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. Despite Criterion's desire to develop a sequel, creative differences with Electronic ⚽️ Arts ultimately ended plans for one. 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.

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.
