Black

STORY / GAMEPLAY
The game's story follows the activities of a US strike force called BLACK and serves as a special protector of the American nation against foreign and / or domestic threats. Your primary objective as a Black commando is to get from point A to point B while torching everyone in your way. Although the action is hot and smoking like the barrel firing hundreds of rounds towards enemies, Black falls into a maze of linear gameplay and quite predictable AI.

GRAPHICS / SOUND
Black is surely a visual stunner and one of the best looking XBOX (and PS2) first person shooters. Criterion uses the stunning engine of their stellar Burnout racing game series. One of the best elements is its weapons' sounds while the game features some of the most gorgeous weapon visuals ever seen on these consoles. The character models and the game's environments are also extremely good proving that the Xbox could (and can) easily show some teeth in its graphics capabilities. Black is a very beautiful and intense game, that every XBOX user should try!
