'Black' Review: Gun Porn and a Fetish for Reagan Era Destruction (XboxOz360)

Back in 2006 on the eve of the original Xbox's demise, renowned developer Criterion of Burnout fame released a naked, high energy homage to the FPS genre. It was a slickly produced Eastern Bloc romp, juiced up on steroids and widespread collateral damage that became as guilty a pleasure as any action movie from the 1980's. Courtesy of Microsoft's Xbox Originals this game has now been re-released as a 1200MP download.

So is it worth the price of admission to the latest Rambo flick? Well if first impressions counted for everything, the answer is a resounding yes, but that's not the case and so for Black the answer is not so straightforward... 7.5/10
