Black Review PS2

I bought Black today for PS2. I paid full price. This is the day that it came out.

I am on the second mission. I have been playing this same mission for 2 hours. I'm hungry. I want to have dinner. I CAN'T SAVE MY GAME.

Apparently, you can't save your game in the middle of a mission without losing all your progress and starting the whole thing over (despite clearly defined checkpoints).

It has a mature rating, which means that it's only for people 17+.

What people, 17+, do you know who can sit there for that long and not have to stop to take care of something?

I'm currently fighting with the store to take it back. Unfortunately, the return policy doesn't work for opened games. If you have opened it, the best you can do is sell it back used.

Should have bought it with my Amex card (they'll refund your money if you are unsatisfied and the company won't take it back).

Just tossing this out there so as to hopefully save someone else the $40 I just lost.

I'm going to call their corporate customer service number and see what I can do.

For right now, don't buy Black. We'll see what satisfaction I can get from the Game Crazy people. If they won't give me my money back, then I'll say not to do business with them either.
