Advantages: Great AI and playability, each mission is different each time.

Disadvantages: Can be very slow without a good 3D card and processor

This game is a real time combat simulator set in the world of a police SWAT group. You are tasked to protect the public from armed terrorists and criminals as peace talks are taking place in your city.

You take control of the team leader in a five man unit. The weapons carried can be varied to meet the situation, such as the silent MP5SD for total surprise on hostage rescues, the shotgun to take out locked doors quickly. Flash bangs, CS gas, MP5A5, 1911A1, even the Colt AR-15 (M4) is replicated. You can use everyones view point but only control the commander directly. The game itself plays like a dream once the AI patch has been added, allowing the characters to even hide as they hose you down from all sides.

The game is challenging, and though may prove hard for a diehard one person shooter fan once the tactics are learnt in the shooting house the game proceeds fantastically, even allowing a non lethal shot to be taken, though frankly head shots are decidedly more appropriate as they drop everyone every time with one round.

Lock and load. Remember to tactical reload before you hear the deadmans click, look everywhere for the targets, at least offer the chance of surrender before pulling the trigger and don't hit your own men or the hostages (former makes all four turn on you at all costs, ending very messily with you very very dead, latter ends the mission big time!!). Have fun, this game is a must buy!!!
