Black: Review

Overall, I had some fun playing Black. I don’t see myself playing through the entire game again. I’ve already played some of the levels through a second time, which was just as fun if not more with infinite ammo.

The Blackness Cometh

Judging by the amount of emails I’ve received over the past couple days asking “you’re playing Black? how is it?”, I’m assuming people actually check out my Currently Playing section.

So, how is Black you ask? It’s just as rad as you were hoping it would be! Criterion have taken their desire for extremely fast paced action with tons of shit blowing up that made the Burnout series so great and applied it to a first person shooter. I was fully expecting this game to be pure run-and-gun, but it’s not entirely. There’s actually a strategic element to it where you’re forced to use cover to get around well hidden enemies. It’s very tough at times as just about everything in the environment can be destroyed. So that concrete wall you’re hiding behind might not be there in 5 seconds.
