Swat 4 demo10/2/2023 ![]() I then went on to fail the same damn mission in the retail game another few times before passing. I failed the mission in the single player demo a good dozen times before getting the hang of the game and succeeding. ![]() Quote:Originally posted by Neal:It's fun but I keep getting killed on the nightclub level. Aformentioned quirkiness when trying to control sqaudmates seperately.Overall, I'd score this game 8.5/10 and recommend it fully. ![]() The non-squad character models are a little blocky and generic. The AI is a little quirkier when commanding the red team and blue team seperately but once you get the hang of these quirks, it works pretty well.CO-OP: both Internet and LAN.The bad? Not much. They've excecuted my commands perfectly when I've commanded them as a group. I'm very impressed by a game that lets you do that and win.even though I've failed my first (or second or third or fourth) time through some of the missions and haven't always managed to get out of a mission with all my officers healthy.Other good stuff:The animation of the squad mates is excellent.The teamate AI is top notch. It's taken alot of 'less lethal shotgun' blasts, tons of shouting, CS gas, flashbangs, a taser, and - I'd like to think - good tactics and strategy. And the ramdomized placement of bad guys and civilians makes for great replayability (and means that when you fail a level, trying again is a totally new experience) And I've now made it through the first 9 levels without killing anyone, suspect or civilian. I grabbed it because I've been thoroughly impressed by Irrational Games' consistently high quality output (System Shock 2, Freedom Force and sequel, Tribes: Vengeance and now Swat 4) and I liked the single player demo.The level design is great - gritty realistic settings with the perfect amount of appropriate minutae - and really makes Swat 4 one of the most immersive games I've played. It's not my typical genre, in fact it's my first squad-based tactical shooter.
