DESCRIPTION

SWAT 4 is a 3D action game that puts players in command of a squad of special weapons and tactics police, and challenges them to solve tense, dangerous situations with discretion and responsibility befitting an elite officer of the law. The game's selection of authentically designed weapons includes several non-lethal choices, such as tear gas and flashbang grenades; as in real life, the ultimate goal of the police team is not to maim or kill the suspects, but to apprehend them before they can cause any harm to innocent bystanders (or themselves). Each time a level is played, the computer places criminal suspects and potential civilian hostages randomly around the map, so missions pose new dangers and solutions each time they are attempted. VU Games' Sierra-brand SWAT series began on home computers, but moved to consoles with the 2003 release of SWAT: Global Strike Team. The series returns to PC with SWAT 4, which was developed by Irrational Games, a studio known for its refined craftsmanship of earlier sequels such as Tribes: Vengeance and System Shock 2. ~ T.J.

“It's *really* good, I seriously recommend it. It's really really in-depth. Even just playing on easy, you're going to be banging out a fun challenge for a long time -- But when you get really good, take on hard or extreme for the ultimate tactical simulation. The AI is *really* good! (Not perfect, but hey no AI is)”

“SWAT 4 is an awesome FPS shooter game, though in multiplayer, it ain't as cool, because it becomes less tactical.”
