After much deliberation and much anticipation.. Swat3 fans finally get to play the newly released Swat 4 game. Unfortunately only to great disapointment. This release is obviously premature and poorly thought out. The game focuses way too much on simulation, tactics and realism and forgets basic simplicity, intuitiveness and most importantly... fun. Game play is horribly slow, graphics do not render properly and often confuse game play (and believe me.. my system, graphics card and conn are among the best. The time it takes to move in the game and engage your targets require so much patience and learning curve that it takes the fun completely out of the game. I'm sorry.. but anyone who has played any of the top notch fps games including AA, UT, BF, COD, CS, MOHAA and even the old Swat 3 game will be incredibly shocked at the poor concept and over all development of this release. Shame on you Vivendo & Sierra for exploiting gaming enthusiasts with your creative marketing to basically steal $49.99 out of each player pockets.
