  1. If you enjoyed either "Delta Force I" or "II," you'll like this game as well. It is more of the same, with some gameplay, graphic, and multiplayer improvements.
  2. It's a difficult game, but its thinking-man's style of approaching missions will keep you coming back for more.
  3. A lot of fun, although not particularly advanced from "Delta Force 2" in either scope or quality.
  4. 83
    Land Warrior is the best distance squad combat game on the market.
  5. The game in the series that seems most accessible, and if you've avoided it up until this point, I'd recommend picking it up if sniping or large areas appeal to you.
  6. 80
    It can't measure up to the likes of "SWAT 3" or "Rainbow Six: Rogue Spear," but Delta Force is a much improved and very fun tactical combat action game.
  7. The best in tis underrated series, but the gameplay hasn't kept pace with the FPS genre. [Feb 2001, p.90]
  8. As dopey as the AI is, it really is a lot of fun to jump into a level where you know that you're completely surrounded and outnumbered and gun the hell out of everything that moves.
  9. A standout among some recent disappointments in the first-person shooter action genre.
  10. Fools you into thinking it's crap with its new-fangled but rubbish graphics but, like George Formby, Land Warrior turns out nice again.
  11. 73
    Even though I did have a modicum of fun, the bad AI and graphics problems made the game pretty disappointing at times.
  12. If you want subtlety and complexity, Delta Force probably isn't for you, but if you want to mow down terrorists using the latest firearms in a variety of colorful settings, then this is your game.
  13. Even with its less than intelligent AI, the game offers more than enough high powered fun -- especially for those of us who favor playing the sniper.
  14. The game has all the elements of a great tactical simulator with the emphasis on realism rather then fantasy, but has been mortally wounded by shoddy modeling, its graphic's limitations and all around poor execution.
  15. A far cry from the grittiness of "Rainbow Six."
  16. Though the rendering jitters can get annoying, the improvements to the overall visuals combined with the wide explorative possibilities make Delta Force: Land Warrior a solid game for anyone who enjoys modern tactical warfare on the PC.
  17. Though decent for the most part, and occasionally fun, the latest entry in the series remains lackluster and is easily overshadowed by the competition.
  18. If you like your games with less thought and more explosions, you'll have fun with Land Warrior. Those expecting another Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six will want to look elsewhere.
  19. If your teammates are dumb, the enemy is positively moronic. "Braindead" doesn't begin to describe the terrorists you'll face.
  20. If five enemies stand on one spot, you kill four of them and the fifth one was incidentally looking somewhere else at the time, he won't have a clue what happened, and better still, he won't realize anything happened.
  21. Unfortunately, this new DF cuisine turns out a flavor that is bland and ubiquitous to a fault. I guess someone forgot to throw in the spice.
  22. As many improvements as the game's developers have made over its predecessors, I only wish they had gone the extra mile and made this game into the top-notch title it could have been.

  1. Blackhawk 10 Delta Force 2 is the milestone for the Delta Force series as well for Novalogic .It's campaign and multiplayer are perfect.The guns,vehicles,and voice acting are of the highest quality.In my opinion this is the best game Novalogic has ever made. Full Review »
  2. Delta Force-Land Warrior is a FPS elite troops based game which contains a number of impressive game-play features in an astonishing small size but with relatively poorer graphics.

    ADVANTAGES IN DETAIL-
    First of all, on noticing "Delta Force-Land Warrior"'s size of less than a GB, one will think that the game wont be worth playing and, so did I. But when I played the game,it actually amazed me. The game is filled with a number of features which are usually not present in other FPS games. For example- the feature of selecting one character from a number of different characters with different specialties (female gamers would be quite happy as there are female characters also, to choose from) and the feature of choosing your equipment of different genres from a range of latest weaponry. Sound quality is also good (I am not saying very good.) Missions are relatively easier to understand and complete, however not compromising on the thrill of shooting enemies.

    DISADVANTAGES IN DETAIL-
    Though the game-play is quite impressive, it still lacks some basic features like any meter or bar which indicates the life left, and the ability to acquire the weapons of the enemies when they are dead (I personally like the latter feature very much!). The greatest disappointment occurs due its poor graphics as compared to other FPS games.

    MY (LIVENJOY'S) VIEW-
    I would say that if game-play concern you more than just graphics (as it does to me!), this game is for you.

  3. After playing the campaign, the game seems rushed and the story... what story? It is, however, one of the first memorable military shooters, and i remember playing the Sphinx mission endless times in various ways, either killing all the enemies, or the least i could. It is a precursor to open-world games (GTA 3 came soon after it), and i always wondered where would i get if i'd just kept going straight trough that desert. Guess i could've gone like that forever :) Full Review »
