Good the first Black game sucked a$$. The commercials were good, but failed to deliver on the intense action, of making it seem you could destroy the envoirment aswell, but you could not.

1.1 - WRONG!!!

The first Black failed as far as a immersive story but, it delivered where it counts....Gameplay. It looked and played great thats what matters. Its was a blast to play.

It was an ok, FPS.

I bought it based on the commercial i've seen for it. (see 1st post)

That commercial was saying "hey, look what physics this game has, then you play it, and what's this... I can't destroy everything."

That's just my opinion, they could of atleast put a 'run' option.

No way man! Black is a legend.
Black is my no 1 FPS on all last gen consoles. That game was amazing..Alo Its the game that led me to believe gamespot is junk since they gave it a 7/10 score.. IGN score was 8.9. Too bad they are not working on a sequel..

1.4 - a commercial is meant to get you to BUY the game; no truth telling required

i liked black too, it was a fun mindless shooter that belongs in this next-gen with some crazed-up HD visuals

NOOO. While Black 1 wasn't a masterpiece, it was a really fun and engaging FPS game and certainly one of the better games of it's kind. Black 2 with next-gen graphics and multiplayer would have been uber awesome.

Lets get going Criterion...

The first was awesome, and a next gen. sequel is at the top of my list.

But it can wait until 2009, there are to many FPS coming out this year anyway.

10 - What a shame...

I loved the first BLACK. It delivered for me in terms of action and crazy graphics for the generation of platform it came out for. I can only imagine what the next one would be like if they used the same game engine used in Burnout Paradise in the next BLACK. Well, I guess I will have to suffer with great games like MGS4, Killzone 2, Resistance 2, and... Wait... No, I guess I won't be suffering. It is still a shame to hear the news though.

I LOVED Black!
There was nothing quite as satisfying as getting a headshot..."Tink".
I still play that every once in a while today.

Oh, and @ #1 - you're full of it.

I still play it to this day. I'll be sorely disappointed if they don't make a sequel, especially considering the cliffhanger ending of the first one...

Unless they got a small team working on Black 2, they could release it in 2009 as Killzone 2, Resistance 2 are releasing this year, Halo 3 was released last year so Black 2 would not get a big sales. What else do they work expect for Burnout ?

I really liked the first game, yes the story section did fall short, but the gameplay and graphics were really good. It sucks they are not making a new game for this generation.

Black 2 will still come just not in 2008. Most rumors eventually pull the truth out as well. Its only a matter of time.

Are you serious? Black was a great game. This news is too bad. I'd love to see Black 2 on the PS3. Black was about guns and shooting everything up. With the power of the PS3 and real physics it would be a really fun game.

Given its a last gen title, Its graphics are truly near next gen. Also the gameplay is fantastic. I love that game. I wish they make a sequel.

Maybe Criterion will make Black 2 one day. What I got from this interview really is they aren't working on Black 2 and have no plans to. But it doesn't say they won't make it. I'm sure it would sell great.
