Delta Force Black Hawk Down plays ok. It looks bloody awful though. Halo it isn't, Doom it isn't, an average FPS it is.
If you have seen the PS2 version like i have, you maybe left wondering why thge Xbox version looks like a completely different game, different as in no where near as good.

For die hard fans of the PC version only.

1.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing, clunky, and already outdated, August 8, 2005

I've been eagerly awaiting this game for over a year now and now that I finally have it, I'm selling it back after just a week of giving it a chance to shine.

The graphics are fugly and look like they were rendered on a computer from 2000. I'm not seeing any improvement over the PC version of Delta Force Land Warrior from about that same year. In fact, I think DFLW was a better game.

One thing I did notice is that--just like in the Delta Force Land Warrior PC game--you can shoot an enemy in the big toe and they'll die. Pitiful.

The single player missions are.... artificial. They don't feel very realistic in nature. "Oh, military intelligence says we've got 60-100 hostiles in the area with armed vehicles and RPGs? Okay, let's send in 4 guys on foot." Please.

The multiplayer games might be the only saving grace, and even then I think Battlefield 2 is a far better game in that department. I don't have LIVE though, so can't honestly compare.

The user interface--particularly with selecting weapons and weapon modes--is utterly abysmal. Push one button to pull up the weapon selection menu, then use the thumb pad to move left or right to select a weapon and then down or up to select a mode for that weapon if it has multiple firing options (like single shot, full auto, and gernade launcher). This should be something that can be done fast and on the fly in the heat of combat--not something that will get you killed as you stand there like an idiot trying to figure out which is the smoke grenade and which is the flash-bang.

Enemy AI is weak. Just find a good spot and wipe them all out. Likewise, your squad's AI is weak. Order them to toss a frag grenade into a room and they're just as likely to throw it into the room as they are to bounce it off the wall right next to you and blow up the whole squad.

All in all, I'm just going to see if I can get some of my money back by trading the game in at Game Stop. It feels like Novalogic put out a game that wasn't ready to be put out yet simply because they were trying to meet a deadline and/or salvage as much money as possible prior to the Xbox 360 coming out. And the result is simply a very disappointing game.

1.0 out of 5 stars Xbox owners short changed again!!!, August 8, 2005

Why oh why do the Playstation 2 owners get a spanky all new version of Deltaforce Black Hawk Down complete with spanky new visuals while the Xbox owners are served second best sub par rubbish? The Xbox owners get an average direct from PC conversion complete with coverted visuals from the original PC version of Deltaforce Black Hawk Down that were never that hot in the first place, all those years ago. If anything, the Xbox owners whould have be served a superior version over the Playstation 2 version.

Signed: One very unhappy Xbox owner :(
