I got this game in hopes it would be somewhat like the movie. At first it was fun. Playing levels before the helicopters went down. But it started to get boring and the A.I. was just terrible. The enemies just stand there and let you shoot them. I though I had given up hope when there came the call,"Irene!". The call telling the soldiers they were going to battle. Your character goes into the battle in a humvee convoy. It got fun again for about five minutes when I ran into a huge glitch. At least I think it was a glitch. The game had been pretty buggy and glitchy before. So what happened was the game under objectives said go meet this such and such a guy. His name was like "Warlover46" or something like that. Since then I had gotten off the humvees. In the middle of the battle when there was people to be saved that were in the helicopters that crashed. It kept me running around meeting all these people with strange names. I started thinking somwhow Xbox Live was mixing with the campaign. There was no way to continue without meeting all these people. I met around 50-65 people before I gave up and sold the game back to Gamestop.

Better Games out there

I don't play multiplayer shooters. So I only played this is single player mode. I thought this game was cumbersome, shifting weapons took too long. They equip you with a binocular but the bad guys only appear when you get closer. And most times they appear from out of no where. They just suddenly materialize! In the desert no less.

Mannig the Machinegun on top of the Humvee was kind of hokey, not very fun or very challenging.

If you own a PC and you can find it buy Operation Flashpoint, or if you have a newer PC buy Armed Assault.

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.

I enjoyed this game

I don't care what many people on Amazon said about this game. I enjoyed it. Some parts (like the mine field) were irritating and difficult. Don't compare this to Halo (if that is what you are doing). Halo is a great game in it's own right. Everyone has a right to thier opinion and this is mine. There were some glitches, but it didn't take away how fun it is and how some parts made me think.

Dont listen to people

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

worst war game on Xbox

The Xbox effort of Black Hawk Down is the worst of worst FPS'ers on Xbox. If good looking games turn you on, then Black Hawk Down is guaranteed to turn you off. While being no Halo to look at, it don't near by a long long shot. The game is like 20 billion years too late. This game is not worthy of adding to your Xbox collection. It was in mine for less than a week! before i managed to get an exchange on the thing. Not worth a rental, a try before you buy. Best rent a movie instead. At least that way you'll get atleast 1 hours worth of fun!!!

Pointless!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If your gonna convert a PC game to the Xbox, the first thing to do would be to chosse a good PC game to convert in the first place. This is where the problems lie for black hawk down, the PC game was very average to begin with. Imagine taking that very same average of average PC games and converting it to Xbox 4 years down the line without any improvements what so ever (Er???) atleast the Playsation 2 Black Hawk was 100% *NEW* graphics, which kinda helps!!!

A Dissapointment

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.
