Product Info Reviews

Description:

SWAT 2 is Sierra's real-time action-strategy game revolving around the conflict between the LAPD's Special Weapons and Tactics squad on one side and terrorist forces on the other. No matter which side you choose to play in the conflict, this book will help you make sense of the game's complexity and deep, rich gameplay. The guide starts with a primer on gameplay basics (including a recommendation for the best way to position your fingers on the keyboard). A step-by-step tutorial walks you through all the phases of a simple mission, while more in-depth walk-throughs follow. All 30 missions are described in detail and, although they tend to unfold differently each time you play them, the book helps you prepare for any eventuality. After the walk-throughs, the book gets even better. A great interview between author Josh Mandel and game designer Susan Frischer is written in an entertaining Mickey Spillane style. The design-team bios are equally entertaining, and the extensive tables of SWAT and terrorist ability ratings round out this excellent book. --Michael Ryan
