I remember a mission where you have to be stealthy in the woods and you were able to screw/unscrew your silencer onto your pistol, that blew my mind as a kid. the level of detail and animations were crazy for the time
007 Nightfire had this feature and I loved it. Felt just like Bond, coldly screwing the suppressor on before stealthing around. To this very day, most games make you go into customisation menu and change your loadout to add them!
@@MrHammers I remember Gulag best level on these genre by any game. It was impossible to beat on hard. It took me 30 restarts to unlock silver weapon. Problem was I was poor my TV wasnt crystal clear like Monitors now.
@@MrHammers I loved this game til FarCry 3 came. I wasnt fan of 1st person cause Im more Lara Croft camera style gamer but after I played this on PS2 and Far Cry 3 on PC cemented my love. Today I love Generation Zero best game by any mean in this genre I even dare to rank over Far Cry 4.
I really love the fact that they use mp5 sound effects from Die Hard and Predator. that sound will always be the most deadly automatic gun sound to me :D
I found this game in a flea market. It was already the ps4 generation so I knew that new great looking stuff was out, but I remember being blown away by how good this game looked, from the home screen to the game itself. Not a single other game on the ps2 I owned looked this good.
best feature of this game was the way your screen focused during a reload. Just hitting reload would blur the world beyond your weapon and you'd reload faster, or you could tap reload again and bring the environment into focus and blur your weapon with a slight delay in reload speed. Never seen another game do it and it really set this game apart in my mind.
This definitely has that "game released an asshole hair away from that generations end" magic, looking like an early PS3 game. God of war 2 has that going on too 👌💪
I have a personal connection to this game. Not that I helped develop or knew anyone associated with it. When the game came out I was living in Florida and working for a private security company. My call sign for that company was Echo -51, just like the main character in Black.
I love playing this game as a kid and the graphics blew my mind back then. The Forest level is very realistic looking. There's a detail I want to point out is reloading is much faster when chaos happens. I also love this game gives us infinite ammo if you beat the game on Easy. Yes the other difficulty also gives infinite ammo if you beat it. I always had a fun time with this game and this game had a special place in my heart.
One of my most cherished games from that era. The destructible environments were phenomenal for its time, only perhaps rivalled by something like Red Faction: Guerilla. A remake of this with an extended campaign to cover off the cliffhanger ending from the OG version would be beyond amazing.
The musical score for the game was composed by an Academy Award winning hollywood composer, Michael Giacchino who had done scores for movies like the Batman (2022) and some pixar movies like Up and Ratatouille.
Me and my best buddy used to play this for hours. You said it, there was nothing else like it. The closest thing I can think of is battlefield: bad company, and that came a couple years later.
My favorite section in that game was the final battle area on Graznei bridge (The level before the last one). You walk in. The orchestra kicks in. Two MG nests start spitting out lead. Your two squad mates are yelling at your character and your character yells "We're gonna get cut to pieces! Drop the guy on high ground!" Then after a while, one of your squad mates yells "RPG!" and you see a rocket flying next to your face. Chef's kiss for that fight. It was so memorable and it will always hold a special place in my heart
I remember the day I bought this game. Standing in line at game stop, talking to other people buying games. I think we all lived through the best days of video games and this game ties me to those memories.
Black is one of those games that, once you get older, you realize it's not the best game of the world, neither "one of the bests". It's just a good and fun game to play, and that's ok because there's some kind of charm in games like this, games that no matter when you play, they're always a good time.
odd fact, the shell casings you dispense never disappear, each bullet you use will appear on the ground and stay there throughout the whole game, theres also an alex jones reference in the game relating to bohemian grove, this game has too much attention to detail, one of the ps2 titles to use ragdoll physics, love this game.
Black, Red Faction and Battlefield Bad Company did the same thing with destructible environments as F.E.A.R did with enemy AI - it led us to think at the time that future FPSs would become absolutely crazy in those regards. Now look at what we have _over 15 years_ later - nothing that even comes close to those old games. The FPS genre didn't evolve from there. It didn't even just stagnate. It moved backwards and only had a few cosmetic surgeries, thanks to hot garbage like Modern Warfare.
i remember playing this on my ps2 when it came out for hours on end. my brother would be in the same room listening to nelly, chingy, cassie, the game. man. what an era.
I remember exactly where I was when I first played this game. It was a fair in Bakersfield, CA that had some Xbox’s set up to play Black and buy copies. Me and my buddy sat and played for way too long and came back to the booth like three times. Good day. Finally got a copy of my own and I will never get rid of it.
I remember playing this game with my brother on our PS2. The first time it loaded my first thought was "damn the graphics are elite" when comparing it to the other games we had.
hugely underrated game imo. it combined a realist setting with stylised, hyper realistic violence. it's easy to reduce it to its fundamental gameplay mechanics and encounter design and write it off as just another shooter. but sometimes form has a function all of its own.
As a person who never played black and had a PC which a year prior had just released F.E.A.R, Black felt like it was the consoles answer to FEARs gunfu.
F.E.A.R. is most definitely the better game, but console vs PC in that generation was a big unfair advantage. Black was a good attempt at what FEAR excelled in
@@MrHammers certainly it was definitely not a fair comparison and I do remember I was very interested in black when it came out. Apparently Sean Murray From hello games was a creative director I think on this game.
I never got around to playing this one. But my mind always painted it as a prestigious PS2 title. Maybe it was because it came out so late in that console’s life cycle, but I also found the game’s simple title and bullet filled box art to be so classy.
Being a 36 year old man, it's quite a strange feeling for me to hear someone say "My dad used to play this game" about a game that I used to play. And yes, I have no children yet.
Ah, nam, forgot about this game. Remember bits and pieces of the game play, but do recall loving it and playing it loads. Still got my PS2 and games, so might have to dust it off one day... Cheers.
Heard this was good when it came out, never bought it, then eventually bought in on xboxone as a back compat game, never finished it, but this video makes me want to go back to it.
I won't lie, your reviews get me interested to try out all these PS2 games that I missed out on. They're what got me to try out Urban Chaos: Riot Response and Area 51. Now I'm interested to try out Black for myself. BTW that opening bit about renting videos and games got me nostalgic like you wouldn't believe. Especially since my local rental store went out of business in 2020. Thanks Covid.
I replayed this game so many times, it felt like you had to replay it several times to unlock all the secrets. The hardest one I remember was probably the destruction one where you had to destroy everything in every level that would make the reticle turn black when placed over it indicating that it could be destroyed. Most of the time you would need something explosive to do it or the RPG with its range to hit stuff out of reach, like in that trench maze level where you're surrounded by apartment buildings that can have their sides blown off to kill the snipers.
Black was a random buy and purchase for me way back when and I can whole heartedly say every single line and sentiment of this review was spot on and true! Simplicity was indeed king and what made this title as great as it was!
You forget About the Soundtrack, its was Really amazing, And Theres a lot of details In this game, Like When theres no Enemies Around you, The reload was kinda Slower like he Enjoying it.
makes me smile knowing this great game is still living in the hearts of many and not forgotten. it's such a shame how EA just abandoned this fantastic game
Theres one part where this game excells even today: the sound of the weapons! To this day it has the best sounddesign, period! No game offers that ooomph like Black does! Played it countless times on all difficulties and went for all special weapons and skins. Loved it to death!
This game came out my senior year of college. If only it came out about 10 years later, it would have gotten more praise and probably had multiple successors.
i remember back in the day, the whole atmosphere of the game is just too good, different map different mission different gun different feel different memory
Damn I remember this game from the ps2 era. We didn't have internet , and I never heard anything about this game and no one recommended it to me . Our paths just crossed accidentally . The first couple of minutes I played , I knew this games quality was on another level. The light rays coming through the windows ,the sound ,the destructible environment .I was thinking like what the hell is this. This game caught me so of guard and that element of surprise I wont ever forget. That's why I love this game so much.
I remember back in the day playing Black on PS2 During a summer, being jawdropped by how detailed and satisfying it was, the gunfighting was so satisfying.... good old days
I primarily remember Black as the game that taught me how much I loathe "depth of field" and "bloom" as visual effects, and the moment I learned to go into the settings in future games to disable both.
This was my favorite fps. The story, the difficulty, the sounds the guns made WHEW! When you beat the game you get unlimited ammo on that difficulty and you can really spam crazy stuff like rpg, grenade launcher, revolver. Fun fun fun!
I played the demo for this a million times. It made the guns feel devastatingly powerful, and the smoke effects are still awesome. Never played the full game until I got a series x. Not up there with the Halos and Half-Lifes of the world, but it was really solid.
I’m a gun guy, this game was awesome back in the day! Wish the reloads and mag capacities were a little more accurate But it was absolutely fun to play👍🏼
i was playing this with my best friend when we were young in his basement high af and i remember us saying how great the graphics were and the gun animations
I played this so much as a teen. It was also not really hyped up much cause I have no memory of seeing commercials for it or anything, although I have memories of kingdom hearts commercial and a few others. I got this at GameStop on a whim since it was on the clearance section for I think 5 dollars. It was extremely fun.
I remember playing this. The destructable environments were mind blowing at the time. Not sure which mission it was, but I remember taking on a small army from a gantry at a mine or something.
I think I was around 12 when I saw the previews for this game in a Game Informer magazine and had it pre-ordered for my Xbox the next day. I remember my dad and I absolutely gushing over how insanely realistic the graphics looked.
i remember coming to a videogame shop when i was younger and i overheard the worker talking to a guy saying that "this is the best shooting game in the market right now", i was so intrigued by it, i didnt have a PS2, only the PSP and always tought about this game and what was it about. Good times.
I remember a mission where you have to be stealthy in the woods and you were able to screw/unscrew your silencer onto your pistol, that blew my mind as a kid. the level of detail and animations were crazy for the time
The option to add/remove suppressors was amazing!
Such a small thing, but absolutely awesome all the same

Why would you want to remove the silencer after adding it? Genuinely asking.
This is a prime “Dad wants to bond with his son” game.
in specific amurrrican households only
yeah fr
i didnt have a ps2 until 2006 so we bonded playing Medal of Honor (ps1)
Look at the top comment lol
So true, me and my dad burnt this game up it was one of the only shooters he really liked to play such a nostalgic game for me
@@CarpCSA35 I speak with experience
Black is the first game I realized where the bullet decal doesn't evaporate. I don't know why that's the memorable part I remember.
Bullet casings would fall on the ground and stay there too, had a lot of cool details

First time playing ps2 first time playing black and my good heavens
I miss so much simpler linear fps games, if you don't count boomer shooters there is no single fps like this anymore 😔
As much as it's a FEAR spiritual successor, Black definitely had an impact on Trepang2. Give it a shot (heh)
Trepang2 was great!

To this day, my dad doesn't care about playing new shooters, all he wants to play is PGA and BLACK.

I'm 46 and there has NEVER been a time when it wasn't. Most of the top purchased games were not those with the highest processing abilities.
This is the game that no one knows about. BLACK was a crazy shooter, with crazy fire guns. It was the COD before COD. It is certified a hidden gem.

The opening mission is always a blast and iconic at the same time. Always loved playing that level back then. Fun times
Black had a genuinely dark violent intensity that no other game came close to. I remember playing it and recognizing it as an evolution of fps gaming.
Theres one part where this game excells even today: the sound of the weapons! To this day it has the best sounddesign, period! No game offers that ooomph like Black does!
Played it countless times on all difficulties and went for all special weapons and skins.

There's a cool mention of the AC130 gunship in mission 1

the gunfighting was so satisfying.... good old days
omg, that just took me back to memory lane. Thank you for reminding me this game existed, I used to play this game all the time in my ps2.
The final two missions where you storm the bridge before raiding the asylum were some of the most intense firefights in my gaming experiences.
I primarily remember Black as the game that taught me how much I loathe "depth of field" and "bloom" as visual effects, and the moment I learned to go into the settings in future games to disable both.
Still play this game every other year or so. Asylum was my fav level. Great design and some funny voice lines
One thing I loved about BLACK was that it was all about the guns. The front cover proved it as well.
This was my favorite fps. The story, the difficulty, the sounds the guns made WHEW! When you beat the game you get unlimited ammo on that difficulty and you can really spam crazy stuff like rpg, grenade launcher, revolver. Fun fun fun!
I played the demo for this a million times. It made the guns feel devastatingly powerful, and the smoke effects are still awesome. Never played the full game until I got a series x. Not up there with the Halos and Half-Lifes of the world, but it was really solid.
Im glad I stumbled upon BLACK when I owned a PS2. I wasn't sure what I was getting myself into when I bought it but was blown away by how good it was.
I’m a gun guy, this game was awesome back in the day!
Wish the reloads and mag capacities were a little more accurate
But it was absolutely fun to play👍🏼
This game was my childhood lol. I just had to download it to replay it.
My uncle worked on this game as an artist of some sort. I am very proud of him being a part of such a great game!
i was playing this with my best friend when we were young in his basement high af
and i remember us saying how great the graphics were and the gun animations

I remember playing this. The destructable environments were mind blowing at the time.
Not sure which mission it was, but I remember taking on a small army from a gantry at a mine or something.
I loved this game so much. It was a childhood favorite, in my head it has the same resolution as the new ones.
Glad to see other people love this game too. Some good memories listening to Korn while playing Black.
The fact that they got this to run as well as it does on the PS2 is some serious tech wizardry.
I think I was around 12 when I saw the previews for this game in a Game Informer magazine and had it pre-ordered for my Xbox the next day. I remember my dad and I absolutely gushing over how insanely realistic the graphics looked.
