    With a harrowing 16-mission single-player experience, and monstrous multiplayer arenas, this disc is worthy of your hard-earned per diem, grunt.
  2. The Live options are up there with the best of them and cover everything from team support to Live stats and leaderboards. However, as with many titles that focus on the thrills of Live play, offline it is fairly run of the mill. The game's saving grace, though, is the huge scale of every battle.
  3. While Delta Force: Black Hawk Down isn't a broken shooter or anything, there's just far too many better alternatives out there if you're looking for an action rush. Leave this one behind on the store shelf.

    Black Hawk down has incredibly realistic, fast paced, exciting gameplay only to be marred by PS1 (at best) graphics. The graphics are extremely muddy and washed out. NovaLogic paid great attention to detail in terms of gameplay. For example there is a level with crocodiles that adds a touch of realism, enemies fall off rooftops, and even have a "death gurgle" when they die. The weapons don't have magnification on the scopes just as real weapons do not. Another nice touch of realism. Yet all of this conflicts with the horrid graphics and poorly designed voice recognition. You issue a command into your headset and then have to push a button to confirm your command. This makes the whole thing pointless. Why not just issue a command and have your team carry it out? I really tried to get into the gameplay but the terrible graphics held me back. How can the water effects and explosions look so good and the characters look so bad? When your character dies the game ackwardly (very ackwardly) switches to a dull cut-scene. Consumers have to send a message to developers. If you put out a game with graphics that are this bad, we won't buy your game. We need to send NovaLogic this message. I happily traded this game for Rainbow Six 3. Rainbow Six 3 is almost two years old, which is ancient in the videogaming world, but at least the characters don't look like they have been put through a washing machine with an extra dose of bleach.
