Black Hawk Down Game Includes Fonix Speech Interface

Posted on April 19, 2005

NovaLogic Inc. will release the Xbox and PlayStation2 versions of Delta Force - Black Hawk Down in Q2 2005. The game includes the Fonix VoiceIn speech interface to allow players to use voice commands. Set in Somalia in 1993 and based upon the Operation Restore Hope and Task Force Ranger campaigns, players will take on the role of an elite Delta Force Operator as they participate in daring raids against the oppressive Somali warlords in and around Mogadishu.

Delta Force - Black Hawk Down offers both single player and multiplayer missions. Fonix's speech recognition interface was also used to enhance Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six 3, which received some good reviews.

Rod Oracheski of Gamingworldx, says, "Using the Communicator is as simple as it gets, gamers simply speak the orders. Though at first it feels a bit awkward to be talking to the television, the system works very well, even in the heat of battle."
