criterion studio, makers of the hit Burnout series. The game pays homage to every adrenaline-fueled Hollywood blockbuster to deliver hours of bang, boom, and rat-a-tat-tat.

Bullets pulverise plaster and splinter boards; bigger ammo breaks down doors and shears concrete from buildings in fat chunks. When you finish a level, itll look like a tornado hit it. This is no simulation-based, covert action shooterthis is an intense action gunner set to revolutionise video game shooting, squeezing out more power than anything before.

Overt Action: BLACK operatives do not hide in shadows or sneak behind walls waiting for the right time to engage their foe - they destroy the wall, the enemy, and anything else that gets in their way.

The Guns Are the Stars: An explosive arsenal of bleeding-edge weaponry lets you experience the awe-inspiring power of the worlds most exotic lethal firepower.

If You Can See It, You Can Shoot It: Reduce cities to rubble in a world where virtually nothing is impervious to your bullets.

Get Your Blood Pumping: Adrenaline is your friend. Visceral, destructive action sucks you deep into the gameplay as you blaze and blast your own path through open-ended environments.

BLACK-Style Kills: Use destructible worlds and explosive objects to take out enemies in cover, frag multiple enemies at once, or just wreak massive destruction for its own sake.

This game was brill. Was really hard and the gameplay was very fluent. Didn't get past the third level before I sent it back coz I thought it was good enough to own. Highly recommended for the FPS fan!

Rated - 3 starsLooks Great, but gets too hard - and you can't save when you want to!

A customer from London, England , 04/09/2006

I enjoyed this game - the graphics are really excellent and the gameplay is exciting. That said, I found that it got too hard very quickly. The fourth level is quite big, and takes forever - and the fact you can't save the game when you want to will drive you potty, as you end up redoing the same sections over and over again. Crazy mistake by the developers - they must have been out of their minds - ruins the whole game.

Rated - 2 starsNice, but not on a 360

A customer from Coventry, England , 21/07/2006

This looks and feels like a very good game but not one to get if you have an Xbox 360.

Even though Microsoft released the update some time ago to make the game compatible I found it was virtually unplayable.

The sound often get stuck in a loop and quite often you end up running round the level with no weapon at all :(

Wish I still had an Xbox to play it on.
