This game is the shit!

I thought I was burned out on console FPS games till I hooked this up.

It just feels really, really good to play. It has some strange pacing (i.e. it never changes) but it is visceral, relentless and the destructible environments are fun.

And best sound ever in a game? Its definately up there.

I've been told it is ridiculously short though... not sure how far I am through it.

But yeah, nice game.

It lets you shoot things rapidly and with massive damage, i enjoyed it. Finished it in one evening.

I've been going back through this game on Hard and actually having kind of a blast. The checkpoint system is pretty lame but it's still fun.

Love shooting a guy 14 times and he's still standing!

I'm not sure if it's just me, but normal seemed harder than hard.

 

[Raistlin]

Did you play it in order (normal then hard)?


Maybe it seemed like it got easier because you simply got better at the game, and also know the layout?

Heh, actually i did "hard" first.

Pfft, headshots were much more satisfying. I had something like a 40% headshot rate on my first play through.

 

[The Mighty Schwein]

HEADSHOTS! Hah, real men use shotguns and rocket launchers. And BFGs.

 

[Kolgar]

I agree; loved the game. It was loud, pretty, atmospheric, and fun. And it lasted me about 12 hours.

I'll play it again while I wait on word of a sequel.

 

[Ranger X]

Nice FPS. Beautifull, straight in-your-face action, nice destructible. This game is underrated at GAF.

These positive impressions won't last long, I can just feel the hate squad approaching. I'm thinking about picking this up, which version should I pick-up? Xbox or PS2?

It's the Burnout phenomenon all over again here. The Xbox and PS2 version both kick ass. Take the version for the console with your favorite controller.

 

[sprsk]

Dont buy this game.

(hate bragaid is here btw)

 

[Ranger X]

Oh shit the hate crew had arrived!!! *starts alarm*

pweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

 

[fartblast]

game f&cken rules

best rental ive ever had

 

[Speevy]

I may pick it up one day, but FPS really have to be something special to warrant a buy from me.

 

[squicken]

It is a very mediocre game. For the first 30 minutes, it's awesome. After that, it's very meh.

 

[yjs666]

A crappy console FPS with extremely bad graphics on the PS2 version. Pass.

This is backwards compatible on Xbox 360 right? Anyone tried this? (maybe I'll rent it but I've had some bad experiences with b/c)

 

[Gearharaden]

This game is shit!

Fixed.

Yes. I played it on 360. I had a couple of reset inducing glitches, which is annoying b/c Black has a terrible save system. There has been an update subsequent to my playthrough, so it probably works better now.

Thanks, I think I'll sleep on this one some more then

 

[Zabojnik]

Very solid game, great presentation, but it lacks the scope and later on gets too repetitive and a little bit annoying (the damage model really is ... strange). The same problem I have now playing Urban Chaos: Riot Response. Not bad, with potencial to make a great game, didn't make it, tho.

The hell? Graphic quality is contextual. This game simply kick the PS2 graphic chip in the nuts.

 

[FrenchMovieTheme]

just got this game and it's pretty awesome. graphics are gorgeous (i'm playing the xbox version on xbox 360). so far the environments have been pretty varied (cities, forests, etc). i only have 2 problems with the game:

1. there seems to be a "i'm hurt!" animation by the enemies after you shoot them. when they are in this animation, you can't shoot them again for damage. kinda sucks but ive been getting more headshots lately so maybe that is the answer.

2. are there any checkpoints in this game? i pretty much have to go from level beginning to level end without dying. it wasn't so bad the first couple levels but now its getting tougher.

anyhow i only rented the game from gamefly, but i will probably buy it when it's $19.99. definitely one of the top console FPS


edit - also to the guy who said the graphics suck.... what the ****? i haven't played the game on ps2 but if it is more or less the same as the xbox version the graphics are probably the best the system has to offer
