Two flawed gems

I became a fan of SWAT 1 & 2 when they first came out and still own the original discs. Note that these are two completely different games. SWAT 1 is an FMV simulator that follows police procedures and protocols. You will spend time at the shooting range both with small arms and sniper rifles. There were some puzzle elements that I didn't like, such as guessing what LASH read more
commands to use. And I think the warehouse level was glitched, seems like you always die at one part no matter what you do. A flawed game but I still had a lot of fun with it.
SWAT 2 is an isometric tactical strategy game highly reminiscent of Syndicate. If you are a fan of Syndicate you should definitely give it a try. The AI is outstanding and each level truly is different every time you play. SWAT 2 is notable for being the only game I'm aware of with a full terrorist campaign. So if you like games where you can be the bad guy, this game is for you. Not many games let you take hostages, barricade yourself in a building, booby-trap the doors, and wait for the cops to bust in. Really a lot of fun once you learn the controls. One piece of advice though, learn the keyboard shortcuts! Issuing commands quickly is critical in this game.
All in all, I enjoyed both games a lot, but know what kind of games you're getting. They may not be for everyone.

Owned this game years ago, couldn't play til now. Very cool game, however major flaw upon GOG release, can't save games (at least on Swat 1) DOS box issue apparently. This game requires saves. I don't recommend download unless its patched in the future. As of Feb 2011 it is broken, go to forums to see if it is patched.

if you like jagged alliance type games, and / or commandos, you should check it out. swat 2 is deep and steep. it might not have the best graphics, but the gameplay-wise it will deliver!!!
