Black

By far the best FPS on PS2. It has everything you need for the ultimate gunner. Brilliant looks. Amazing sound (especially surround sound). Plenty of guns in your arsenal for tons of fun. The first time I played it and heard the AK 47 getting emptied... OMG! But, it doesn't have much after finishing the story, except for Black ops mode, which is easy compared to medium and hard. And its a pity that you cant even jump! There is an occasional story to it. Well cm on now, everything has a story to it really right!? If it didn't then you don't know how the hell you got there to start off with. So i the story isn't deep, more like. Mediocre.

But still, One of the best FPS ever!!

The game started selling at thirty dollars, since no multi-player, and also the fact that it was short, even though I didn't finish it, but what it lacks in length, it makes up in everything else. EA and Criterian, (Sorry if I misspelled it) made the game, so it kicks butt. The game is known as "Gun Pornography," so if that helps, in other words GUNS ARE THE STARS. AI for your team members are top-notch, much better than enemy. (TRUST ME) I don't want to give anything away, except for the fact that you're a BLACK OPS member, and later in the game you betray orders, and so , yeah. ANyway, It's definitely worth a rent. I asked for mine on my B-Day, so technically I got it for free!

PROS: Good graphics, great sound, decent AI, great background sounds ( team mates etc.) CONS: No jump, invisible walls, long intro/unstoppable cinematics, not enough check points/ cannot save a partial mission ( XBox).

Decent game, but not the best by any means. In this day and age, not being able to jump and utilize all of your environment is plain ridiculous. And the invisible walls and small drop offs that prevent backtracking make this you feel like you are on rails at some points. The lack of check points/inability to save a partial mission are beyond frustrating, especially when every other FPS has this ability. A decent game, but anyone who thinks this is the best FPS ever obviously hasn't played one.

Ever had the feeling were you just have to shoot at something? No? Well I have and Black is the game I use for it. Basically there is no story to this game. Your just some grumpy soldier who releases his pent up aggression though shooting countless Terrorists. You just simply go through the levels shooting anything that moves and blowing up every thing that can explode. It kinda reminds me of 'Black Hawk Down' with the way it looks, settings and such. It is a pure joy to play. The special effects are brilliant to the point you think your there and actually get post-traumatic stress disorder, the graphics are also very good for a PS2 game. Plus there is a variety of lovely gunshot and grenade sounds to keep you entertained.

There are a few problems however. For example when you reload to screen goes all blurred apart from your gun and arm, and this happens in real life to. Also the cut scenes are awful. But that isn't exactly anything new for this genre of game. Overall though it is a pure joy to play and is one of the if not the best game on the PS2. Still, I'd play on Call of Duty 4 now... But I wont forget this.

First time i played this game was 11 or 12 years old ...I rent it from a shop and i wish i could buy it but I didnt ...I stopped playing ps2 for a big big period and when i started again i managed to find it and bought it 9 months ago .I missed this game so much.the first thought when i started to play ps2 was this game !It's the absolute gun porn...the missions the story the explosions the grenades are so brilliant especially the rpg .I have to admit is very difficult game at first when you dont know the missions and how to play but when you manage it this game becomes the love of your life. At least I have that feeling especially when i bet this game in all difficulties lots of times.
