I'm an avid gamer, and first person shooters are by far my favorite genre. I loved both Delta Force and Delta Force 2, so naturally I thought that Delta Force:Land Warrior would be the next logical step to greatness. I wasn't TOTALLY mistaken, however it is safe to say that I was disappointed. My goal is to make sure that other followers of the Delta Force series don't make the same mistake. First of all, check out the screenshots for this game. They look great don't they!? Well I've got news; the real graphics don't look half that sharp. A grenade blast in this game looks like the graphics from the original Nintendo...that's right, the 16-bit system. In my opinion, I exaggerate not. There are, in fact, a wide variety of weapons, however they are far from realistic. The silenced MP-5 is indiscernable, and looks more like a stick than a gun. 3rd-Person view looks spectacular in the screen shots that Amazon put up, however the real graphics will show that the soldiers are unproportional and unrealistic looking. I simply can not comprehend how game programmers allow themselves to slack off so much after creating two very top-quality games. The military strategy element is the one bright spot for this game, as there are truly no limits to each level. I often found myself crawling for a thousand meters just so I could get behind my enemy for a shot with my Barret .50-cal. In this sense, there is great replayability. Missions can be completed in an infinite number of ways, and so this game is more of a time killer. Overall, if you're looking for a game to beat in a couple of days, or if you simply need to feel the rush of an FPS while you're waiting for all the fantastic November-release games to come out, then buy this. If you loved the other Delta Force games, then you should also buy this. However, don't have high expectations coming in to the game, as I did. You'll be disappointed.
