I knew when I picked this game up that it was the original Delta Force with some added missions and a "graphical update" but I was hoping for more of a change. But, Delta Force is still the same old Delta Force. What's changed? Nothing really except the graphics. I'll get into the review and then get back into my critisms afterwards.
Controls:
Of course I never seem to have a problem with controls for any PC game and I didn't have one for Delta Force Xtreme either. You move just like in any other FPS with W A S D, Z goes prone, X crouches and C stands your numbers change weapons and there's a few other controls you'll want to get used to. Nothing bad in this category at all.
Sound:
Well you'd think if this game is supposed to be so updated they would have thought, "Hmm, maybe we should change the sounds that sound like the same exact ones from Delta Force 2". But why do that? Why waste the time when they can just recycle everything and use it over and over again?! And that pretty much sums it up here the sounds are plain and dull and recycled which really takes away from the game for me sadly.
Graphics:
Now one thing I did notice here was that on my computer I didn't see much of an improvment from the Delta Force Blackhawk Down. It could be that it was because I had everything on normal but then again when I played Delta Force Black Hawk down I had a 64MB video card and now I have a 128MB graphics card and I don't see much improvment. Yes there's definitly an improvment from Delta Force the very first one but I don't see much else from the others. The screenshots from the website looked pretty good though so it's hard for me to judge in this category. For me it was nothing spectacular at all.
Overall:
And back to my criticisms we go, like I said much is recycled and I know, I know this is just supposed to be an update of Delta Force 1 with some new missions but the way it was advertised in my opinion was very misdirecting. One thing I can say good about this game though is the loading times were very fast and after you load up you can choose your arsenal after that it's just like any other Delta Force game, actually that's what it's supposed to be.
Lets hope soon Novalogic can stop recycling their old work and instead of releasing all these Delta Forces that are the same as the previous ones except with new missions, release something up to par with the newer games comming out.
I'd say this game is not worth picking up unless you really enjoyed the first Delta Force but don't expect anything that is up to par with newer games comming out.
