Black Hawk Down

Black Hawk Down

The Bottom Line

Delta Force: Black Hawk Down is a solid first person shooter, whose missions are a bit too scripted at times, but gives an overall good game-playing experience.
Pros
  • Visually, graphics stunning.
  • Realistic, upclose & intense modern combat.
  • Excellent multi-player capability.
Cons
  • Limited AI. Missions sometimes too scripted.
  • Waypoints must be followed; Limits freedom.
  • Short overall game storyline.

Description

  • DFBHD improves upon the somewhat disappointing DF Land Warrior, with better game-play, and story.
  • Unfortunately the storyline for DFBHD is a bit short and ends leaving you wanting more.
  • The missions are scripted so playing multiple times will lead to repetition and then boredom.
  • Some are so scripted, playing them over and over to find out when to duck, dodge, & shoot is a must.
  • Excellent multi-player capability.

Guide Review - Delta Force: Black Hawk Down Review

Delta Force: Black Hawk Down is the fifth title in the Delta Force Series of games and turns out to be a solid first person shooter, with excellent multi-player capability.

Sticking with the single player game, there are some features that gamers looking for something different in a FPS won't find. For instance the missions are scripted, so much so at times that it makes the AI seem a bit lackluster and mindless. Also following the mission waypoints is a must, this leads to a lack of freedom compared with games such as Grand Theft Auto 3.

Black Hawk Down succeeds as a first person shooter with great visual graphics and sound. It does however, miss on a few aspects such as over scripted missions, and short overall storyline.
