Delta Force: Black Hawk Down is the awesomest Delta
Force game so far.
It's based on the same real thing that the movie
Black Hawk Down was based on... the big stink in Somalia in 1993 about
the militia and the warlords stealing any and all food in the country,
so the U.S., being the peacekeepers we are, decide to stick our noses
in and get rid of the warlords and get food to the Somalis, etc.
So, stuff happens. And it's really awesome... and
fun. Thanks NovaLogic.
The graphics are quite good, to say the least.
Compared to the other Delta Force games, the graphics in DF:BHD are
awesome. But they're not "top-notch"... and for some dumb reason,
they limit your graphics settings according to your hardware. Smart
move, NovaLogic.
Weapons include but are not limited to CAR-15s,
Barrett M82s, M24s, Beretta 92s, and Colt M1911s. Missions will
sometimes make it so you can't use certain weapons, but it usually
cancels out the rocket launcher or something like that, something
there's no reason for you to use. But LAWs are so fun, NovaLogic! RPG!
RPG!
The single-player mode is quite short, but
hey, the others were too, and it's not like there's no replay value
going on here. Maps are big and it's not like there's any dialogue you
have to sit and watch/listen to/read, unlike
another FPS that I won't reveal the name of
in this review but will put a link to. So, basically you can go
any way you want gunning things down.
There's also a big plus; There are vehicles. WOO!! Only problem is you
can't actually drive them... You can ride in or man the guns of
the Black Hawks, man the gun of a Humvee, or sit on an MH-6 Little
Bird as it flies around, though. Wee!
Unfortunately, I haven't beaten DF:BHD. In fact,
I'm only on the second mission. Snoopy finished it, and I watched him,
and that's how I know all of the stuff I wrote about in this review.
XD
I recommend you buy this game. It's phun. Yes, it's
fun enough to be phun. And that's pretty fun.
Until next time, this is Linus saying "watch your six!" |
