    The multiplayer option is perhaps the coolest thing ever for GBA fans with a taste for covert operations. [Mar 2002, p.135]

    I recommend the game to anyone who's not completely put off by the complicated control scheme...This is such a different take on the game that it seems really fresh.

    Missions are well designed, elite squads carry out reasonably realistic actions, and the level of challenge is difficult but not overly daunting.

    The strategy aspects are great, as is the audio. [May 2002, p.89]

    A game that is less puzzle-like than "Commandos" and more action-like than the roots of which this game originated from.
  7. GameSpot

    Manages to convey the same feeling of deadly tension that its PC counterpart was famous for, and the compromises that were made to make it portable are fairly minor.

    Visually, there’s lots to explore on every map, and the characters actually show decent detail. Cool voices and slick weapon effects complete a solid soundtrack.

    This game has to be one of the best anti-terrorist strategy games on the Gameboy Advance system yet.
