SWAT 3 Review After 23 Years

TL:DR Still a fascinating game after all these years and hold up pretty well. Has some technical issues but these can be solved, you can find more details about the fixes in pcgamingwiki. I have a more detailed video review about the game here: https://youtu.be/E2OEx4JBm-Y

Great game, even in 2023.

I couldn't get it to start at first. My solution was replacing the movie/cutscene videos in the Swat 3 directory folder with the updated ones from Swat 3 Last Resort Mod site. You can also download a mod launcher from there for swat 3 to enhance your game if you wished to :) The game does work, but it's so old you might have to do a couple simple things to get it working again. It's not GOG's fault.

Almost there...

It's not as good as SWAT 4, but that is really to be expected, isn't it? It's a good, demanding tactical game, that really gives a sense of accomplishment whenever you finish a mission. That said, it's not perfect. The interface is not as well designed as in SWAT 4 and not really intuitive, so giving commands takes some getting used to. More importantly, the friendly AI leaves a lot to be desired. Stairs seem to confuse your men utterly, making every staircase a potential deathtrap even when it should be a cakewalk, as you have everything planned and prepared. Still, AI faults and some awkwardness aside it's still more than worth a try.

Worked on windows 10

At least for me, no mods, troubleshooting, or dgvodoo where necessary in order for the game to work right out of the box on windows 10. Did get some weid fps drops here and there tho, that was weird. Otherwise, the game has a weird keyboard mapping layout, but it's to be expected for a 20 year old game, and can be changed. I played SWAT 4 first, but even this being an older game i'd recommend it as the experience is somewhat different, but familiar.
