Video Game Reviews of Black
Customer Review: KABLOOM!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
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?
