Black for Xbox Reviews by Gamers

I have played some pretty (censored)
shooters....and some very over hyped games...but this is by far my worst experience. Black Starts off with alot of appeal, and seems pretty solid, but after about...7 minutes of play you realize how incredibly boring and run of the mill it really is. they bragged about huge destructible environments and using the environment to your advantage; but really its about as destructive as half-life or red faction 2. The only things you get to blow up are little wooden crates or maybe part of a tree or (oh joy) the occasional fraction
of a tiny cottage; if you were wanting this game for it's "destructive" qualities go play The Hulk.
As far as "using the environment to your advantage" goes, all you get are red explosive barrels...which if you haven't noticed are pretty much part of EVERY FPS GAME on the market...
One last little thing...anytime you run across a door on the game, you can't just open it like a regular person would do, or even knock it down like a member of a s.w.a.t team would; Nope,
you have to be Mr. Billy Bad(censored) and blow it down with your shotgun or a grenade...anyways enough rambling here's an actual review

Story: 6: pretty typical for an FPS.

Sound: 8: wow...the easiest category to score well in.

gameplay: 4: repetitive, bland, cheesy...

control: 7: eh the controls are decent except for the fact you only get a dot instead of a cross hair and can't adjust the thumbstick sensitivity.

replayability: 0: i had enough trouble playing through the first time, i would probably rather take a bullet in the groin than play this game again...

rent or buy?

in my honest opinion...

go slap an executive of E.A in the face for making this pile.
