Very Satisfying Shooter, December 23, 2008
|
|
|
I loved this game. I can hardly think of any other shooter where you get a better feel of the damage your weapons are inflicting on your enemies or the game environment than Black.
The graphics - original x-box wise - are definitely above average. Sound direction is top-notch as well. The cut-scenes that serve to propel the "story" are kind of weak, but this game isn't really about telling a story. The scenes are only there to set up the action in the next level.
I found the game to be somewhat frustrating at times, but overall it was a very satisfying and rewarding experience.

"black" meaning black ops of course and ops short for operations.the term black ops refer to military manuvers that they dont admit they really did like sending troops into china during viet nam.this game has a really long entrance scene every time you turn it on.guns have few bullets,enemies regenerate if you stay still.there is danger everywhere!i mean EVERYWHERE!even the very first level is quite difficult to pass.its harder than some games' last level.its fast paced and screaming with adrenaline!a great military game for the patient and if youre not.....whered your head go?like the package says"every bullet is your baby".

 KABLOOM!!!, October 17, 2008

Ok, first off, I'm no game expert, so excuse me if I don't use the correct video game aficionado hoity-toity verbiage. Do you just like running around shooting everything in sight? I usually don't. While I would normally gag at the thought of such mindless gameplay; this game was different (although the cut scenes were fairly well done). Why? GUNS, GUNS, AND MORE GUNS!! EXPLOSIONS GALORE!! SO MUCH AMMO, SO MANY BAD GUYS!!. There is so much kabloom in this game it's friggin ridiculous; and the music during and between the action is top notch. And your reticule is this little tiny dot that adds a ton of reality to it, I think. I like the accuracy aspect to it. One straight round to the head, or 10 rounds everywhere else; you choose. The graphics are very good (for an xbox game). No strategy. All kabloom. No guilt. Gotta love it.
There was only one thing that I didn't like in this game.. There are several annoying little ramp thingies (yeah, I know it's not a word) in every level that prevent you from backtracking. Half the time you don't even recognize them until your already over them. Presumably, it's to let you know your headed in the right direction, right? Problem is, maybe you're just wondering around the map looking to complete your objectives, but no, mr. developer guy says if you've wondered this far without completing your objectives, that's too d**N bad, there's no going back; so, if you haven't completed enough objectives, guess what? You only get to unlock the next mission level one difficulty level down from the difficulty level you started the previously level with. If you want to start the next level at the same difficulty, you have to start the previously level all over again and complete enough objectives. It's like getting a middle-finger to your face after you put in all this hard-earned work. Lesson? Watch your step (especially when leaving or entering big buildings).
Oh, yes. Did I mention all the guns?

Nuts! Absolutely Nuts!, February 27, 2008

I don't like blood and gore honestly. Even if it's real, it's just a taste thing. I frickin' love this game! It's honestly one of the most violent games I've played, if that gives you any indication of the games I have played, and it's also one of the best!
First of all, the sound design is top notch. The guns are LOUD and if you're wearing a good pair of earphones, prepare to be deafened! The machine guns reverberate in your ear, the shotguns are like cannons, grenades rock the room, mines makes your ears bleed, the woosh of the RPG's! The game get's a five star rating simply because of that!
There's also no bs in this game like solving puzzles or anything like that. It's a pure shooter with a bonus. Hiding behind a wall, a column, or any other cover for that matter, it starts falling apart as your enemies start to shoot at it. It adds to the realism and the terror and it makes you improve your aim and your reaction time.
Backrounds are picture perfect. Deep shadows, light coming through windows, blinding you if their behind an enemy. Everything looks as real as it can get.
I deeply enjoy the fact that the cutscenes are live action. It doesn't have the same effect as say HALO of dropping you into the scene, but it does set them up well and is done in a very artistic way.
I guess the only criticism that I have is that your "teammates" that fight along side you can't shoot for s***! There's no co-op mode for split screen chaos, but that's all I can say!
It's simply crazy and cool adrenaline rush!
