    Swat 4 is the game that rules all other games like a game that rules all other games should rule all other games. And that's a fact!

    Sure those people saying how the game runs slow are telling the truth, but they just need to buy a better computer. I have a Dell Inspiron 5150, P4 3.04 g, 512 memory, 64mb ge force 4 graphics, and my swat runs perfectly. This game has great graphics, realistic weaponry and tactics, and the multiplayer runs a lot smoother and with virtually no lag over swat 3.

    This game is perfect, absolutely perfect. AI acts pretty realistic, there is not one best way to enter a room. Use explosives, tear gas or sting grenades; pepperspray, beanbags, pepper balls, sting gun... And if you don't have any other options left you can still use an MP5, M4, colt, shotgun... This is SWAT!

    The multiplayer alone is worth the price of the game.

    Time to throw out all my Rainbow 6 games... If you were frustrated by the slow pace, boring missions, and stupid AI of the R6 games, SWAT 4 is the cure.

    A Realistic Squad based FPS That makes it possible to realize what being in Swat is like. Unlike most shooters , you don't shoot everything but try and subdue and take into custody.

    this is a very fun game. The graphics are a little shaky at times, but the game is just so cool. I mean how awesome is it to blow open a door, pop a flashbang and run in screamin commands. Great tactical shooter. I like the way that if u play a level over again the enemies are in different positions so u always have to be on ur toes. great game 10

    Swat 4 İs Best Tactical Shooter Ever. İt İs Better Than Ghost Recon And Rainbox Six . İt's Very Realistic Game. You Can ''Really'' Command Your Team But People Dont Know The Value Of Swat 4.So Swat 5 İs Never Come But We Still Want SWAT 5!

    Simply put, Swat 4 is one of the best tactical shooters i have ever played throughout the entirety of my gaming life.

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

    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.

    This is a very good game, and despite minor bugs a glitches, it is a very fun. This is more of a thinking game than a shooting game, and that is what gives it that successful feeling. I recommend this for thinkers. Those with itchy trigger fingers need not apply.

    I loved this game despite a few glitches getting it up and running which have now been ironed out. The graphics are great and this is underlined by the particularly detailed and realistic environments (no random piles of boxes just to fill in space or block doorways).

The fact that every time you play through bad guys appear in different locations throughout the level, and that you're free to complete the mission using any approach or tactics you want just adds to the realism. I would have liked a save feature so you don't have to replay the whole level (or am I being dense and have simply missed it?). And a greater variety of weapons wouldn't have gone a miss either. Your team mates A.I is reasonable but you never think of them as anything other than expendable. If you're looking for a very challenging game with loads of atmosphere and pressure this is the game for you.… Expand

    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.

    They've managed to make non-lethal tactics both important and fun with great sound bytes, exciting tactics, and a good selection of weapons.

    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.
