me and a friend rented black out over the weekend (and completed it of course) and i really enjoyed it.
its not groundbreaking, its just lots and lots of simulated violence (read:fun).
i read a review which made a good point- black is comparable to the burnout racing games (also made by criterion) so far as that both games have sacrificed the 'realism' to enhance the 'gameplay'.
do you 'know' what im trying 'to' say?
id give it 4/5.
its definately a game that i want to play thro again.
the only drawback is a lack of a multiplayer option.
...so to feed our multiplayer fix, we've moved on to Splinter Cell - Chaos Theory.
theres only one thing better than simulated violence, thats sneaky simulated violence with a friend!
