If you like military shooters than this game is definitely for you. Maybe if you dont' like them, you wont like this game much, but then, why would you buy it? This game has many weapons and vehicles that you constantly use in single and multi player. It is a great shooter, however the reason i gave it a "4" is because shooting is pretty much all you do. Every mission you have to retrieve an envelope or something like that, but you might as well have just left that out of the game and let people shoot at the enemy the whole time because its fun in this game, but with the envelopes, its not adding fun, its adding plot. So basically buy this game if your into shooters, if you think shooters are ok, dont buy it because it could have been a lot more creative in its mission plots

If any of you overgrown social retards pulled your heads away from the console long enough to read, you'd understand that the incidents that inspired this game are tragic and horrific. There are widows, fatherless kids, and childless parents out there because some of our guys tried hard to do the right thing. To make it into a game is beyond disgusting. To float money into the corporation who seeks to make a profit from the blood of those kids is equally disgusting. Put down your controllers and go learn something .. do something useful with your lives.

Lacks any real punch

For me Black Hawk Down came across as a wishy washy over hyped war shooter that failed to stand up against the many other war styled shooters in my Xbox collection. To put it very simply, not a great game by any lengths.

Three-and-a-half stars

Delta Force Black Hawk Down is a direct port of the PC game. The same graphics, missions, weapons, ect. This is still a great game in many ways, but the dated graphics would be easier to tolerate if the console ports had been released about a year earlier. Most of the missions are well done and involve very realistic combat situations. The training mission is another story. "Okey soldier, for your first day of basic training we will put you in a black hawk helicopter and set you down in front of a bunch of armed enemy troops and gun trucks. After that, you will be sent out into a live mine field to retrieve an envelope of no importance at all. THEN we will take you back to base and teach you how to use weapons." The mission menu lets you select from more than one mission at a time allowing you more choice than most other games. The AI is the biggest problem in the game. The enemy AI is not very good and your allies are even worse. Tons of times I've seen an enemy walk right up to one of my squadmates and execute him with a shot to the head while my squadmate didn't even turn around. As mentioned in another review, civilians cannot be killed detracting from the realism. They also act strange. I don't know about you, but I don't think I would run out into the middle of a firefight just so I could throw rocks at the foriegn troops. Your squadmates also show absolutely no personality. They never talk, warn you of enemy soldiers or complement on your aim. The sounds of battle are pretty good and the voice acting is great. If you already have the PC Delta Force Black Hawk Down, there isn't any reason to get this one.

Poor XBOX port

This game just sucks. I tried it out on PS2 at ToysRUs and that version was pretty cool. The XBOX version plain sucks.

1) In voice commands, where the hell is "Cover Me!", "goto waypoint". Not realistic at all.

2) AI is just stupid. Unless the "skinny's" were that dumb this is one of the poorest AI's I have ever seen.

3) MP is the worst of any XBox live game I have ever seen.

A Dissapointment

I played the game at a friends house for ps2. I loved it so when i went home i bought for xbox. It wasnt the same. I was greatly dissapointed with the graphics and gameplay. xbox live was cool with 50 people but it was too glitchy

Decent Game But could Use Improvement

I got this game for Christmas, seeing it was top price in stores I figured it must be a hell of a game. I had recently rented it from Blockbuster, and gotten far but then had to return it last summer. As soon as I got it I started playing it full shift like must people would intill I beat it. Then my friend came over and we played cooperative which only had about 5 levels to play on out of 20(except for death match). And on top of that when I was shooting my M16A2 with and M203 grenade launcher attchment. The bullet flash was not even coming out of the barrel it was coming out of the air! And if you look at and AK-47 when you kill a Somilian terrorist there guns don't have any triggers. The official guide does not have any either! I overall enjoy it! But I would maybe consider renting it first.

Great Game... on XBL

You're prolly sitting there reading all these bad reviews saying tou yourself.... "Ehhh screw it, i'll get something else" We all did, Even I. But I had already reserved the game, so i said, what the hell? I got home and played the single player first(as i do with every game to get the feel for the controls) and found myself getting a little bored. So i decided to go onto XBL and try the 25 VS 25 games. I couldn't find any right away so i played in the smaller games. I was surprised to see little lagg. This was a BIG concern with me. No don't get me wrong, there was a couple times that the "game session is no longer availible" message popped up, but it went away eventually. The cool thing about that is you don't lagg out and lose your score. Anyways I played for a bit in one of the smaller games. And realized how detailed the maps were. When i say detailed, i don't mean graphics-wise, i mean how you can go on any building and snipe, go inside a lot of buildings, hide in alley-ways and wait for the unsuspecting convoy to drive by only to kill the people in the 50 cals and take them for yourself. This leads me to vehicle operation. I thought not being able to drive the vehicles would be a bad thing. I quickly forget about that. You are just TOO imersed in urban warfare you don't really care. So after a while i left and found a 50 player game. It was team king of the hill. The map this was on was perfect. There was a building in the center of the map, and both teams spawned at opposites sides, and other various spawn poitns if your team could take them over. WE both made a dash for the building and once again, no lagg. AWESOME. So anyway we make a mad dash, all the sudden bullets, rockets and grenades are flying past my ear, people are screamin medic, and the black hawks are in the air, raining bullets on my men. Then one of my men get an AT4(rpg) and blow up the chopper. I'm behind a brick wall, i can't move. There is a 50 cal in the building that will not elt up, so i tell one of my men to flank him and take the 50 over. He goes around, and kills him. We get the building and we hold it for about 7 minutes(the goal is 10 minutes) So long story short. The game went on for 3 hours! My team finally won. This is probably one of the best Online games for the xbox, if not the best. screw halo 2. This is a great buy!
