This game is terrible i bought it thinking it was going to be good but it is a major disapointment. I only got past the first level if you want a shooting game you should buy timesplliters. The gameplay is hard to get used to, and storyline makes no since. I think EA should stick to sports games.

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.

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.

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.

its ok, but gets boring

X squad is really fun at first, kind of like a metal gear solid tipe of game, but it gets a little confusing and starts to not make sence. After that there are some parts that are a little fun like sneaking past gaurds, but it is preety boring. It took me a month to find out how to save, and after you get far and then just die, its not one of those games you want to play again.This game could of been a lot better. The strenghts are you can command your partner what to do and its fun to sneak past gaurds and soldiers. the weaknesses are its boring watching the movies and walking through a hall for 10 minuets. X sqaud also hard how to find out how to save. This is a game you should definitly rent first, if your store doesnt have ps2 games to rent, wait to the price is lower, then if you really want to, you should buy it.

EA Production Staff should be ashamed!

When purchasing the game i heard all the decent to horrible reviewes it received, but i still purchased it. Dont make the same mistake i did, X-Squad is a truly bad game which makes you second guess PS2's capabilities (at least it did for me!)

Fun At First, But Not a "Must Have"

I was one of those people who lined up super early October 26 to get my hands on the much anticipated Playstation 2. I was lucky, and got one. Unfortunately I blew all my money on that and had to wait for my next paycheck to afford a game. The first game I picked was X-Squad. An eye-catching cover, and neat pictures on the back lured my into purchasing it in hopes that it would be much like 007 for a N64. I went to a friends house to play it first, and at first was stunned by the detail graphics. But that was mostly because I wanted them to be good, and I didn't examine them very closely. Once the gameplay started, I had a difficult time controlling my character. After about a half dozen games I finally got the hang of it and can now move around with ease. Its fun to run around, and there is a fair amount of killing to be done, only its not detailed. If you hit a guy its either A) fatal and he drops on the spot ...or... B)a gut shot were he doubles over then after several seconds miracuously heals himself and starts shooting again. The part I don't like about the game is that frequently through-out it the characters have short dialouges, which at first were helpful, but get to be an annoyance since you can't skip over them.

Still, I played the game for hours on end late into the night just to see what various weapons did at different ranges. About 10 days ago I picked up "Smuggler's Run" and haven't touched X-Squad since, its not a hard decision at all, hands down "SR" blows away X-Squad.

So while its fun at first I wouldn't reccomend picking this one up... it loses its "coolness" and gets to be more of a chore then a game to play. There are many better PS2 titles out there.

Not great, but decent.

Overall, X-squad is an average game. After playing for a few minutes, I had to check to make sure I didn't buy an old Playstation One game by accident. The game is not a particularly bad one, it just didn't meet my expectations of the amazing graphics and gameplay that I expected of a PS2 game. The plot is bad, but who cares? If you're buying the game for plot, something's wrong with you anyway. However, it does get slightly annoying when the game pauses for the characters to have their short, painful conversations. Graphics are smooth, but unremarkable. Again, it seems like a well-programmed PSX game. Gameplay is decent. There is a fair amount of shooting, and you do get an ample amount of ammunition to keep shooting. The variety of weapons is good. After completing each section, you can use your points to buy new weapons, armor, and items (energy packs/health packs/etc). During gameplay, you can give commands to your teammates (stay, attack, stealth mode). But the funny thing is, I don't think they listen. They sort of do their own thing regardless of what you tell them to do. They are all pretty good at drawing fire away from you though, so I can't complain. Should you buy the game? No. Not when there are some pretty good games out now, and even better ones which I am sure will come out soon. If you must buy it, buy it used. I think the games will get much better when the programmers learn more what the PS2 is capable of.

It's OK

THis game is pretty good except for the fact that it is very hard and the gameplay is VERY disappointing. When i bought this game i thought it would be alot like the Tomb Riader games. It is.........except it is much more hard and borring. THe graphics are are great but once you get to the 2nd and 3rd missions, it gets really hard. If you ask me, RENT THIS ONE FIRST BEFORE YOU DECIDE TO BUY!
