I used to hold Rainbow 6 and the likes as among the best game of its genre till Swat 3 Elite Edition came out. At last a game that is realistic, where you actually try to arrest bad guys instead of lodging a bullet or two right between their ears. The controls are easy to use, the sound and picture are of really great quality plus the missions are well done. What else could we ask from a game? Buy it now and you won't regret it. Roger that!

Cool game.

An overall badass game. The interface is very well done, contains all the orders needed to run a SWAT team, but it's not too complex so even the casual gamer can figure it out. Great graphics, much better than Rainbow 6. This is a, as I stated before, great game, great sound, great graphics, and lots o' shootouts make it fun as hell. Sorry for the concise review but I can't sum it up any better without using incredible vulgarity, and lots of hand gestures.

Best FPS ever

This is the most realistic game of it's kind. AI is unbelievable and the levels are very detailed. If you're looking for a game where you just go around mindlessly shooting people, this isn't the game for you. Tactics and strategy play a very big part. You give on-the-fly orders to your teammeates and try to bring everyone (including suspects) back alive. And like the title says BEST FPS EVER, I don't know how anyone can give SWAT 3 a bad rating.

ADDICTED to SWAT3

Exciting game for players who wants to fight and use their brain simultaneously. You can be a killer but you must be a good commander too. I've been playing SWAT3 for 6 months and I still feel emotions starting missions.

Do not worry at first time when you are fresh with all the functions, equipment etc. Try them with no purpose to win the mission.

NOW SWAT3 Elite offers new, longer missions and multiplayer functions. So now you can have fun with Real opponents, but remember: Artificial Intellingence works nice either.

If you are going to buy download the demo first and check whether it is GOOD TO BUY for you !

Swat 3 revisited

Christmas 1999 - My brother-in-law presents me with Swat 3, the original version. Not a bad game, just short. I thought to myself "This game is DIEING for multi-player", but oh well, I finished it in about a week and kinda forgot about it. Moved on to other drugs like Code Name: Hitman and The Rogue Spear.

Flash forward to Nov 2001 - I'm looking for the NEW game that won't leave me wanting to burn my PC in to a smoldering hunk of metal like World War II On-Line has (...). I buy Operation Flashpoint. Not bad. Kinda buggy, the multi-player is....ok. I'm still craving more. I run across a review of Swat 3-Game of the Year version. "Hmmm" I think to my self "Swat 3 was a good game but "Game of the Year"?!?! What year?". I start looking deeper in to what "Game of the Year" means. Seems that Sierra Studios has updated Swat 3 three times! and since I had the original version I could upgrade for free!!!! So unlike other software manufacturers who charge for relatively small "upgrades", Sierra Studios upgrades (and dramatically changes the game for the better) for free! This game now ROCKS!!! I love FPS games like Rogue Spear and HATE Half Life/Quake/Doom games. I need realism, one bullet to the head and you die. That's a game! With Swat 3 you have that realism. One of my favorite things about this game that I wish other games would incorporate is the way bullets react to solid objects. If I have a M16 and I shoot at a wooden door the bullets would pass right thru and strike whatever was on the other site, but if I fire the same gun at a brick wall, the bullets would not penetrate. It makes it very interesting to hide in a room and to watch the bullets rip thru the wall right next to your head from a fire fight out side! The co-op levels of the game where you have to go in and rescue people or disarm bombs are great. Lots of team work breaching doors, stacking up and rushing in to a dark room after the flash bang goes off! Man! What a good time! But some times I feel just like running around in Man's Chinese Theater and blowing Perps away with a shotgun, and with the Deathmatch/Last Man Standing levels they added you can do it!
So basically if you are looking for an incredible FPS with killer Mulit-player/Deathmatch, this is the game for you. Also since the game is getting old the price should be falling.

WOW! I recently bought this game and enjoy it througly! It has outstanding graphics and great realism. The game has good multiplayer, though not at all as good as Counter-Strike's. The networking code in CS is just hands down unbeatable. The missions in SWAT are soo detailed with customizable weapons, team members, and tools. With good mission brefings the game missions spelled out for you. Buy this game if you enjoy intense action and great team play. Enjoy!

Eyes on and provide Cover!!

This game is by far the best thing that has hit the market EVER! This is no alien blastin' jet pack wearin' silly space cowboy mumbo jumbo...THIS IS THE REAL DEAL!! I mean, the action is great, the controls are very easy to manage...and the freakin' gameplay is super. I spent countless hours playing online in DeathMatch, Coop, LastManStanding & Team DeathMatch.

One crucial factor is the MOD downloads you must obtain and utilize correctly to truly get the most out of this game. The ChimeraV1.0 MOD is really all you will need. This makes the game better by offering many more cool weapons and also different "skins" for your SWAT member to wear (theres even a [...]little babe you can be if you choose to mix it up a bit!)Also with Chimera the blood is ALOT more graffic.

If you tend to enjoy exotic tobacco blends, and cold domestic beers, then this game is most certainly for you. One word of WARNING...Dont let the kids look over your shoulder while you play, because this type of thing could really screw up their heads (with the violence and such!) Buy this game (and a comfy computer chair). I have a serious gaming rig --so I can't comment on if this will run well on your PC or not.

BUY THIS GAME__BUY THIS GAME__BUY THIS GAME>>>

IAm porud to say that I own it!!!!

When you get down to it, the rainbow six games are overrated. SWAT teams handle much more than international terrorism, a fact which SWAT 3 protrays vividly. The AI is incredible and really makes for a good sim. Buy this game. It's a good price.

a game of mind puzzling decisions
