Just frickin' lame

You can't jump, you fellow marines' AI is annoying as hell:

"I can't reach the destination."
"I can't reach the destination."
"I can't reach the destination."

Why? Because-- oh my God-- there's a stray beer can in the way that they can't jump over. The movement is slow, the graphics play is loser-like, and the enemy is ridiculous. You don't get a backup weapon like a pistol or anything. This game is a total waste of $35. DON'T buy it.

Here is the formula:

Full Spectrum Warrior - everything good + a slow 1st person shooter with blocky movements = Close Combat: First to Fight

Whatever.....

I heard so many rumors about this game, and it was so talked up by everybody I knew, and it suposedly got good reviews, so I bought it in quick anticipation of what I thought would be a thriller. THIS GAME SUCKS! I mean nothing will ever compare to Full spectrum warrior, and who argues with that other wise is a moron, the game play is so slow, and I hated the way you control your team. I could go on forever, but I would not recommend this game to anyone.

I would rather go to war and get shot at than play this!!

Easily said that this could quite possibly be the worst game on the market.This game is just so lame,yeah I love the war genre just as much as the next person,but this game I think makes a complete mockery of any military shooters out there that are actually GOOD,like full spectrum warrior, I think that beats the hell out this FPS,in the add for ths thing it said it was so realistic that the marines use it as a traing tool,yeah they use it alright thats the reason they are getting shot!Moving on to the review.Nice graphics,character models in particuler.the weapons are realistic yet corny,and the controls in the game are some of the worst in years,look steer clear of this one OK?you wont regret it.and one more thing this things multi player is in its own geeky way fun,hah just kidding it sucks,thanks for reading this and I hope it was helpful to you if not Im really sorry,look for my other reviews trust me you cant miss them,hope they are helpful too if you ever find them!

One of the worst games on Xbox

After hearing good things about this game, I finally decided to buy it, and it was one of the worst mistakes I've made in a long time. Let me start by saying that action games, specifically shooters, are by far my favorite genre. Some of my recent favorites are Killswitch, Rainbow Six Vegas, Sniper Elite, Fear, Condemned, Project Snowblind, Prey and Nightfire just to name a few. Basically, I've been playing FPSs since Medal of Honor on PS1 and SOF on PC, so inexperience is not the reason I dislike this game.

This game is just terrible as a whole. The graphics are abysmal, the gameplay is not challenging or fun, the sound is bad, plus there is zero originality. This game has no redeeming factors, and this is coming from a legitimate fan of the genre. The guns look terrible, the squad controls are weak, and the levels are uninspired. I just can't think of anything good to say about this game. The second you get past the menus and the gameplay starts everything just keeps getting worse and worse. The only people who I can see defending this are people that tested it or kids who don't know better.

If you want a good action game, play any of the ones I listed, all of them are $10 or less now, and it's the best time to pick them up if you haven't already. This game is a total failure, and anyone who says otherwise simply hasn't played any good shooters. Try Rainbow Vegas or Global Operations (A PC classic) if you want a good counter-terrorist experience. Even the port of Counter Strike on Xbox is more fun than this trash, and that's saying something.

First of all i am 15 years old (16 in october) not 12,i just don't feel like registering right now.

When i first heard about "First to Fight" and saw the previews and screen-shots i was very exited,as i am an avid tactical shooter fan.

The ads and previews said it was a sqaud based shooter,with a new "phycology" AI (artificial inteligece) system in place to help your sqaud,and enemy OP-FORS act and react more realisticly to the chaos of war.

I thought cool, another ghost recon/rainbow six, one shot one kill,instant death,tactical kind of games.

NO.

The manual talks about setting up ambushes,use stealth,and breaking the ememy's will to fight.
But is (alost always)imposible to do these things because almost everthing is scripted.

For example:After pain-staikingly clearing out a road full of angry malitia-men,you move on to the target buiding father down the road only to cross an invisible line,triggering a mob of OP-FORS that swarm you from all directions leaving you to fight off the mob by yourself while your stu... uh i mean mentally challenged,team mates (ahem) just stand around and take pot shots like untrainded amnesia ridden fools who have never seen an m-16 in there lives.

Squad commands are almost imposible to coordinate because you have to be able to see an enemy to order supression fire from your team.And while you have your crosshair on the target's head why not just shoot,instead of asking one of you "elite" sqaud members to do it?

On the plus side the Sound is very good.Gun shots are loud and crisp,explotions sound cool,and the music is good.

The controls are decent,very playable and easy to use.
I you push the thumb-stick forward all the way you will walk at a slower pace that allows you to aim better(This is usefull for clearing streets)if you tap the thumbstick forward twice,your charecter will run fast with his gun down,and you will not be able to shoot.

The graphics are bland and empty,there is little imersion in the game.This is 2005,games should be looking better than this,Halo proved that in november of 2001.

Pros-

good physics
great sound design
decent story
cool intro
pick up and play controls
room takdowns are effective

Cons-

Horible AI
Bland graphics
No mission list
heavilly scripted
all-around,not fun

If you like medal of honor,or shadow ops,then you might want to give this game a rental and just play run and gun without your lame sqaud,for the rest of you i recommend that you steer clear of this one.

There are much better games

I really couldn't finish the game since it's so under the standards of the best current xbox games available, for instantce: any Ghost Recon game is far more realistic and fun than First to Fight. The graphics are so-so, but if you don't feel they're important to the enjoyment of a game, then you'll be ok. The control and movements of your character are not what one would expect from a war game, specially if they say is "as reallistic as it gets", first because you can't peek from corners, you can't get down all the way to the floor, and if my memory doesn't fail me, you can't jump. So, what kind of realism is this? Anyway, if you don't mind all the cons, you may find the game fun.

Not the best but still worth while

i read the official xbox magazine(oxm) review on this game and it got a 2/10 which doesnt seem fair to me but just because of one reason ...the co-op is worth checking out and so is the multiplayer..although i must say oxm was right when they say the graphics and sounds suck but if you can bypass the graphics and have some one you can invite over to play this game then i belive you should try it ...over all i gave it a 3 because of co-op and multi but dont expect to have any fun playing sinlge player ...the ai is stupid and its just annoying
