Black is a first-person shooter video game developed by Criterion Games and published by Electronic Arts. It was released for the PlayStation 2 and Xbox in February 2006, and was later ported to the Xbox 360 via backwards compatibility in 2008. The player assumes control of Jack Kellar, a black ops agent being interrogated about his previous missions involving a terrorist operation. Played from a first-person perspective, players confront enemies using firearms and grenades. The game is notable for its heavily stylized cinema-inspired action as well as its sound quality and focus on destructive effects during gameplay.
