Summary: Could have been a contender.
Review: I could essentially reiterate my review of the original "Delta Force" game, and it would apply with equal validity to "Delta Force 2." Yes, it's an enjoyable game, but none of the weaknesses of the first installment were remedied. The AI remains woefully inadequate, and seems even a little weaker than DF1, if that's possible. The play features which were unrealistic in DF1 remain so in DF2. Game play in general seems to be repetitive and routine, despite the attempts to set imaginative plots for each mission.
Still, the graphics have improved a bit, as have the types of available weapons. The sound effects are more realistic, including the distinctive sounds when each different weapon is fired. The feature of insertion by parachute has been added, which (as a former paratrooper) I find particularly enjoyable. The huge playable terrain areas remain a great strength, contributing to replayability and freedom of maneuver.
Nevertheless, this is just a superficial makeover of DF1, without any real substantive changes that impact gameplay. It's fun but it could have been so much more. Sadly, however, the opportunity was missed. Better luck with "DF: Land Warrior", which is the subject of my next review...

Summary: okay game
Review: Delta 1 was an awesome game. This follow-up was okay, the graphics were average, but the missions were sooo easy. I beat the entire game in 3 or 4 days. The really frustrating thing was that i couldnt control my teammates. The commands are like something like "Cover fire" or "resume mission" which gives you no options at all. You have to singlehandedly beat the missions.

Summary: Not worth it.
Review: The FPS genre isn't in danger of have greatness redefined by DF2. The graphics and controls are decent, meaning that you can generally distinguish targets and terrain and the movement isn't difficult to master. The fundamentals of the game are sound in that the solo missions are satisfying, the campaigns follow the same theme as the solo's, but it's the multiplayer that is the biggest let down. Unfortunately there are cheat codes that find their way into the multi-play. So, for example, if you are playing flagball and someone is using speed-cheat, forget it, the game is over. And there is almost always at least one person cheating. Artillery support in King of the Hill is equally ruinous of any fun. I definitely wish I had picked up another game. Once you get tired of the solo work, which is quick, the multiplay is so dissappointing that there is no long term value in the game. Wait for something better.

Summary: Almost , but not quite a great game
Review: I thought this game was a lot of fun but very unrealistic in some places, like when I was sniping at an enemy camp and the moment I fired a shot all people in the camp immediately spotted me and start firing at me. And also the red screen when you're getting shot is totally annoying, you can't see anything at all.

Summary: A GREAT ADDITION TO ANYONES COLLECTION
Review: This game is a great game to own because the graphics are great and the missions are great because I think there's 41 missions.Each mission you have to be on the look out for bad guys and hostages. The game hardly freezes-up and multiplayer is the best. Novalogic is the key to multiplayer. The arsenal of weapons is superb and shooting them are cool. When shooting with a sniper from a distance you have to cock your weapon up so the round can go up and come down on your enemy. If you buy the game and are a cheater and cheat in multiplayer, beware. Over all the game is awesome and I suggest who ever has the time to read this should diffenalty conseder buying it.

Summary: DELTA FORCE 2: "THE FINAL FRONTIER"
Review: The Delta Force was the United States best kept secret, now they have made it into a game so that young soldiers may experience the reality of war. In this game, you will encounter terrorists around the glob in many different terrains. During your online games, you will meet new and nice people. You may even join a squad. If you get bored of the single missions, download the Expansion Pack and play new missions or you will unlock new levels. Making levels of your own will be fun. Note: The map making software (Mission Editor) comes with the CD. ~Well, hope you enjoy! ;) (Spears=BOC=*Gen*)

Summary: not very fun but awsome weapons!
Review: I play a lot of first person shooters, and this isn't a very good game but it is ok. First I will tell you about the good things. The best thing on this game is the AI. For example if I accidently fired my gun you will hear yelling and shooting in the backround. One more good thing is the weapons, even though there aren't a lot they are awesome. The weapons avalibale are: M4 with shotgun, M4 with gernade launcher, Heckler and Koch MP5 sub machine gun, M249 Saw, M40a1 sniper rifle, Barret Light .50 sniper rifle, and 5.56 underwater assault rifle. As you can see these are some pretty cool weapons!! One more thing that makes this game grreaat is the multiplayer The bad things are the audio. For example i fire my asault rifle and 5 seconds later it makes the sound!! And this game takes forever to load!! But over all, this game is ok

Summary: Do not buy if you have a Voodoo 3 card!
Review: Even with a Pentium3 800 and 160M RAM, the constant stuttering, crashes and overall poor graphics quality make this game extremely aggravating if you use a Voodoo 3 card. The nighttime missions are especially bad because the horrible night vision goggles make the problem a lot worse. The missions are much longer than in the first game, with no ability to save during the mission. The missions themselves are designed for arcade style action with very little practical stucture. Does anyone actually believe the real Delta force sends a single, poorly armed soldier with two or four completely incompetant teammates into highly sensitive battle situations against heavily armed enemy factions? I doubt it. I wish Novalogic would make a more realistic Delta force. This is the only shooter game series I've seen with an open environment and non-linear mission structure. It has the potential to be much better than it is. At least they improved the graphics and VD3 compatibility in the third one.
