We had been waiting a long time for this. We wanted the multiplayer version so bad. In this version comes some great levels even one where you can play paintball games. The only thing I dont like about this type of game is that it is a little violent for kids but its great for a teen or adult who likes the first person shooters.

Cool game.

An overall badass game. The interface is very well done, contains all the orders needed to run a SWAT team, but it's not too complex so even the casual gamer can figure it out. Great graphics, much better than Rainbow 6. This is a, as I stated before, great game, great sound, great graphics, and lots o' shootouts make it fun as hell. Sorry for the concise review but I can't sum it up any better without using incredible vulgarity, and lots of hand gestures.

great game

I used to hold Rainbow 6 and the likes as among the best game of its genre till Swat 3 Elite Edition came out. At last a game that is realistic, where you actually try to arrest bad guys instead of lodging a bullet or two right between their ears. The controls are easy to use, the sound and picture are of really great quality plus the missions are well done. What else could we ask from a game? Buy it now and you won't regret it. Roger that!

Great missions, wonderful setup, but awful action...

I bought 2 copies of the game... one for me and one for my friend. I shoved the CD into my system and installed, no prob. i got into the game, and i began the first mission... there was a realistic voice briefing me and it all was so amazing...until i got to the mission action. the actual action was slow, pixelated, and non-userfriendly. I can understand ther being a multitude of weapons, but having to memorize 12 buttons for equipment alone? also, i found that the levels became disorienting when dark rooms were present. In reality, if you took the mission setup from SWAT and the action from Rainbow 6, you would have yourself the most kickass game ever seen....

overall, i don't recommend this game to anyone... it needs better controls, smoother graphics, and a more detailed storyline.

and no, it is not my system.... i have a Pentium 3, 128 megs, 8meg vid card, and 800 megahertz packed into my desktop puppy.

WOW! I recently bought this game and enjoy it througly! It has outstanding graphics and great realism. The game has good multiplayer, though not at all as good as Counter-Strike's. The networking code in CS is just hands down unbeatable. The missions in SWAT are soo detailed with customizable weapons, team members, and tools. With good mission brefings the game missions spelled out for you. Buy this game if you enjoy intense action and great team play. Enjoy!

Best FPS ever

This is the most realistic game of it's kind. AI is unbelievable and the levels are very detailed. If you're looking for a game where you just go around mindlessly shooting people, this isn't the game for you. Tactics and strategy play a very big part. You give on-the-fly orders to your teammeates and try to bring everyone (including suspects) back alive. And like the title says BEST FPS EVER, I don't know how anyone can give SWAT 3 a bad rating.

ADDICTED to SWAT3

Exciting game for players who wants to fight and use their brain simultaneously. You can be a killer but you must be a good commander too. I've been playing SWAT3 for 6 months and I still feel emotions starting missions.

Do not worry at first time when you are fresh with all the functions, equipment etc. Try them with no purpose to win the mission.

NOW SWAT3 Elite offers new, longer missions and multiplayer functions. So now you can have fun with Real opponents, but remember: Artificial Intellingence works nice either.

If you are going to buy download the demo first and check whether it is GOOD TO BUY for you !

A good solid FPS

Lots of people want those games where you just shoot everything in sight. Some people like teamwork and strategy. SWAT 3 delivers both in a good form. It comes from a more realistic perspective, no health and ammo powerups around the corner guys! It is fairly flexible in single player mode, with 7 different weapons to choose from. You can also get the low down on all of your other gear too! Single player is more teamwork than shoot 'em up. However in multiplayer you can play deathmatches(of course!). Also you can choose from over 50 weapons in multiplayer. The only things wrong with SWAT are: 1. The storyline in single player isn't detailed enough for me. I might be picky though! :) 2. In multiplayer Co-op, after you finish a mission, you are taken back to the main lobby. If you want to do the next mission with the same guys, you gotta set the game up all over again! 3. No game controller support!! ( I have the Gravis Eliminator, and it comes with software you can use so you can use it)

Overall a very good game, but these small problems made me give it a 4.

Oh by the way, my uncle is in SWAT. And he is on the cover too! (No kidding!)

Hmmm.....

It's a great game...but steep system requirements, if you want the game to look it's best that is. BUT, it is a great FPS/counter-terrorism simulation. You don't just cap everything in sight, you sneak, you look, you THINK! Although some of the mission goals are vague, it's all good. I only recommend this game to fans of Rainbow Six & Rogue Spear. You Unreal Tournament & Quake 3 players out there might find this game slow & tedious...

Best Swat game yet!

This was the best swat game ever made by Sierra, I own the other games and did not like them that much, this one has nice graphics and very realistic. I liked it a lot. The only thing I did not like is that it should have had more missions. Other than that I think this Swat game is really good.
