Way Under Appreciated
User Rating: 8.6 | Delta Force: Black Hawk Down PC
As far as true history goes this game is very accurate. I have to admit it had a lot of downfalls, but overall it was a game worth playing. The AI in it were not as good as they should have been but if they were all perfect shots the game would have been to easy. At least the men in your ranger chaulk (team) took commands and did there job. I don't feel it was just a shoot-em up game though. I believe the game was well written and carried out. The interface was a bit clumsy however. The graphics could have been better. I didn’t like the fact that you had a limited number of save games at first, but end the end I liked it because you had to plan your saves for when you really needed them, therefore adding a strategic part of the game. You had some complex missions that you had to achieve. It did get a little repetitive is some spots, but I never lost interest. It had a lot of bugs on the first release, but the patch resolved most of them. You team would sometimes shoot you on accident or would run into the line of fire, but that happens in real life situations. I feel this game wasn’t really given a fair chance. Also there are no real cheats available for the game which a lot of people were turned off by that. Overall for the date it was released in early of ’03 I would say give it a chance. From what I read I almost didn’t, but when I did I was glad I did. I got many hours of enjoyment in it. I overlooked the flaws and understood the story line. In the true story they were outgunned and outmanned which leaves a very hard game. I hate to see the rating on this site for this game, because it’s a lot better then given credit for. If you get the Platinum Pack that contains Team Sabre you are really in for a treat. The original game came with 15 very fun missions that utilized authentic military tactics. The Platinum Pack came with 2 bonus missions that are so realistic they are almost impossible to complete. The game was actually used by the military for training. The two bonus missions were from what I understand the ones actually used for training soldiers on urban combat. You have to use strategy on how you approach your target. You send you squad into rooms to take and secure the room. In my opinion this game got a bad wrap and deserves a second look.
