It takes a few minutes to figure out what kind of game Delta Force: Black Hawk Down really is. It opens with a solemn video showing the plight of early 90's Somalia, and if you rummage through the game's manual, you'll find some history on the region, detailed info on the equipment and tactics used by during U.S. soldiers, and lots of other terms suggesting "realistic" game play, such as "rapid aim fire" and "room take downs." Even a quote on the box calls it "a serious tactical shooter."Don't be confused, however: Black Hawk Down is no simulation, and barely a tactical shooter. It's a balls-out action game that has more in common with Medal of Honor: Allied Assault than America's Army or Ghost Recon. And you know what? It's a good game to boot. A few frustrating moments spoil the fun here and there, but overall Black Hawk Down is an entertaining shooter and an encouraging step forward for the Delta Force series.
