Classic Game Room HD - BLACK for PS2 review

[madgamer099]

sequel plz

[deeppurple28]

Black >> Cod!

[TombstoneInc]

BEST THING ABOUT THIS GAME, is that its available ON THE XBOX ORIGINALS for download at 800 MS POINTS!!!!!! you can relieve this classic underated gem.

[TombstoneInc]

This is one of the greatest FPS games ever. This game right here, i had no idea about. Playing PS2, i had all the COD's, Medal of Honors SOCOMS, and ya know i never even knew of this game. But i was bored and decided to try something new. Well i saw this game simply called Black, it was a FPS, i was going to try a different Genre, but i got it. AND IT BLEW ME AWAY. The graphics the destruction, simply amazing for the time. THIS GAME deserves a sequel, with multiplayer and all the good stuff.

[almaize0794]

I don't mean to tell you how to commentate or review a game, but it kinda just bugged when you said this was kinda like modern warfare. Of course this game came out before modern warfare so you at least respect the game enough to call it "original" in that sense.

[MrSerkanSaral]

I use AK-47 and G36C better in this game.

[SCOTTISHFILMFAN]

Play the game on the really hard level and you wont breeze through it - its very challenging , this game is one of the best FPS's ive ever played - only that sucked a bit was the saving system

[MrNygord]

This surely brings back A LOT of memories.

[nfire4]

My friend gave me this game and it was pretty good. Never could get past the level where your in trench like mazes and RPG's are shooting at you from time to time.

[JHskating]

There is ps3 and Xboxes but I still keep playing this! Awesome for ps2 game!

[DannyV1991]

i beat this game in 2h 58m on hard and i only died thrice

[Axel1797]

@DannyV1991 U suck.. I beat it in 2h 58 m and 59 secs!!!

[ipodtouch1996]

@Axel1797 That's 59 seconds longer then the other guy...

[DannyV1991]

@ipodtouch1996 it's a joke dude i laughed!

[DannyV1991]

@Axel1797 LOL

[Axel1797]

@Axel1797 I meant 2h 57 mins and 59 secs.. wow fail

[2259Douglas]

kkk AK 47 Cromada 1:00

[2259Douglas]

pior missao do jogo 0:35, estou a quase 1 mes tentando passar por ela no modo hard

[johnrock882]

@2259Douglas why are you speaking portuguese here?

[MrCanadiankid77]

Ah, so many good times playing this on my original xbox. :)

[Wargreymon559]

@MrCanadiankid77 Lol this is only on ps2 not xbox xD,

[DannyV1991]

@Wargreymon559 it's on xbox and PS2. look it up on IGN dot com

[AlexCail]

awesome but short game.

[fluffinatra]

Welcome Redditors!!

[5JACKHOFF5]

LIEK DIS IF U CREI ERVY TIEM

[GManPerfected]

still have the demo disc for this from back in the day!

!

[freddamgaard]

the sequel should be called "2 black"

[ogiknez2002]

igrica je strava

[sixstringscumdog]

This was the epic fps before call of duty got so popular.

[sammyvhalo]

i remember playing this game for the xbox and its badass that i still can play this on the 360 cuz this was a BADASS FUCKING GAME!!!!!!!!!!!

[MrLee192Gversion]

One of my favourite games from back in the day. It really blew my mind.

[chadachada123]

"Black is a molotov cocktail of bodacious bitching blastorama." Truer words have never been spoken.

Favorite shooter on the Xbox for me.

[MitchieCookie123]

I saw this on xbox marketplace and didn't even hesitate to buy it. I loved this game on ps2.

[MrLormer]

this game rocks! i was in awe of its graphics the first time i saw it. wish they could make a new sequel about this and call it...WHITE.

[Quan7kyle]

@MrLormer naw dont call it white just call it double black or black 2 lol idk id buy the sequel regardless

[PietroFuuulano]

PSM3 just announced a sequel of a shooter

This shooter I think

[OrdoMallius]

@PietroFuuulano

considering that 99% of games today are shooters it's a ..long shot

[x08failed]

is it wrong that i want my ps2 back just so i can get this game, my ps3 doesnt play ps2

[AlFajar32Vidioz]

easy medium hard black ops I've'

[7skido]

This game is better even in 2012 I want Black 2 on PS3 otherwise I'm no more buying EA games

[br00tality]

total fucking bro, Timesplitters is #1

[supercrapnstuff11]

5:35, HE SAYS BLACK OPS WHAT THE HELL!

[Lannnyto]

@supercrapnstuff11 Yeah, there's more to the phrase "Black Ops" other than the COD game, son.

=/

[supercrapnstuff11]

if they make a sequel what would they call it, cuz black 2 sounds cheesy

[flipmode23SKATE]

@supercrapnstuff11 Back 2 black ;)

[supercrapnstuff11]

@flipmode23SKATE thats HORRIBLE but also funny as hell!

[JOSKE123100]

GIVE ME A HD RE-RELEASE AND A SEQUEL, AND GIVE IT TO ME NOW!! XD

[CaptainRidley]

HD Re-release please? Give it 7.1 HD audio and online coop and you have a winner!

[hamedsamdi19972]

I want BLACK 2 for PS3 this YEAR !

[SupaKoopaTroopa800]

Ha. I remember this game. It was absolutely kickass!

[starman60200]

love it.

[thetreblerebel]

just love running through the levels with the silver weapons and tearing shit up!!

[DaKerni]

Sad that I've never bought it myself. I have seen it standing in the shelfs took a look at the back, read 1 Player and put it back into it. How hard could it be to only make one fucking game a 4 Player Splitscreen Coop Shooter game where you can play the whole game with 3 of your best friends at your side. Nowadays I'm sitting 100 m away from my friends house playing some shitty MW3 online with him only speaking through a microphone. And Yes i say it again Call of Duty MW3 is shit!In my opinion!

[sarai90210]

best game for PS2.. good graphic and story, unfortunately there's no continued sequel

[LeroySHANKTON]

Mw2 and Mw3 are all expansions for CoD 4

[waseem1173]

HAH i remember this, i bought way back in the day for my PS2 because the cover seemed cool lol  It never ran on my system tho :/

[OCTI876]

Oh why why wasnt this on PC. Would have enjoyed it even more with Mods etc. Still I love IT, Was fortunate to Be able to play it both on the Xbox and the Ps2.

[korolengk0y]

Haha. FUN!

[Bilzo599]

but unfortunately they had to fuck up the sequel, its good dont get me wrong but just no where near as good as it should be

[Pimpczar2011]

The hype surrounding this game is well deserved.Gonna add this game along with the latter 02 TS games mentioned

[WikiWaki91]

i really need to add this game to my game collection!!

[Jankifrank]

@WikiWaki91 me too!!!XD

[DarkAngel3753]

Aaahh, man, the good ol' days. I loved this game. Favorite FPS for PS2 by far. Totally set the standard for all modern FPS's

[nakamine1713]

The gameplay is pretty lame...better than that shit killzone game though.

[Cortarelcuello]

what can i say..FUCK PS3

[ViciousAlienKlown]

I have this game on my Original Xbox and its a great game....Its the real Symphony of destruction.

[dajokaman759]

was this game made by the frostbite engine?

[matrixmairo]

@dajokaman759 since when do graphics engines make games?

[estivador64]

should use the "frostbite 2" to make a sequel to Black II for ps3!! what you think?

[oliverandm]

pretty sick graphics for a PS2 game - i remember when this released and the employees at GameStop were in awe haha, "you don't want this you want THIS!" - i dont know what i was buying, but they would always redirect me to this and telll me about the graphics

[luisgustavodaluz]

Black is fucking amazing,buuut......Timesplitte­r Future Perfect is the best PS2 FPS in my opinion

[vsertac]

siktigimin oyunu yaa :)))

[battlefield022309]

Somebody should remastered this game for the ps3, anyone?

[TOMPSAR]

This was one of my favourite Ps2 games ever ! <3 I miss the ps2 ! but ....well BF3 on xbox360 and pc is so much fun !!

[Scottish995]

Meanwhile, before call of duty.

[KonZhighcl3ric]

I really want to play a black a little more realistic, and ONLINE

[Skaarj11]

wow this game almost looks like a PS3 game, amazing!

[johnrock882]

@Skaarj11 not really, still has good graphics though.

[JoaoFranciscoDuarte]

i think i am the only one who didn't enjoyed this game all that much...

[teddy12300]

body count suck this game kicks ass wtf

[GuitarrAssassin]

am i the only one thinking how black ops copied this? think about it. you're a special forces soldier being interrogated by a government agent and is played through flashbacks.

[93bendzsi]

Remember playing this on my old xbox, those good old days

[tkoizumi]

wow... for a second there I've thought he miss titled the PS2. I got this game for myself and I couldn't believe how well this game was made in graphical department. The only thing that was lacking was HDR or Bloom.

[yousellouts]

I could never really get into this game much because the levels were too long and hard but the graphics were amazing if this game was released today the graphics would be amazing or standard.

[navid617]

i only pity i couldnt jump

it made the game hell harder

by the way can someone tell me how long is this game

[navid617]

it makes me think:

well i saw the climax graphix of my ps2

[Lionheart1188]

Lol this game looks better then MAG @_@

[ThatBoredShow]

@Lionheart1188 because mag had to render 256 players in one gigantic map while online. so to do that at a sustainable fps they had to lower the textures, fov, and all those special effects that make a game look nice. the next generation of consoles will hopefully be able to have a game like mag with these graphics. *cough* pc can..  learn your stuff bro

[Lionheart1188]

@ThatBoredShow Learn your stuff bro! Wtf 0_o

What you just mentioned I already knew about, I was just making a quick joke BRO! --_--

[falariem]

BLACK deserves a sequel.

[philonetic]

@falariem

It deserves an entire series. Its campaign puts all new FPS (BF3, MW3) campaigns to shame. Deserves an entire series with online play.

btw is anyone else sick and tired of every single FPS having all these "intel items" that are hidden all over the place? When did FPS start to mean treasure hunt with a gun :/

[Bloodthr0e]

WARNING: Playing this game may cause global warming.

[Megadude460]

SOUNDS GOOD

[SocomFanatics]

Men creating the second sequel of this game is really complicated

[MegaSgame]

"In a recent interview, co-creator and designer Stuart Black revealed that plans for "Black 2" were underway, but are now scrapped due to differences with Electronic Arts. Stuart Black and many of the developers of Black worked on the now released "Bodycount", a "spiritual successor" to the game which, developed by Codemasters, was released on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 during Q3 2011"

[aRMEd8uLL]

@MegaSgame That sound valid. When watching this review I noticed that Bodycount is a lot like this game.

[MrLormer]

@MegaSgame dafuq? that's the sequel?! it's pretty shitty. TO HELL TO THEM!

[MegaSgame]

@MrLormer not the sequel, only the same developers

[basharkayal]

the graphics its better than blackops

[AllEverythingHere]

BEST GAME EVER.....AND FUCKING UNDERRATED

[TailsTheGamer]

Why are the top comments the same. I love this game. :D

[TheEpicFlojd97]

@TailsTheGamer WOW never heard anyone complain about that before...

[TailsTheGamer]

@TheEpicFlojd97 WOW I haven't heard a reply like that before. (By the way. Happy New Year.)

[TailsTheGamer]

@TheEpicFlojd97 By the way. My Question was not complaining. I was simply asking a question.

[PerfectBlade20]

This is not the best looking ps2 game, looks like most others on the system,god of war 2 looks way better

[Masterpiece55555]

the graphics are better then mw2 (and mw 2.5) and the rest is just gunporn

[matrixmairo]

@Masterpiece55555 for MW3 being a MW2 expansion, it's pretty good!

new guns, new graphics, a whole entire new campaign and a new gamemode is pretty rare in an expansion these days.

[shmoozii]

@Masterpiece55555 people dont play this game because its gunporn, people play it cause its fun. sames goes for COD.

[Masterpiece55555]

@shmoozii ok

[Danox94]

Awesome graphics

[JackBandicootsBunker]

One of the most visually impressive PS2 games I've seen. It looks even better than some XBOX or GC/Wii games, which had better hardware.

Also, the fun factor was such that it becomes more and more addictive.

[greentray123]

why is it every video i go to that is a different fps game rather then COD someone mentions COD WTF!!!

[jacksonbrendon]

kkkkkkkk

[luckypat1]

@valentineO29 and its for ps2

[TheAnimefanatic96]

i smell a remastered HD version

[elmarine13]

si este juego el black hizo tanta fama deveria haver el 2 y mas

[raymanfan9999]

Hehe black

[cabsk8er7]

Does this game have a survival mode? Black 2 should have a survival mode.

[cabsk8er7]

This pretty much made the standard for modern shooters.

[alexis16gr]

THE BEST GAME EVER!!

[EIDictador]

i want BLACK 2 really bad, if they do make it lets hope they dont fuck it up like Bodycount

[abdulasisov]

BLACK is one of the best FPS games out there, instant classic!

[Mobster124156]

This Game Has Like Better Graphics Than Mw2 Mw3 Or Even Batllefield 3

[limitsora69]

if we made the explosions more fiery and bigger and we had more of them, i would call it a new game

[zoff666517]

I love this game! way better than MW3 or Battlefield 3!

[grandmasterauto]

This was theclosest thing to destructablity back then, till battlefield 3 was created. :)

[ProjectNeroStorm]

@grandmasterauto Till Bad Company was created you mean?

[grandmasterauto]

@grandmasterauto whichever you see fit.

[awesomekids05126]

bro best game ever

[RaidenHeaven]

For a PS2 game the graphics are insane.

[glitchedgamer]

I found this game to be very generic feeling. Action was fun, and those graphics pushed the PS2 to the limits, but it still bores me because there is nothing remotely original about it.

[MrWatchmen759]

so your telling me this game is for the ps2 and it has amazing graphics like that wow

[Jer0meLey]

better than mw3, give us black 2 and it gonna be better than mw4 xD

[dgmtimok]

I couldn't beat the last part of the last level, even on Easy... '-.-

[dgmtimok]

this game holds the best ps2's graphics

[d3kk1s]

my favourite fps ever!

[xXlolz567Xx]

This game was my first step into the FPS genre, and it is one of the best i have ever played, I think this game was way ahead of its time and is a definite buy. (plus its cheap as shit right now)

[OoJaooO]

Primeiro jogo de gráfico *-*

[DayoOntheTube]

Before this game I hated FPS's, now I have a hard time playing third person shooter games.

[prodical666]

my favorite PS2 shooter

[GAM3R0525]

if they make a sequel to black they should make it exactly the opposite and they should call it white

[2828gem]

hola a todos tengo una pregunta black tiene una segunda parte?

[DaKillAhChApIn2k11]

@2828gem No.

[wwedude121]

A PS2 game with PS3 and Xbox 360 graphics...YES!!

[mrroto789]

look a this game amazing grapics and look the call of duty black ops for wii grapics like a joke i mean a game realized in 2006 as better grapics than a game of 2011 sooo

[danielparthenis]

the graphics on this game surpass most of the ps2 games in the ps2 library , i mean when i saw this on a trailer without seeing what it plays on , i thought it was a ps3 game :p

[KonZhighcl3ric]

Imagine black with more guns and miltiplayer mode :o

[AkimboJavelin]

The Frostbite 3 engine was used in this game.

[theCeilingPancake]

Y U NO GIV US BLACK 2?!?!?! This was my favourite PS2 game :')

[DarkVengeans]

im getting ps3 this christmas but i will always love my ps2

[ConanED13]

The best game everrrrr and IN MY OPINION The best shooter game ever better that MW3 and B3 ( NO EFANCE FANS ) but its an opinion....

[ConanED13]

[baikoleda1]

PSN PLS make HD remake on PS Store :)

[drier123q]

@baikoleda1 Who needs a remake it looks freakin great already!

[Afrosamuraiyo]

The top comment is about MW3... /facepalm

I miss playing this game. It was amazing.

[Trancemaster2052]

I've never played this game but it looks frickin awesome. And isn't this an older game from like 2005 or 2006? The graphics look outstanding.

[mod3rnwarfare1]

this and killzone are the best ps2 games

[JmanBan3]

[MrPlaystationboy]

this is one of those games where when you play it after youre used to 720p or 1080p reselution trough a hdmi cable for a while ... when i play black on my ps2 using composite cables you realy do forget that youre playing a game in sd reselution

[NerdyTurd307]

@MrPlaystationboy yeah it is pretty sweet, i still haven't gotten around to completing black and killzone, bcuz my ps2's keep on breaking :,-(.

BTW most games on the ps3 don't even play at 720p. CoD is at 600p, BF3 is at 704p, R3 is at less than 700p and bodycount isn't anywhere near 720p. it only says 720p/1080i/1080p on the back bcuz it's upscalled to that resolution to make sure every TV won't have alignment problems.

[Bodem2086]

Hey mark what's ur number one favorite fps :D
