  • Summary: Take control of any one of four highly specialized super-commandos in Brute Force, an action-packed sci-fi, squad-based shooter game. Whether the encounter requires stealth, tactics, sniping, or just brute force, the team is ready and able. The game combines the intensity of a shooter game with the cunning strategies of team-based tactical combat. Play solo through six worlds in the extensive single-player campaign, or play co-operatively with up to three friends via split-screen or System Link. A multitude of competitive death-match modes with up to eight players; and downloadable new content, including campaigns, mission, and maps; keep the game fresh for replayability.… Expand

    Probably one of the best looking games on the Xbox, no questions asked.

    One of the best squad-based shooters out there. The developers really knew what they were doing, making the game much easier to get into than most games of this kind. Seamlessness is key, and for the most part Brute Force has it.

    The main issue is that the emphasis on action means that the tactical side often falls by the wayside; ultimately you’ll find yourself sticking to a power character such as Tex or Brutus and just wade in guns blaring to destroy everything.

    The elite unit's top secret missions are as one-dimensional and repetitive as their foes. And the four commandos...utter lines that would have sounded cheesy even on a '70s cop show. [18 July 2003, p.83]

    Brute Force isn't a great game... and it has many thing wrong... but it has many thing right too... not a worth of buying, but maybe a worth of renting... better in multiplayer.… Expand

    The biggest disappointment ever. My friend pre-ordered it. We gave it a chance and found ourselves returning the same day. Gliched in sortware, design, and game play. Unrewarding at all levels.… Expand
