Childhood game

Simply 5 stars because it is a childhood game which I still play to this date. Hell, I even finished the campaign today for the first time, because the sewage drain mission (the second to last mission in the campaign) was always too hard for my younger me, but all other missions were solved clean and to the best completion. I even prefer this game over SWAT 4 and Ready or Not. Might be because I feel like I studied this game and know every detail about it, so being nostalgic applies in my case. Nevertheless, if you've never played this masterpiece then you've totally missed out. The AI does a brilliant job and never gets me even close to being frustrated. In fact the AI is better than most of the modern games, because you don't need to babysit them or tell them each command in detail, they sometimes do things on their own like reacting to shots fired by you or suspects, detain suspects and civilians, use lean technique when entering rooms and literally scanning each corner (Cpt. Price would be proud). There are some mods for this game and it even contains all other added missions from the GOTY edition and etc. If you want to play on Windows 10/11, you should prepare to download the Last Resort mod. With it you can play on full HD and even have better textures ingame. Might wanna get VgVoodoo aswell, because otherwise you could have some graphical lag but if you google about this problem, you'll find a link to the Steam forums and other sites explaining everything.

My First Bad Review :(

I so badly want to give this 5 stars, I'm currently working on 4 with the 2 big mods and it's absolutely amazing! even for todays standards. Swat 3 on the other hand just simply wont work :( I've tried all the fixes and it's just made me incredibly frustrated. I get about a 4 or 5 cycles of my desktop changing resolutions and thats the end of it. I've downloaded the movies fix, voodoo, and a few other odd things here and there. I'm sure its an awesome game but you're taking a chance on this one. Good Luck!

Now All We Need Is SWAT 4!

SWAT 3 and 4 are two of my favorite games of all time. Unlike every other FPS game SWAT encourages non-lethal violence and is a fun simulation of the work of SWAT teams. Swat 4 is my favorite and I will instantly buy that again as soon as it comes out on Gog.com. If you're a fan of Rainbow Six get this game!

Excellent game, doesn't work

I wasted my youth on this game. But launching it now, it seems to run at around 15FPS and feels unplayable :/

10/10

Yes it works perfectly with Win 10. I saw comments where the record says that it does not, which is wrong.
