    If you are a fan of Full Spectrum Warrior but always wanted to have a little more controll of your soldiers, this is for you. Add a little Rainbow Six and you got it. The controls take some getting used to but, its all good. Its in the multiplayer where this game shines though. One of the best online co-op games out there. Graphics are outstanding, sound is average, and AI will surprise If you are a fan of Full Spectrum Warrior but always wanted to have a little more controll of your soldiers, this is for you.

    Again, I continue to be bemused by reviewers lauding things I can't stand (like Halo2 and Brothers in Arms) and assassinating titles I enjoy very much, like Pariah and this! Yeah, it's not breaking boundaries, yeah it can be a little glitchy sometimes. But I'd put it one step ahead of one of my favourite onliners of all time, Rainbow 6, which continues to be a big online Again, I continue to be bemused by reviewers lauding things I can't stand (like Halo2 and Brothers in Arms) and assassinating titles I enjoy very much, like Pariah and this! Yeah, it's not breaking boundaries, yeah it can be a little glitchy sometimes. But I'd put it one step ahead of one of my favourite onliners of all time, Rainbow 6, which continues to be a big online puller. In the end you need to try it for yourself. If you love military themes, hate shooting green globs and squashy aliens that shriek and run away and enjoy a good old team deathmatch that plays better thoughtfully than thoughtlessly (Halo2).… Expand

    A perfect blend of Rainbow Six and Full Spectrum Warrior. The Ready, Team, Fire, Assist formation really works in this stunning game. The gameplay is top notch. Enemies run for cover and fall from balconies and rooftops when they are shot. They even fire their weapons as they are falling. When they kill you the last thing you see is the enemy shaking their weapon in the air. There are A perfect blend of Rainbow Six and Full Spectrum Warrior.

They even fire their weapons as they are falling. When they kill you the last thing you see is the enemy shaking their weapon in the air. There are ragdoll effects in the game and civillians running around so you have to be careful who you shoot. You feel like you are a Marine taking the streets of Beirut block by block. This game is a must have if you like FPS. Total sleeper hit.… Expand

    A thoroughly enjoyable and rewarding game, providing a military alternative to Rainbow Six and immersing the player in an urban combat environment like few games can.

    Gets some things right, but if the poor AI and numerous glitches were ironed out then it could have been one of the finest tours of duty around. As it stands, it's an excellent multiplayer game that just can't compete with some of its rivals.

    Despite the intervention of the US Marines, there are some glaring flaws, which have somehow been overlooked.
