Summary: Good fun, just don't take it too seriously
Review: I liked this game, while it isn't worth 20, if you can buy it for less you will feel satisfied. I personaly have had no computer problems with this game, no slowdown etc... I think the simulation of shooting the weapons is very cool. Especially the pistols. I'm really impressed with how cool that looked. Some of the long guns have tactical flashlights on them, which is also a cool feature.
One important thing to keep in mind, is that this game is a value title, it's not meant to run with rainbow six, swat 3 or soldier of fortune. It's cheap, and fun, but very simplistic. The cinematics are laughable, but hey...i only paid 10 dollars for the thing, what else can i expect.
The eninmies die in a "ragdoll" fashion. When you shooth them, they fall to the ground and get all limp....it's neat in its own way. They just plop dead to the ground....as if they had total neural shutdown.
The game can give you a really good feel of clearing rooms. The adition of shooting through walls is a nice feature, when in doubt, you can go against all training and good judgement and just pump a wall full of lead, enter the room and see that you cleared it from the hall... thats a wussy way to clear a room, but fun none-the-less.
My advice is buy the game if you can get it for 10 dollars or less, if it doesnt work on your computer, you're only out 1o bucks right? I also say, just use a cheat codes to get through the first 2 levels, it gets better after that. Judging the game from levels 1 and 2, i can see how people get a bad impression. Buy it for cheap, and just have fun with it.

Summary: Don't do it!!!
Review: I've reviewed and own over 30 PC games from the past year, all first person shooters. Let me tell you this has to be the worst of the worst that I've played.

The graphics are pretty cool, but the game play is horrendous. It's extremely difficult, and my computer can barely keep up with the speed that it all moves at.

Good idea, poor execution of that idea. The ONLY redeemable quality of this game is the price. I bought it when it was twice as much, which is why I was more disappointed. If your really bored, go for it, but Ghost Recon and Max Payne are only a few bucks more and are top FPS's. Good luck.

For reference...I ran this game on a P 4 2.8ghz with 512 MB RDRAM and a Geforec 4 Ti 4600 and STILL had video lag.

Did I mention Soldier of Fortune II?? Now THATS a shooter.

Summary: Buyer Beware
Review: My computer exceeds their recommended system (high-end processor, high-end graphics card, up to date drivers) and the game still won't run. Tech support only suggests obvious things I've already tried (update your drivers--like the one's I downloaded yesterday aren't new enough).

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: U Have to get this game!!!!
Review: ok, this game is awesome. If you like James Bond, Outtrigger, SWAT3, or just any shooting game at all then you better get this game. In the game you will go around with different missions and be a bodyguard of people. The only reason that I gave this game 4 stars is cause it's hard but it's VERY VERY fun, so get it...and get it fast

Summary: Great Potential
Review: The high point of the game is its realistic physics and textures. For the game play it runs extremely smooth for me. All I have is a original AMD Thunderbird 1.2 Ghz with 512 DDR and a Radon 9000 Pro and I have absolutely no problems (XP Pro). Those of you who have HT P4's with tricked out nvida(s) and it runs choppy need to figure out what's up. This game has so much potential it not funny. With some tweaking what you have is a realistic version of CS. The sounds are better, the effects are great (e.x. flash bangs and explosions) I cant really ask for any more. As for the difficulty, those gamers who are used to being like Rambo and shoot'n em' up, no wonder why its so hard for you. You need to act like the SS not trigger happy Duke Nukem. Just try it out for yourself and see...

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: laggy but has potential
Review: The ONLY reason that I rate this game average is because it lags wayyyyyy too much. I have a 3dfx video card, voodoo sound card, 152 MB of RAM (much more than it calls for) and gigs of hard drive space. With that, i shut down all un-needed system resources and it STILL lagged very badly. However, the game is realistic, has a wide variety of guns such as the mp5k,mossberg 590DA pump action 12 gauge shotgun, stoner sr-25, RPG, sig-sauer in .357 magnum, FN-FAL, glock .45 caliber, Uzi, mac-10, ak-47,m-4 carbine and MANY others. From what my computer could handle, the game was awsome and makes you feel like the movie "Black Hawk Down" was. So if you have a computer with a fast processer, megs of RAM, and powerful video and sound card ... DO NOT hesitate to buy this game

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Cheap and boring
Review: This game had good potential but it turned out to be a cheap, low budget, and boring game. All you do is run through what is basically a maze and shoot whatever enemies you find before they shoot you.

If you want a good game of a similar genre get Rainbow-Six Raven Shield or wait for SWAT 4 to come out. They will be more expensive but worth it.

Summary: Don't Bother
Review: This game is bogus. The graphics and game play are horrible. I played for 4 hours and could't get past the second level. I am a big fan of rist person shooters, and let me tell you this is the worst one I've played. Don't waste good hard earned money on it!
