Summary: Expect a great tactical shooter from Sierra!
Review: If SWAT: UJ is going to be anything like SWAT3, we can expect a great tactical shooter. I have only seen some screenshots, and some video, but it looks like a winner. SWAT3 gave us some great tactical gameplay, that, hopefully ,will only be enhanced, and not changed, in SWAT: UJ. I have been trading off between SWAT3, and Ghost Recon - both are great games (online, and off), but I am waiting for UJ to be released! If you have never tried any tactical shooter titles, but are into quick first person shooters, be advised - these are quite unlike what you might be used to (like Unreal, or Quake). In SWAT3 (as the case will be with SWAT: UJ) you have to equip, and command your operators in a variety of scenarios (like, serve arrest warrant, or VIP escort). These are slower paced games that require some thought, and strategy - not just "running & gunning". This, of course, does not make tactical shooters any less fun! Now, when the heck is SWAT: UJ going to be released?! ;)

Summary: Swat Fans....
Review: If you've played SWAT 3, then you shouldn't even bother reading this, because you already know what an AMAZING game SWAT Urban Justice is going to be.

The SWAT series by Sierra takes first person shooters in a whole different direction. It's not better than other games, such as Max Payne, or Ghost Recon, it's just as good, and its UNIQUE. There aren't any real police type games out there anymore. This game puts you in the middle of crisis situations in which the idea is to NOT kill the the bad guys. (But when you have to, your more than equipped to do so)

The Graphics in SWAT 3 are something to admire, and SWAT 4 is going to be even better, since SWAT 3 came out years ago. The higher end graphics cards are going paint a pretty picture on your screen when it comes to SWAT Urban Justice.

The sound in SWAT 3 was very realistic. I expect the same and more from the newer version.

I consider myself a pretty avid gamer, and I feel I have an objective opinion when rating games. I love the first person shooter series, but I like the realistic versions even more. To give you an idea of how good this is...I've been waiting since I finished SWAT 3 years ago for the next one in the series. It's the ONLY game other than Ghost Recon where I couldn't wait for an expanision, or a new game all together. It really is that darn good.

Enjoy

**UPDATE**

Well..looks like January 2003 before we'll get to check this one out. In the meantime you may wanna try Soldier of Fortune 2. I like it so far.

Summary: This game is going to be worth buying
Review: Looking at what I have seen from the Development team so far this is going to be two thumbs up game!

Unlike most game developers the SwatUJ developers have had huge discussions with the Swat3 Community on everything from bullet dynamics to Game play. A lot of the people in the Swat3 Community come from the Military, Police, Bomb Squads, and Army while others are professional programmers and modders, gun collectors, doctors, and ect. Also, the Swat UJ development team has already created a revolutionary game and some of the best maps I have ever seen!

Once you add all this up you have the ingredients for on heck of a good game!

I know I am going to buy SwatUJ.

Summary: Will I ever get it?
Review: SWAT 3 is an amazing tactical game. As a 2yr member of the Sheriff's office, I loved the strategy, AI, and graphics of this game. When I found that Urban Justice was going to be released, I put my order in. July 2002, it was going to be released in September, I paid in advance. September came and went and I found that it would be January of 2003 before I could receive the game. Six months later, I found that March 2003 would be the release date. Aggravated and ready to ask for a refund, March came and I find that June 2003 is the new release date. Almost a year after I dropped more than fifty bucks on it. SWAT Urban Justice better be the be-all-end-all of video games. In the meantime, I'm cancelling my order and will just get it probably about ten bucks cheaper when I find it in Sam Goody or some other store.

Summary: Be Careful, SWATsters ...
Review: SWAT 3 was one of the best FPS's ever ... but be careful, 'cause this game is being developed by a completely different team. Most of the press on this game says the developer wanted it dumbed down to appeal to the lowest common denominator (the twitch crowd), and also wanted it to be portable to the XBOX. Wait for the reviews of the final product, before you plunk down your hard earned cash to buy it.

Summary: No more
Review: This game has been cancelled by Sierra Studios in early march of 2004. It is no longer listed on the company's website.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This is the best Tactical (SWAT ) game ever.
Review: This is the best ever Tactical (SWAT) game and has a lot of new features and gameplay. Just like SWAT 3 this game is not just a "shoot them up" or "shoot to kill the whole time" game but requires you to use (some) tactics. Yes you can always play a Death Match if that is your cup of tea.

As always the SWAT development team has out done them selves and have made a great game. Now let's see what the modders and mappers can do for us :-)

To bad there isn't a lot of information about it on the net but you can always check ...for some more info when they get it or order the game here at Amazone or visit the main SWAT site at...

Overall great game and next in line for the Tactical Game Of The Year (TGOTY) just like SWAT 3 was :-)

Summary: Here's a game you won't stop playing!!
Review: This new versoin of Swat (Urban Justice) looks like another timeless winner from the mad minds at Sierra, As before they have thought of every aspect of full on gaming, I've seen the Screen Shots and if you ask me the crew at Sierra worked day and night for this to be the best SWAT ever! I've played many Sierra action games, But I always find myself back playing SWAT 3 With this next level coming up I'm not sure I'll ever leave my computer again. If your looking for a true to life game that is action packed from the start then this is the game for you die hard heros who have no time for bad guys heres your chance to know what it's really like to be a Swat Officer!! This game also has a great mulitplayer setup so you can join other officers of the SWAT Team. Trust me you want this GAME!!!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Entertaining, but it's no Rainbow Six
Review: While I enjoyed SWAT 3, it's no Rainbow Six, and after seeing screenshots of SWAT 4 and comparing to screenshots of the next Rainbow Six title, Raven Shield, I don't think that SWAT 4 is going to be able to even touch it.

If you're looking for a tactical first person shooter, check out Raven Shield.
