BLACK is a 100% visceral experience, 100% of the time. It's engaging, enthralling, and moreover, it's simply the definition of fun imbibed into two analog sticks and a handful of buttons. You'll have an extremely hard time finding a game that does a better job at placing a gun in your hand and letting you blow the utter $@%* out of everything in front of you.

But in the end, that's all it is. While Criterion has basically nailed every single aspect of pure destruction via 1,412,758 bullets and a crateful of grenades, it's essentially as straightforward a shooter as they come.

It's somewhat odd to say this, but nearly every aspect of BLACK's strengths and weaknesses lie in its pinpoint focus. It's such a direct and no-holds-barred FPS that it almost entirely ignores the ways that other shooters have branched out in recent years and attempted to bring storytelling and outside emotions into their games. In this way, it feels like something's missing, something almost intangible. But at the same time, what BLACK attempts to do, it does so well that it's an experience that shouldn't be missed. This is a popcorn game through and through, but it's really damn good popcorn with the perfect amount of salt and butter to make it taste just right.
