My boys are always on the computer playing the game and it is very entense. It give them hand and eye challenges and really makes them think. I have played some on the game and find it fun and challengeing as well.
Stupid game - memorize and win 
2007-06-18
If you like to play games where you know where the enemy is and can turn a corner and shoot to kill - this is the game for you. The format remains exactly the same every time. Your "team" does nothing but get in your way. I liked a couple of the early delta force games but this one SUCKS.
Graphics Better But Disappointing in Other Areas 
2007-06-02
This is the game that put Novaworld on the map. Unlike previous versions of the DF series, BHD has a different graphics engine. It was highly popular for the first 2 years. Hundreds of servers and thousands of people played the game including myself. Let's start with the good things first, weapons are very powerful, and there is a wide variety to choose from. Game formats are good it has TKOTH, where a team camps in an area to win the game, Razorball is knives only, the team the scores the most flags wins. TDM, the team the kills the other team the most wins. And so on. PSPs was an improvement from previous versions. Now the bad parts. Firstly, stock maps are uneven. You have for example Culture Clash A and B.
The imbalanced maps which also included some custom maps gave an advantage to one team over the other. Secondly, the lack of variety of buildings. In the map editor, there are clumps of buildings. It makes even custom maps look similar. These buildings should have been broken apart for better placement by the map maker. Third, left and right leans, rolling on the ground. You have a strong side lean and a weaker one. It gives you the impression of unrealistic angles, thus rewards those who spray or cut more often more success of hitting their target. For example you see a guy rolling on the ground, he can still knife you while rolling over which is an impossible angle.
Fourthly, the problem of glitching. While moving backwards creates a glitch for the knifer to have a longer reach than moving forward. Some servers tried to in force a rule of not moving backwards but some do not play by the rules causing name calling among players. Shooting into objects like a building is also a glitch. If your player gets close enough to the object, the gun or knife goes right through the object killing the intended target which can't see you. A major flaw in the game. Anyway, the game is dying as far as online gaming, but if you want a change in pace, the game might be worth to buy for it's missions and such. You might find some fun place to play online, but generally don't expect it to last...I believe the DF series in general is dying, Novaworld lost it's touch with the hardcore players over the years by releasing too many versions in one year after the success of BHD. Also the style of play has slowed down a lot unlike previous games.
Great First Person Shooter 2007-05-16
This is a great, inexpensive first person shooter. The online community is pretty substantial, and you can always find a fun, or competative online game.

Great Game !! Tries to be as real as can be in a game. no problems with install or installing exp packs. I dont think you would be disappointed.
Modern weapons and plenty of action! 2006-12-21
Delta Force: Black Hawk Down puts you at the heart of a U.S. Special Operations Forces mission in Somalia! Exciting nonstop multiplayer gaming through a LAN or the NovaWorld online service NOTE - Internet service required for multiplayer modes -- services fees may be applied
Great FSP 2006-11-02
Very realistic settings and campaigns. This is not your typical blast everything that moves type of FPS. There are friendlys out there!!! Plus you have got to constantly watch your back. You're in an urban environment and bad guys shoot at you from all angles. Game has interesting "save game feature" in that you can save a game when you want to, but you're limited in the number of saves you have per mission. Use them wisely.
On the down side, the graphics are good but dated and there is a maddening aspect of trying to figure out the interface to detonate the satchel charges. Other than that the game is a definate keeper.
Scripted but Fun. 2006-05-24
I found this game was very entertaining albeit very scripted. Imagine yourself an actor in an alternate version of the movie. It places you in a very good story with some interesting maps and missions.
Most of the game is fairly easy; however there were a few scripted encounters that caused me trouble. As usual, save and save often as you never know when an RPG is going to be shot down upon you from atop a building.
Pros:
A quick fun action game
Beautiful graphics in a desert urban environment
Cons:
Very short game
Horrid multiplayer
Scripted AI
All in all this game makes for a fun afternoon or weekend especially if you liked the movie. As of yet, I have not tried any of the expansions or sequels.
Mediocre OK Game, Not too tough on resources 2006-02-22
First off, although I work on computers gaming is not my thing. If my tech bretheren and I game it's usually to relieve stress and this FPS is not bad. We originally bought it to attempt to host across the internet by straight IP but you can only choose to use a local LAN on the same subnet or connect to NovaLogics host. This was a disappointment.
Second issue for gaming is that it is designed for large groups and the maps are huge...2 persons are going to have a tough time on this one.
On the bright side, the game was pretty good on older equipment and newer laptops which made it a pleasure to play. Team action and graphics were pretty good from the FPS perspective.
Was it worth $20 for both BHD and Team Sabre? Maybe but I would rather have paid 10-15
Great First Person Shooter 2006-01-16
The game play was a little linear, but overall very good. Weapons damage was fairly realistic. Graphics look a little dated, but doesn't detract from the game play.
