Sleeper hit. Fans of FPS will like this.
User Rating: 8.1 | Close Combat: First to Fight XBOX
Close Combat is yet another FPS game to the Xbox. With a good SP mode and great MP mode. This game will fit in just right. The game play in this is different. The AI can be great at times and dumb at the same time. Making you still play careful because one shot will have you dead. Your team for the most part doesn't have to be baby sit all the time, so you can count on them to back you up. You command your team like FSW and BIA by pointing in pressing/holding the "A" button. The game speed moves slow. Which is good for this game. Cause you will need to be careful with every move. The graphics are nothing big. It gives you the feel of the Middle East. The players all look good too. But the stages can look the same as you progress thought the game. Sound should have been better. When compared to ubisoft games this game just doesn’t add up. Very basic sounds from guns to team mates talking could have been done better. But for MP fans there's lots of replay value in this. With the SP mode only taking 5-8 hours to beat. The MP in this is good. Could have been better with 16 players but 8 is cool. There are 3 modes of play. Two co-op and a fire team arena mode. The co-op lets you play the SP missions with 3 other people. And FTA lets you play 4 v 4 on small maps. For the type of game I think the maps should have been bigger, but with DLC maybe some more will be out soon. Overall this game doesn't set a new high for FPS. But it's something new that any fan would like.
