I know this is a PC forums mostly, but I just can't help but post this here. I have an XBOX, but I haven't used it for games in a long time now. My friend sends me a link to a game called Black coming out 2-28-06. After looking at the pictures and video's i'm hooked! I really hope this game doesn't let me down because so far PC games have been a huge letdown recently.

The game is coming out of XBOX and PS2. Sadly enough not for PC.
What do you guys/girls think?

It's an EA game. I have fairly low expectations.
Looks nice, but that can be said of every game trailer. Gotta wait to see how buggy and screwed up it is because some EA execs wanted it out the door
NOW.

I for some reason have faith in this game.

i do, too. something about a totally destructable environment seems like it'd be awesome and be a big hit...
for crying out loud, look at the halo series... those games suck ass, but everyone loves them because of the multiplayer and "uniqueness"...

Moronic AI and tedious gameplay. Surprise surprise.
Doesn't even have any form of multiplayer to save itself.
GG EA. Try giving developers the time they need to actually finish a game next time eh? Yeah right, maybe when pigs fly.

I just played this game at my friends house (European Version). Graphics were pretty good and fun factor was great for the 1st level. I went all the way to level 3 and just couldn't play anymore its was the same thing over and over again level through level. Anyone who was interested in this game go ahead and skip it. It takes 30 bullets to kill someone unless you hit them in the head.

Well this is nothing but good graphics and a re-run of the havok engine so...
Wait wasnt this stuff released back in 98'? And earlier? Red Faction? Hmm...
In the commercials I didnt see any shooting enemies so it made me steer away.
No action no game.
