I don't think there are many of these types of games around. By 'these' I mean somewhat realistic non-first person shooters. Especially on the xbox, where aliens and purple colored things always ship. Adding that it takes place in the Gulf War makes it all the better. There are some neat new things not seen elsewhere; One of my favorites is having the ability to call in air strikes. The army does actually do this, send out teams who identify targets on the ground and lock in their position, which then are bombed by planes. This was done a lot in Afghanistan for example. For the most part, you do the same stuff as in RogueSpear/Counterstrike/Others, plant explosives, remotely set them off, get a gun, a rifle and an anti-tank missile launcher. There are different kinds of each, from m16 to a ak47 and so on. I haven't seen a tactical team mode this well developed elsewhere, you can switch between several people very easily, issue orders and so on. It's clever. It does try to keep close to reality, on easier levels it's not 'one shot kills', but it's pretty close when you're near by a shooter. Though if you're shot, you switch to another team mate, who comes with a medical kit and fixes you up, you can do this forever really, unless all of your team is dead. Which is why you don't take your entire team for scouting, one or two at a time.

I'd say the graphics were very good, especially the city missions. Sound is DD5.1 and it's nice, if the soundtrack isn't to your liking you have the option of playing your own stuff of the xbox's hard drive (music you've ripped).

Again, xbox hadn't a game like this yet, and it's something that a lot of you Counterstrike fans might enjoy. Halo is fun, but in terms of gameplay, but this feels more natural. In October and November there'll be a slew of games, with Xbox Live coming out and all, including Ghost Recon and MGS2 and Splinter Cell, I wonder if this games might be missed. I sure hope not.

A Great Game

This is the first shooter game I played where you can move in squads and at the same time switch from third person to first person. The graphics are great and the controls are even better. You can switch the people while in your squad. Each person has different capabbilities. Each soldier also improves in ranks and can get medals plus even improve in skills such as rifleman, sniper, medic, and combat engineer. I highly reccomend this game

Great Game

This is a great action/combat game for the XBOX. You control up to 4 different characters to accomplish military objectives in game set during the Gulf War.

The missions are entertaining and challenging. The graphics are realistic, character control is easy, and map layout is great.

One downside, once you have completed the game, it will seem too short. I would have loved more missions. The multiplayer action adds gameplay, but I need more missions in singleplayer mode.

Overall a 8.5 out of 10. A very under-rated game that deserves a sequel.

Terrific single player game

This game is a great way to waste a weekend. It was difficult to master the controls at first, but once I moved past that simple obstacle, I had a great time. I like the difficulty of the game, and it's realism.
It's unlike Halo or Time Splitters 2 where you can just blast your way through when you get in trouble. You really have to think and maneauver.
Controlling four squad members at once is a very interesting and fun tactically. This is a perfect mix between real time strategy formats and first person shooter, and the command options really add a sense of depth to the strategies.
I played it with a few of my buddies, and we really enjoyed the multiplayer games. All in all, it's worth the fifty bucks.

GREAT GAME

this game is now added to my short list of xbox favorites. This games got everything great graphics, EXTREMELY realistic (airstrikes, c4, m16, and of course SNIPERS), another thing is that you can upgrade the inividuals on my team based on the individuals play in the previous level. Its got very clever squad based action and easy command usage, and my favorite anti tank missles. One of the only bad things about this game is that its a little slow on switching weapons. Last thing the enemy AI is one of the best i have ever seen.

Best War Game Ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This game really got trashed by Xbox magazine who said that the controls sucked and there was a problematic frame rate. The controls are hard to master but you get used to them and I dont notice anythung about the frame rate. In training mode, you can zoom in on your instructor's face while he is talking but his lips dont move. It is pretty funny. This game is easy at first but gets hard by the third level. There are 15 levels. A hint: To defeat tanks with no rockets left you have to have two smoke greanades and a C4 explosive. Throw a smoke grenade at the tank. This wont do any harm to it but make a smoky atmosphere so you can creep up to it, undetected. Get as close to tank as possible so its wild shots cant hit you. Plant the C4 next to the tank. If the smoke starts clearing throw another smoke grenade. Run away from the tank and detonate the explosive. Good bye tank!
Note: If the tank is moving, plant a tank mine in the road.
I find that Foley seems to die before the others but dont let him die! He is your only sniper. Dont be him because i find it hard to control the sniper rifle. In multiplayer, which is only co-operative play which is fine with me because my sister would never want to play me, one person is connors and bradley and the other is foley and jones. I usually am foley and jones but I use jones even though he has horrible guns. He is tough and is the only one who can plant C4's. Hint: To kill someone and not raise an alarm, woud them with a silent pistol, dont kill because you will need as much ammo as you can get. Then walk up to the wounded guy with a knife and finish him off. I hope you find my hints useful.

Great replay value

Sure the graphics are outdated and the control system takes some getting used to but once your past that you will be hooked on this game forever. The replay value is increadable, as you can get promotions and medals. Once your through the game you instantly start a new game and attempt to get all the award this game offers. The shooting sequences, although not intense put you at the edge of the seat as you are thankful to be alive from one second to the next. Get three of your friends together this weekend and kill the night (And the terrorists...)

The Best War Game I Have Ever Played!!!!!!!!!!!

I have very few words describing this game. I think this game is really good and hard to accomplish which is why this is a must buy game. This game has a 4 player cooperative game play for those who seek another game similar to Halo. The game needs a little more detail in the graphics but that didn't bother me that much when I was into the game amd that's why a give the game 5 stars instead of 4. You get to drive trucks, tanks and you get to call for air strikes. You get to control 4 player at the same time and this game will surely prepare you for the upcoming Brute Force game coming in January or earlier December.

Very entertaining

This game is great! The reason being that it is completely up to you to develop a strategy for a certain situation. Whether the situation is ambushing a base or destroying scuds, it all depends on how you set each member of your team to do a specific task. It has major replay value just on the strategy aspect alone. I hope the producer: Jack of All Games, develops more games with this type of genre.

The game I've been waiting for!!!

This is an awesome game altogether. 1st you've got the 4 player cooperate ability, meaning 1-4 players can play on the same team through the story line. 2nd you've got a wide range of guns, bombs, and medics( medics are able to heal you. and your team mates can heal you if you are dead). The guns have realistic settings including, grenade shot, single shot, and fully automatic. 3rd your players increase in skill and can earn badges. they also get certain recognition, in stars. Like if you are an expert with bombs, you can become a bomb specialist wicth in return, arms you with more bombs on the next level. To sum it all up this game will keep you addicted for months, and it's worth every penny, certainly a good buy for any gamer.
