Until 2 days ago I didn't really even know of this game, I went into Gamestop the day before it's launch and the guys in there were going nutso over Black being out in 1 day.

They were like.... "Completely destructable, EVERYTHING".
I was like..."GIMME!"

I haven't read any reviews, but I have eard hype about the game going to ROCK and stuff. So I bought the game, got it today. It's not so destructable. I mean I can blow out some walls, and blockades, some of the cars blow up wth a single shotgun blast, it looks cool. But WTF?! I wanted a totally destructable world!

I remember this... he said I'd be able to shoot the ground out from underneath a person like in Underworld. No way. I mean I can't even shoot through many of the WOODEN FLOORS or WALLS!

OK, if I were not told all that bull**** hype maybe I'd like the game OK. But not for a stupid CONSOLE! It SUCKS! If this were a PC game I'd probably be diggin it like I do Call of Duty 2 or FEAR. It's pretty fun, but there are no save points, and good luck with figuring out your controller settings. You must leave the game to configure it! This means REWATCHING THAT STUPID VIDEO OVER AND OVER AGAIN TILL YOU GET IT RIGHT!

Whatever. I give it a 4 out of 10, if this were PC that number would be 6 or 7. IF it had a totally destructable world I'd give it a damned 15 out of 10!!! Even on the console. I want my mouse.

    I hate to say it, but that's what you get for not reading reviews first.

    The game actually has been getting some pretty decent reviews.

    It's like Red Faction. Big hype about geomodding but when the game came out it was only like the rocky area at the start that could do it...

    I've got it for xbox. It's ok, it's an FPS it's based on 'real world' weapons and visuals. That's pretty much it. Graphics are pretty good. You can't jump like not even onto the trunk of a car, that's lame. If you are a small child and base things on how shiny they are and how loud the bangs are this game is about an 9 out of 10.

    If however you base it on how well it plays, if it brings anything new to the genre and if it's simply more fun then the dozen other games this is the same as it's about a 4 out of 10.
