You cant judge a game by its cover.

I bought this on its release date just by looking at its cover. There is no introduction to game play and they just throw you onto the game. The videos played but no sound could be heard so you just have to guess what your mission is. I returned mine beacuse of a defect (the video sound). Stick to Half-Life, The Rainbow 6 series, Swat 3, or Operation Flash Point if you want a tried and true first person shooter.

"You can't judge a game by it's cover" is Wayyyyyy off !

I couldn't disagree with your comments above more strongly. I, a very long time 1st person shooter fan, found this game to be quite refreshing when compared to other similar titles. I agree that the Rainbow 6 series, OFP (patched, not the release version), and Half-Life are quality games, and I believe Secret Service is in their league.
(you mention liking OFP, I also purchased it, and until their latest patch, was very unsatisfied with it)
I don't know what kind of "introduction to gameplay" you want, but this game seemed very intuitive to me. The weapons are sweet! The missions kick a*& !
If you want a true 1st person shooter, this IS the game for you!

Oh my God FPS's dont get much worse.

(...)I bought this game without reading reviews or anything, I thought it looked cool so i got it. Pop it in...ok looks cool enough. Ok I didnt get past the first mission, so thats all i can base this on. The screen flickered and there was a lot of lag, even though I have a brand new Sony Vaio!! There is no reason for anyone to buy this game when there are so many better games out there. Dont even buy it if you've bought Rainbow 6, Delta Force, and all those other great games and you're curious. WAIT FOR ANOTHER FPS TO COME ALONG, ITS NOT WORTH THE MONEY!!!!! You'll thank me for telling you this.

This game is verrrrrrrrrry kool.

I bought this game thinking it would be in the league of SWAT 3. In 2 hours of playing it, I'm barely able to reach the 2nd level of the mission. To start, I'm running a pentium 4 1.6GHZ, to a 19 inch trinitron, backed up with a Nividia Geforce3 TI series graphics card, and I STILL had problems with the video lag. The game play is fast paced, sloppy, and like someone else said on this site, uninvolved. They throw you into the game like it's some sort of Doom game. However...for 10 bucks this game is WELL worth it. It's got cool weapons, decent graphics when the screen isnt flooded, and it may keep you interested for a few days. For 30 bucks, look elsewhere, I suggest SWAT 2, or SWAT 3.

**UPDATE**

For this price, you MIGHT wanna try this game. It was more expensive when I bought it (blindly without reading reviews) and I was upset when I wrote my review!! Its NOT a great game, but this is fairly [inexpensive] for a game, so if your bored and have everything else, why not

HARD BUT ROCKS

Very good game. It is so realistic and has great guns. I have never seen a game so realistic as this. You can hurt people by shooting through walls. This is a kick ... game.

laggy but has potential

The ONLY reason that I rate this game average is because it lags wayyyyyy too much. I have a 3dfx video card, voodoo sound card, 152 MB of RAM (much more than it calls for) and gigs of hard drive space. With that, i shut down all un-needed system resources and it STILL lagged very badly. However, the game is realistic, has a wide variety of guns such as the mp5k,mossberg 590DA pump action 12 gauge shotgun, stoner sr-25, RPG, sig-sauer in .357 magnum, FN-FAL, glock .45 caliber, Uzi, mac-10, ak-47,m-4 carbine and MANY others. From what my computer could handle, the game was awsome and makes you feel like the movie "Black Hawk Down" was. So if you have a computer with a fast processer, megs of RAM, and powerful video and sound card ... DO NOT hesitate to buy this game

This is a very cool game and definitely is in the league of the other great FPS games out there today. The only problem that I have encountered that takes away from the fun, are the problems that I have even with somewhat of a fast computer. As the game progresses, it slows down due to the clutter of the people you kill etc...You definitely need 256RAM to truly enjoy the game the way it was meant to be enjoyed. Once you don't have to worry about the glitches, the environments are very cool and will keep you interested for a long time. The people are very realistic and have true to life physics in the way they fall when they are shot or blown up.

good game but not for an ameteur player
