  1. Simply put, if you loved SWAT 3, this upgrade is a blessing. And if you resisted SWAT 3 because of its lack of multiplayer, you're out of excuses now.
  2. With the inclusion of a Software Development Kit in the package, the door is also wide open for user modifications and new missions for the game, which should extend SWAT3's life for the foreseeable future. I couldn't recommend your acquisition of this game any more.
  3. The addition of multiplayer really adds a whole other dimension to the gaming experience.
  4. Somehow, Sierra managed to snatch defeat out of the jaws of victory by committing gaffes and other oversights that just boggle the mind.

    Awesome use of hostage and suspect control. I like being able to bring them in alive...occasionally. The hostages are also more intelligent than on other games like Rainbow Six. Expand

    Hmmm... while this certainly seems 'fresh' and 'original' at first, the originality of this game soon wears off. If you are a fan of strategy fps's, then you should, at the very least, like this game. It's far too difficult for casual gamers though. Read the lowest review on here you can find, and base your purchase of this game on that- this is one of the few games I have bougt which I class as over-rated. Expand

    I liked SWAT 3 because I found it easy to maneuver the men around in missions. Yet the mission design is flawed and comes off boring later on, if the game had sudden events in it that cause you to reconfigure your planning, I might've enjoyed this game more. It's good though nonetheless. Expand
