  • Summary: Join the fight against global counterterrorism. In Nemesis Strike, you'll guide a team of two agents--Stealth Owl and Raptor--as they cross into enemy territory. Stealth Owl is an infiltration expert with skills in accuracy and skydiving, while Raptor favors powerful weapons and close combat. Among your arsenal are electromagnetic bombs, holographic gadgets, heat-seeking rocket launchers, and sonar vision. Use jeeps, boats, hovercrafts, and aircraft to travel around the fully destructible environments. Expand

  1. A great game with a lot of action, much more than your average budget title, and its price tag is impossible to beat for what's offered. Fans of combat shooters looking for a game that puts their trigger fingers as well as their minds to the test would be hard pressed to find a better deal on the shelf.
  2. Whilst the game won't be winning may prizes for originality or longevity, it is a very solid action title with good gameplay and a level of physics that has remained elusive in other titles.
  3. A genuinely fun game that only misses out by virtue of low production values. A multiplayer would have been fun, but apart from that it's got everything you could ever wish to encounter in a budget shooter.
  4. The digital equivalent of a Steven Seagal movie or a Yorkie bar - a man's videogame if ever we saw one. Unfortunately, it's also a game to make grown men weep bitter tears of frustration.

  1. There are games which trying to be realistic. Special Forces: Nemesis Strike is certainly not one of them. Barrels of gasoline near almost every enemy, helicopters with life bar. In a strange way this game reminded me good, old-school 2d shooters, like Contra. You will have two characters, not at the same time, of course, but they will change each other from stage to stage. First one is a real bad ass spy, kinda Sam Fisher. Game process itself of course not as half realistic as Splinter cell, though I think its only for good. Our second character don't need to hide. Even appearance of his huge testicles make his enemies run in fear. Playing for both of these two appeared to be a lot of fun for me. The conclusion is: If you get tired from modern games, and all the realism developers try to put in them, you can relax for a while, shooting terrorists without making your brain work. There will be no complicated tactical decisions, and I can guarantee: you won't even think about storyline, because in this game, it doesn't matter. Expand

    Not a bad game for $19.99. I wish it had multiplayer, but it is very entertaining and holding my attention. Cut scenes could use a bit more polish, but again for $20 I wasn't worried. Expand
