 Alot-o-Fun March 5, 2010

I bought this game for a friend of mine in high school and it always looked like a fun game, so when I found it, I had to buy it. It was a great game, not real tactical, but fun none the less.
 Cheap and boring December 18, 2004

This game had good potential but it turned out to be a cheap, low budget, and boring game. All you do is run through what is basically a maze and shoot whatever enemies you find before they shoot you.
If you want a good game of a similar genre get Rainbow-Six Raven Shield or wait for SWAT 4 to come out. They will be more expensive but worth it.

Great Potential June 7, 2004

The high point of the game is its realistic physics and textures. For the game play it runs extremely smooth for me. All I have is a original AMD Thunderbird 1.2 Ghz with 512 DDR and a Radon 9000 Pro and I have absolutely no problems (XP Pro). Those of you who have HT P4's with tricked out nvida(s) and it runs choppy need to figure out what's up. This game has so much potential it not funny. With some tweaking what you have is a realistic version of CS. The sounds are better, the effects are great (e.x. flash bangs and explosions) I cant really ask for any more. As for the difficulty, those gamers who are used to being like Rambo and shoot'n em' up, no wonder why its so hard for you. You need to act like the SS not trigger happy Duke Nukem. Just try it out for yourself and see...
Awsome but too hard December 31, 2003

This is one of the most entertaining, awsome first person shooters I've played, (right up there with the Delta Force series.) In my opinion, the strongest point of this game is the AI, lighting/shadowing, the physics (especially in wounding an enemy.) One reviewer said that the enemies just fall over like stumps when you shoot them. I'm not sure if we're reviewing the same game; the death sequences are the most realistic I've seen. The only time they ever "fall over like stumps" is when you shoot them directly in the head, (in which case they're supposed to fall over like stumps.) The graphics are average/good, but the realism is far ahead of any other first person shooter I've played (though I haven't played them all.)
But the developers made one terrible mistake. There is no quick save option. You can't save positions during a level like almost all other first person shooters, only between the levels. I'm sure that one could argue that this adds to the realism of the game, but to me, this makes the game virtually impossible. There's a difference between a challenging game and a really frusterating game; it's just too hard. I (like many other reviewers it seems) can't even get past the first level on easy mode, (without cheat codes that is.) You can find the cheat codes on the internet through any search engine. I honestly don't know how the programers expected anyone to be able to beat this game otherwise. It's still a good game and alot of time was put into it.
