A gem for PS2 November 3, 2008
Nov. 2008 and I still find myself going back to the PS2 for hours on end. This game has well constructed physics and controls. It's all about the guns here as the package boasts and it's on point fun. I overlooked this non-stop shooter when it was released but now as I go back and buy up used PS2 titles this is defiantly one of my favorites.
 One of the best games for ps2 October 6, 2008
This is the a perfectly made game. If you love to be trigger happy this is the game for you.It has a good story line and gameplay. The only downside is you have to play the same missions over and over again.
Fun Game September 8, 2008
This is a very entertaining game with excellent graphics and weapon selection. It is one of the better shooter games that I have played in a long time. Although, there are a few drawbacks to the game. The character always drifts to the right during game play, which makes it hard to aim and shoot. Too much time and attention is needed trying to make the character stop drifting right. There is also no blood in this game. In the real world, there would be blood evident if someone were shot in the head. The only other drawback is that the game cannot be saved during play. If you get killed one second before you complete the stage, then you have to start from the beginning. Nevertheless, it is a very entertaining game that I highly recommend.
Kick A** game August 25, 2008
What a game !, for just a walk around game this is great, LOVE the breaking glass.
In most games as soon as you see them they see you ! DORING ! but this one gives you a chance in places to " Knock them off" before they see you, lots more fun.
The fact that the " BAD GUYS " can be busy shooting at the help is great gives you time to do them first !, very nice for a change..
Have given this game far to many hours then I should ! BUT well you know once you start this game SO hard to, PUT THE GUN DOWN ! LOL..GREAT SOUND also.
IF you get this game you will get LOTS & LOTS of fun out of it..TRUST ME.

Violent, Adult escapist fun August 8, 2008

After a full year of paying taxes, watching gas prices raise to extortionary levels; after another year helping young minds negotiate through the jungle of parts of speech, the worlds of John Steinbeck, Jack London and William Shakespeare as well as how to discriminate between a complete sentence and a fragment-helping young minds organize their thoughts in cohesive paragraphs and somewhat logical expressions; after working to design and allign a language arts curriculum; after exposing juniors and seniors to the wonders of FW Murnau, Akira Kurosawa, Alfred Hitchcock,John Ford Sam Peckinpah and Martin Scorsese and the language those visionaries use to bring the world to an eager audience; after coaching sixth graders on proper tackling techniques in football, posting up and rebounding techniques in basketball as well as directing high school actors to state championships and college scholarships as well as successful productions; after teaching the son to drive as well as drive his team to basketball camp, cross-country camp and summer conditioning; after celebrating a beautiful daughter's 19th birthday which has seen her become an honor student in pre-med (how the parent-plus loan will be paid is still up in the air); after cleaning the house, mowing the lawn, weeding the garden, making dinner and making sure the cars all have new tires and clean oil; after walking 35 miles a week in training for another WALKING marathon (old men don't run very well anymore)and doing 250 pushups, 200 situps and 100 crunches as the strength routine; after finally finishing William Faulkner's ABSALOM, ABSALOM (with its glorious two page sentences); after enjoying the complexity that was one of the finest movies that ever posed as a television series- HBO's five seasons of THE WIRE: it is pure visceral heaven just to switch on the Playstation 2 and blast a series of terrorists and their environments into the netheregions.
OF course the setting is still set on EASY. Granted, Level 2 still needs to be overcome (who knows what glorious descruction awaits?)- the controller has been easily customized to fit the more familar shooting style of MOH and this 41 year-old. All that aside, this violent, vulgar (F bombs drop frequently)action packed first person shooter is addictive and provides serious adult escapism for the sake of itself.
There is nothing morally redeemable about the game. It is all about killing. It is the type of game both Liberals and Conservatives rail against and that makes it all the more appealing.
The graphics are moody, stark and realistic. The sound design is subtle and layered and the action is swift, brutal and non-stop. The game features music worthy of a motion picture, the voice acting is fine (interesting how one of the "soldiers" sounds eerily similar to George W Bush) The body count is high. Sometimes the environment is a bit difficult to navigate through (just keep checking for landmarks when restarting) and the enemies are wearing body armor- so be prepared to unload a clip of AK-47 in order to eliminate the target. This game does take a good deal of time to get the hang of (at least for novice gamers).
In short, BLACK is carthartic entertainment. Well worth the price.
