Delta Force Xtreme 2

DO NOT BUY - It requires you to log into a database that is no longer active

I write this as someone who has followed the Delta Force series since the very begining. I had Delta Force 1 when it was new, followed by Delta Force 2, and finally Land Warrior. I got Black Hawk Down and Task Force Dagger a while after their release. All I can say is that although the earlier games still entertain me when I want an easy retro FPS to kill some time, Xtreme 2 is more like Xtreme Frustration. Everything about it sucks. Don't buy it, and don't buy any package if you're buying it to get Xtreme 2. Stick to the other games in the series.

great game

This along with Task Force Dagger is without doubt the worst in the series (can't tell if this or the other one is the worst), still it is mediocre but not that terrible (same for Task Force Dagger).

Brought on a whim for a nostalgia kick. The usual stuff is still there. big maps, clunky AI, sneaky enemies that lurk and one shot you, awkward gun/gadget selection. This lacks the charm of the earlier games (mainly because aside from a graphics upgrade there's not much that's changed in way of gameplay or the peak of Black Hawk Down). The last game released by Novalogic it's really not worth the £15 asking price. From 2009 it's about as dated as you'd expect. Although I've a fondness for the series I'd personally stick with the older titles. Recommended only if you're a completionist or a nostalgia buff (like me). For those struggling to get this (and other Delta Force titles) to work on modern hardware get on over to novahq dot net. Head over to the 'files' section, select your game and the downloads there will solve all your graphics and authentication problems (can't speak for multiplayer).

Luckily I bought this as a package, so I didn't waste too much of my money. The other Delta Force games seem to work, but this one is no more. Don't buy this game by itself, or you will be wasting your money. Steam is not currently issuing refunds for it.
