    It was old but the best police game I've ever played. The atmosphere is perfect, the content is perfect.

    Super hard game that's all and your problem because the rest is well crafted, it has nice graphics even for 2005 and the intelligence of the NPC's is acceptable

    Игра замечательная, не хватает только кооперативных миссий, а не этого калового дефматча

    I just loved this game when it came out. I spent hours and hours of fun. A style of police game with strategy and a lot of tension. Nostalgia is a word that comes to my mind when I remember SWAT 4.

    SWAT games were the best tactical shooting games back then and 4 was the best title. A game that I would enjoy to play even now.

    Great game. Unfortunately there's no official Multiplayer but LAN is still playable. I highly recommend it to everyone.

Вообщем игра плоха во многих аспектах, но есть и отличные моменты, такие атмосфера и погруженость.
    П.С. но лучший плюс игры в том, лично для меня, что если игра г"вно, то лучше бросить и не парить себе мозги.
    П.С.С. обзор такой рваный и местами глупый, сделан специально, как и игра, она глупа и дурная.

    Swat 4 é aquele tipo de jogo que me lembro jogando numa manhã calma de domingo há 14 anos atrás, em 2005, com apenas com apenas 5 anos de idade (sim, meus pais não se importavam em eu jogar jogos de tiro com essa idade, o mimimi era bem menor na época). Na época, eu não conseguia passar da terceira fase, era muito difícil pra mim. Ainda assim, eu adorava esse jogo, e minha opinião, 14 anos depois, permanece inalterada. É um ótimo game, jogabilidade que te da liberdade através do uso de comandos, para coordenar a sua equipe de policiais pelas ambientes urbanos que esbaldam criminalidade. Se tivesse uma história que detalhasse a vida de cada policial e o que aconteceu para chegarem ali, esse game simplesmente beiraria a perfeição.

    It's one of the great LAN games you can play again and again. You don't have to master it to have fun. It's on GOG now, DRM free, with its expansion. Online doesn't work anymore due to Gamespy. Requires tweaking to work widescreen.

    SWAT 4 is undeniably realistic, intriguingly unpredictable, painfully unforgiving and above all, weirdly addictive. Completing a mission is tough, but keeping yourself from coming back for more is even harder.

    Graphics are old and bad. But still this game is amazing. Enemy characters are great. What I really love about this is paintball gun. I hate guns. I hate scope and flash. Very difficult to see. I love paintball gun. It's too bad I can't find any walkthrough with paintball gun. I want to see gameplays with paintball gun.

    Bad thing about this game. Just like Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six 3:

    Bad thing about this game. Just like Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six 3: Raven Shield, dies too easily, takes too much time to do the mission. Things takes a lot of time. It's very slow. When get shot, movement get very slow.

    Almost every single aspect of the game dilapidates once you touched it. The shooting is lame, 5 years old girl would be a batter shooter, than highly skilled SWAT officer.

I mean, shooting during movement is not THAT hard for god's sake and you will never hit a single target in this game unless you stand still for at least 3 seconds, I guarantee it. The weapons list is short and most of the guns are useless. The enemies are too damn strong, and it's not about my HP or nice AI, it's about their supernatural abilities. (Well, sometimes they act like morons too). Damn modern gangs, recturing world's shooting champions and sh*t. I'd take them in my team instead of those 4 morons. Talking about AI, this is the dumbest AI I ever seen. The last time I played SWAT, I just sent them into a room by themselves to laugh a little. All of them died. And you know why? They were just looking at the enemy for 5 seconds, nobody even tried to make a single shot and he just killed them one by one. This is really damn important for a game in which you have to interact with 4 AI teammates to win, don't you think?

    And yet, somehow, the game is good, overrated as hell, but good. It makes you feel that you are SWAT officer, it makes feel responsible for those idiots you call teammates. And it makes you incredibly satisfied about 100/100 score.

Swat 4 uses very realistic sound effects and animations as well as incorporation of real life SWAT techniques in which are used to give you the full SWAT simulation, Everything about this game is spot on and as real as it comes on the PC. Overall SWAT gives the user a unique approach towards FPS shooters and has taken risk on doing something different and succeeded. I am guessing there is not going to be a sequel to SWAT 4 but if there is i will be highly anticipating it and adding it to my list of games to play. Well done Sierra Entertainment for producing a very entertaining and addictive SWAT team FPS. Expand

    A tactical game about Swat. Even I did not expect to be so beautiful game. Tactical elements made ​​the whole game. Not just "Pom Pom" and "Congratulations, you have finished the game !!."

    There's something compelling about the room-to-room nature of the single-player missions that rarely gets old, even after you've failed a particular mission a dozen times.
  2. 90
    They've managed to make non-lethal tactics both important and fun with great sound bytes, exciting tactics, and a good selection of weapons.
  3. The newest iteration of the series is the best one yet, offering an intelligent and flexible interface, a varied and highly replayable campaign, as well as multiplayer modes that include cooperative play.
