2006 video game
Black is a 2006 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. The player assumes control of Jack Kellar, a black 🔔 ops agent being interrogated about his previous missions involving a terrorist operation. Gameplay involves players confronting enemies by 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.
Black received generally positive reviews upon release. Critics praised the gameplay, sound design and presentation, but 🔔 criticized the game's short length and lack of multiplayer.

As such a spiritual successor, Bodycount, was created by the same developers at Codemasters 🔔 and released in 2011.
Story [ edit ]
Black is set in Ingushetia and Chechnya, Russia. The protagonist is Sergeant First Class 🔔 Jack Kellar (Marty Papazian), an inadequately disciplined member of a CIA black ops unit. The unknown interrogator (Paul Pape) questions 🔔 Kellar about an arms smuggling terrorist organization and gang called the Seventh Wave who have been responsible for a number 🔔 of terrorist attacks and homicides. Kellar is soon shown that, unless he co-operates, he and his actions will be declassified, 🔔 meaning he will be convicted at court-martial, dishonorably discharged, and imprisoned for life. Though initially resistant, Kellar agrees to tell 🔔 his story.
