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 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.
