I live for playing arcade style first person shooters, so i was a little hesitant to buy this one since it was labelled a tactical fps. I was certainly not disappointed. It keeps the fun action of the arcade style and blends in a few elements of a tactical shooter, just enough to make a somewhat realistic arcade style shooter. the fact that the missions in 1 player are all seperate and reward different medals for accomplishing different things, makes it enjoyable to play the missions again and again. If you too enjoy first person shooters, you will probably enjoy swat.

One of the Best FPS since Halo

SWAT: GST is an excellent game with few flaws. The gamepaly is excellent and provides fast-paced action. Despite it being a "Tactical Shooter," the games is more similar to Halo at times, wild firefights. The four weapons in the game are especially well-designed and you'll like using them, I love the assault rifle espiecially. The many weapon upgrades (ammunition, recoil, aiming, clip size) keep things interesting as well. The AI is excellent, your teammebers are actually helpful (never get stuck in walls, very responsive) instead of just being cannon foddler. The voice-regonition is good as well. The only bad points are that the game lacks length and story, I beat the single player in 2 days on easy. Also, the graphics are not superb, but relatively all right. Overall, if you want a good FPS for your xbox, this is the game to get.

What A Great Game!

Your either SWAT or your not! This Game is filled with action, mystery, and surprise. It's the next Halo. How good are you? Challenge your self on many exciting frightful missions and skill levels. You won't be able to drop the controller. Defuse bombs, bust the bad guys, upgrade your weapons. There are lots of great tools such as gas masks, many types of grenades, and guns, night vision gogles, glow sticks, and binoccluars. The 2 player cooperative missions are excellent. Work as a team to complete many missions. Trust me buy this game! Check out the many other exciting features. Don't bomb yourself, buy it.

Sincerely,
Ultimate Swat Commander

Fans of the PC version may be disappointed!

This is a great game regardless of the fact that it's not as good as it's PC counterpart. You can't command your team to disperse grenades and you only have two team members. They're good for support and when they're required for specific tasks such as picking locks or hacking computer terminals. The AI is mediocre. At times you may order someone to cover a particular area and they'll just stand there watching the bad guys come at you. On Elite(hard) mode, the game starts out very easy and gets progressively harder. You earn points for capturing suspects (alive) which can be difficult at times. Points may be used to upgrade your weapons. This is a little cheesy, but it gives the game some replay value. It's also nice to have a 99 round magazine instead of 30. There are four weapons. Choose either the assault rifle, shotgun, Uzi or sniper rifle. The siper rifle can only be used on certain missions based on the storyline or in multiplayer split screen mode. You have night vision, a gas mask, CS Gas grenades, flash bangs and glowsticks at your disposal. The multiplayer split screen game is fun and has 10 separate missions. You can play all 21 single and 10 multiplayer modes in a time attack mode. As this would suggest, you run the missions on a timer. The graphics and sound are slightly above average. I don't have a communicator but I bet issuing verbal commands through the headset adds a little more realism. Overall a great game at a great price.

Awsome team work

Wish I did not buy it because the game is really dull and not as good as the other SWAT series games because they have tagged on some sort of a silly story that is not as dramatic as ANY type of SWAT gameplay that we have done before. The graphics however are good and the control easy to use but the game lacks any serious tone or theme, does not have that many functions (3 guns, 5 types of grenades, some updates for guns earned by tokens after you complete a level and 4 or 5 orders you can give to your team mates [max of two only team mates!]). It plays more like some Arcade game as you move about the levels. It is a serious step back in the wrong direction for the SWAT series. I would recommend renting this before you choose to buy it. It is only just okay but the gameplay value is not there and it misses suspense completely. YAWN.

great game

I JUST BOUGHT THIS GAME, THE MULTY PLAYER CAN NOT MATCH HALO BUT IS ALRIGHT. BUT THE REGULAR GAME IS GREAT. IF YOU PLAY ON EASY A CHILD COULD PROBLY BEAT IT...BUT IF YOU PUT THE GAME PLAY TO THE HIGHEST LEVEL IT IS HARD! I WOULD RENT THIS GAME BEFORE BUYING IT BECOUSE YOU MAY NOT LIKE HOW THE CONTROLES ARE SET. BUT I LIKE IT!

I just recieved this in the mail from amazon today. I haven't played it yet, but it looks cool. I'm gonna order the speaker set. This is gonna be better than splinter cell. In splinter cell, you had to be careful and couldn't take any chances. In this game you can take chances. Also, you have others with you to back you up. The graphics look cool. I hope this game is as much fun as it looks.

i was just wondering
