FBI: Hostage Rescue

Rating:
Summary: Very Poor Game
Review: As a fan of anything FBI/CIA/Special Forces, etc., I was very excited for this game. From the first moment I played it, I was VERY disappointed. The game play is slow and sloppy and the levels are basic and boring. I would not recommend this game for anyone, and I still await a good Hostage Rescue type game.

Summary: My first attempt
Review: Ok..I am on a long trip with long boring work hours each day. I picked this up without reading any reviews or ever hearing of it before. I figured "Activision" makes good games, it should be good. Not really. It looks like a game that was made about 2-3 yrs ago and finally made it to the shelf.

Bad: Controls are clunky and only some of them aren't customizable. I still can't figure out how I'll play it on my laptop because it requires a numpad to command hostages. (these are non-customizable keys)

There aren't many weapons to choose from and it took me a while to figure out how to install the silencer to my handgun (right click)

They give you 3 entry points and I could only find one which wears down your time. Just running to the entry point takes 30 sec that are desperately needed.

Good: They attempt to set you up before each scenario well. I was briefed well and ready to go in about 3 minutes including weapons choices.

Although there aren't many weapons to choose, they ARE varied. You have 2 hand guns, 2 submachine guns, 2 shotguns and an M-16 type rifle or sniper rifle. flashbangs or smoke are also available.

The guy who said he's waiting for a good hostage game should stick with Ravenshield or Athena's Sword. I play it regularly and never get tired of it.
