Black Hints V (PS2)

Black is a video game developed by Criterion Studios, best known for their Burnout series of racing games, for publisher Electronic Arts. Released for the Microsoft Xbox gaming platform and for the PlayStation 2 from Sony, Black is a shooter crossed with an action game and it is played from a first person perspective.

The game puts you in the shoes of Sgt. J. Keller, a Black Operations agent who has just failed in his mission. Because of his failure, he has been incarcerated and is currently interrogated to reveal what his mission was in order to find out what went wrong. The player needs to go through the operation that got Keller imprisoned to see what led to the failure. There are eight areas that you need to explore in the game, with primary and secondary objectives, and focusing on gathering intelligence and eliminating all opposition.

There is a variety of weapons you can use to deal with enemies and the entire background is fully destructible. Cover is available and you can use it to shield yourself from enemy bullets. Be that as it may, remember that cover is not impenetrable and some weapons can even shoot through the walls.

There are four difficulty levels for the game. Easy mode only requires the gamer to complete the primary objective to advance, while some of the secondary ones are required in normal and hard modes. In Black Ops mode, which is only available after completing the game on the difficult one, the player needs to complete all the objectives to advance.

GAMEPLAY HINTS

Treneska Border Crossing: Posters

There are some houses on the right side of the road. Inside the houses are bulletin boards on the wall. Posted here are two pictures. They are the actors who portray Sgt. Kellar - Marty Papazian and his interrogator, played by Paul Pape.

Vratska Dockyard: Rocket launcher

Once you get to the part where someone with a rocket launcher shoots at you from a ship tower, blow him up. Go down by the bottom of the ship. On the side of the steps, you will be asked to switch weapons for an RPG.

Recommended weapons

The Magnum kills in one shot where ever it hits, unless your target is one of the men carrying shotguns with masks and full body armor.

Save health and ammunition

If you're temporarily low on health and ammunition, take the time to shoot everybody in the head. This usually brings them down in one shot and helps keep you alive. Because there is a smaller chance of you being killed by others if you do this, you will not need to repeat the level from the checkpoint and have to kill everyone again.
