"I like it, but it lacks many things."

Delta Force ''I like it, but it lacks many things.'' - 5/10

Introduction
Well, a pretty old first person shooter. I say it is pretty much a ''pre'' version of the upcoming game ''Army''. Actually Nova Logic has made a lot of first person shooters, and still hasn't became one of those first class developing companies, like Sierra and Digital Extremes (Unreal Tournament developer.) But that does not really matter because, Nova Logic still rules, with ''not really famous games which are really cool.''

Controls
Not quite like most popular first person shooters like Half Life's default controls with the ''WASD'' buttons to move, but with the old schooled arrow buttons. And there is the Ctrl and the left click to fire. Right and ''S'' with the scope if you have a weapon with a scope. And finally the middle click if you have one (Mostly the slider), makes you lay down or changes back to standing. And the numbers on the top of your keyboards changes the weapons. And ''End'' Makes you crouch.

Gameplay
Well, the game is pretty much straight forward, search and destroy, but sometimes you need to find items, like laptops and stuff. The enemies' AI isn't the best either, there aren't even on single evasion move while in close combat. And their shooting accuracy isn't good either.

Graphics
Well, it's probably the worst part, you can actually see the pixels! The things aren't smooth while playing. (But it's good in the menu screens.) And from far away you can see some pixels moving around with a beige colored one on top, so that'll just tell you where the enemy is, so where's the challenge?

Music and Sound Effects
Amazing how they actually almost pulled it off with bad composing! The only music is in the menu screens, and the Sound Effects are pretty much similar: Gunshots, explosion, gunshot with a sound reducer, ect...

Online Mode
Amazing, I like it a lot, you can actually get recognizes by your skills on here, since only about 200 people play online, with the Nova Logic's server NovaWorld. But a lot of trainer using and hacking is involved. Also for some people you can't get into NovaWorld for some reasons, but yet you can from before. So server problems. (Some of these will be mentioned below.)

Final Comments and Rating
Comments: I like it a lot, especially the online mode on Nova Logic's server ''NovaWorld'' yet, security lacks, hacking, trainers, and other bad stuff happens, even in the NovaWorld Public games! So there isn't much fun while you're tried to shoot down an opponent and another opponent speed hacks in back of you can stabs you...

Ratings:
Gameplay and Controls: 7/10
Graphics: 4/10
Music and SFX: 5/10
I like it very much, but it lacks a great amount of things.
