History VideoGame / Black2006

''Black'' is a FirstPersonShooter released on the Playstation 2 and Xbox in 2006. It was made by Criterion games, who also developed the burnout series. Black follows the story of Sergeant First Class Jack Keller, an black ops soldier being interoggated about a terrorist organization known as 'Seventh Wave'. The in-game missions begin four days before the interrogation and soon revolve around Jack searching for William Lenox, the new leader of the Seventh Wave. Black received good to luke-warm reviews for it explosive action, detailed guns and impressive technology. However, there was no multiplayer and only a short singleplayer campaign, leaving many people to feel that there was little content to the game.

* ElitesAreMoreGlamorous:

* FullMotionVideo: All the cutscenes are done this way.

* VideoGameObjectives: On the harder difficulties, there are more objectives to complete, but this usually translates to "more stuff to pick up".
* VoiceWithAnInternetConnection: Mostly from another female Black ops soldier, MacCarver.

* Badass: How you should feel when playing this game

* DieChairDie: A lot of the buildings and structures in black are destructible to help the chaos and cinematic feel of the game.

* FakingTheDead: The main villain Lenox does this before take command of the Seventh Wave.
** [[spoiler:Jack get's this at the very end also, to help his continued pursue of Lenox]]

* GunPorn: This was part of the game's actual marketing. The gun models are all incredibly detailed, and the loading screens show guns firing and empty shells ejecting in slow motion. Many of the sounds of taken from or inspired by action films, and used a system dubbed 'chorus of gunfire' in which each gun is given a different pitch. So a group of enemies firing would create a harmony of different gunfire sounds.

* VideoGameObjectives: On the harder difficulties, there are more objectives to complete.

* UnorthodoxReload: Sort of... The way the guns are reloaded is pretty standard, but when you do reload the screen blurs as an exaggeration of depth of field. This system would also be used by [[GoldenEyeWii]]

* Exploding Barrels: Most of the levels are full to the brim with exploding barrels, and are often placed so the destructible environments can be shown off.
