Look up the conflict in Somalia in 1993 if you want a story.

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!"
