I got this because it was cheap but my grandson loves it because he said it was way cool. He enjoys the action and role playing. Easy to understand and graphic are well done.

Yawn.

Another review to a average game. Well, i need to put my opinion to it. Pretty good for a early PS2 game, but then i didn't hear about PS2 until 2001, this game came out 2000. The charecters are godawful. They say affirimitive 4 times before doing something. The voice acting sounds like they are reading from cue cards. Syphon Filter 2 is a lot better than this game, and it's on PS1! EA could've done so much better. The A.I. is pathetic. Not much "stealth" ither. The graphics, gameplay, and choosing your weapons through points save this from a 1.

This Game needs Improvement

If you read my review on the PLaystation 2 I was misleading. The technical support they offered me was great, and when I recieved my Playstation, It worked like a whistle. I suggest you get a ps2, but should purchase an extended warranty plan. Anyways I am here to talk about X Squad. When my playstaion was finally working properly I played X squad with eagerness. Once I started playing I thought it was the worst shooter game I have ever played. The contols were terrible. Once I got used to the controls I learned that I enjoyed the game. It took me only 3 hours to beat the game. It is way to easy, and could use better graphics. EA games should release another X Squad but it should be awesome like Medal of Honor Frontline ( EA games also makes Medal of Honor)

Good Early PS2 Title

For one of the first PS2 games this is a pretty solid shoot-em-up. Granted, much better ones have appeared since, but with the new low price I would still recommended this to someone looking for a solid action-filled game that isn't too difficult.

The perspective is 3rd-person, which might turn some off, but after getting accustomed to the controls this game can be rewarding. One high point is the availability of good weapons that you can earn with more points, making it a good challenge to outfit yourself properly before each mission. For instance, you have 3 different kinds of shotguns, 3 different sniper rifles, and even a massive Predator-style chain gun.

This game features you as Ash, the leader of the X-Squad, which include 3 other members. The effectiveness of the other members is highly dependent on your strategy and leadership during the action as well as your willingness to outfit your team with good weapons. (They all have the default handgun.) You may often choose to hog all of the great weapons to yourself as this is tempting, but equipping the team with shotguns and assault rifles will significantly increase their usefulness (instead of sending them in as cannon fodder). There's the usual shoot-em-up story, which I'm rarely concerned with. This one is serviceable and sets up plenty of violent action.

Big complaint - the lack of a Mature rating. Sure the game is violent, but there is not blood or gore, something Red Faction and Half Life feature liberal doses of.

Still, at the new discounted price, this is worthy for a long weekend of leisure. It's at least a solid rental. Sadly, no 2 player mode. A death match would have been a nice touch.

Not a bad effort from EA, known more for their sports games. Their 007 Agent Under Fire for PS2 is a much better game with more extras.

Interesting concept - Pretty cool game

I orginally bought this game because it supports 4 players. Even with a large-screen TV (55 inches), it is too difficult for each player to see enough of their scree to identify the enemies.

I do like the aiming system in this game, much better than most First Person Shooter-type games. Playing in 2 person mode is pretty good. It is difficult, but not TOO difficult to control the character in the game.

OK

Its an ok game. Its only really good if u play it the first few times so u should rent it. Don't get this game if you have played many shooter games and r good at them. I recommend this game for People who have never played a shooter before. I rented the game and it is pretty good and I was so excited to get it then I rented Metal gear solid 2 and it just blew this game out of the water. I fI were u I would Just Get Metal Gear solid 2 or 007 Agent under Fire, They're more fun and have better graphics.

This is a game you shoul RENT, not buy

This game is pretty good until you reach about the fifth level. Then, it just gets boring. You do the same thing over and over again. I think you shouldn't waste your money.

fun game

I think X squad is a very interesting and at the same time hard. I would probably recommend it to someone about 10 or 11, and someone who is willing to sit down for hours and just play. I like the next generation guns missle launchers cool shotguns ray guns that mkes it very fun for young people.
