I dont get why you people say it is so short, i mean if you take your time and have fun with it, and play on the hardest setting its a good 30-60 minutes for one mission, then there ALOT more missions, its alot of fun..i got it for $20 at Game Stop, and yes the graphics are amazing on the PS2, and Yes they are making a Black 2 for the 360 and PS3

I missed Unreal 2, have a copy of the first one around, just doesn’t cut it though. I’ll have to check the second one out.

Best FPS multiplayer I’ve played lately is From Russia With Love. Takes a little while to get used to but it does a really good job evening things out across various skill levels. i.e. it frustrates you that the person you just finished killing spawns beside and kills you, but it gives both sides closure.

@Dave: Have you played Unreal Championship 2? Pure multiplayer FPS goodness. You can load it up with bots too.

The promo codes give you a bfg for the first level.

Haven’t quite finished it yet, the game yet but I’m not in a huge rush. You have to be willing to sit down for at least 45 minutes to complete a level, it’s kind of annoying. I like it though, it’s a fun fps… it feels kind of like playing Burnout with guns.

What I want is decent multiplayer that doesn’t need Xbox Live. Xbox games don’t give you the extra meatbots to shoot when you’re playing a living room game with four people.

I had high hopes for that game. Now I don’t know. With so many games out there with more replay value, Perhaps I should just rent it.
Awesome blog, as always. I linked to you on my blog,at http://official-xbox.blogspot.com/ I will do my best to mention your site as often as possible. Please keep up the phenomenal job. Thanks so much.

Did you see on digg where someone hacked the flash site and found a promo code for those that preordered the game? I believe it got you a rocket launcher or something.

Looks like a lot of fun, I love the touches, as you mentioned, like the blurred background when vision is focussed on the gun during a reload.

Shame about it’s length then.

I’m with you on the review matt. I picked my copy up yesterday morning since I had the day off and plowed through a couple levels on normal, lookedat my percent done and figured i have a long ways to go when in reality I was told I’m closing in on the end.

The game altogether is fun but in the next 2 installments, I’m sure there will be multiplayer. You can basically look at this one as the demo for the next two.
