Full Spectrum Warrior tells the Middle East like it is: hot, brutal and dangerous.
User Rating: 7.5 | Full Spectrum Warrior PC
If you have seen movies like The Kingdom (2007), The Delta Force (1986), The Road To Guantanamo (2006) and Osama (2003), then you will probably know what to expect in Full Spectrum Warrior: intense heat, flying bullets, ground-rocking explosions and dozens of insurgents who have sworn to Allah that they are not afraid to die. In Full Spectrum Warrior, you command two squads of four soldiers, Alpha Team and Bravo Team. In each team, there is the Team Leader, Rifleman, Support Gunner and Grenadier. The soldiers of Alpha Team are: Sgt Mendez, Cpl Devereux, Pfc Silverman and Pvt Shehadi. The soldiers of Bravo Team are: Sgt Williams, Pfc Piccoli, Pfc Shimenski and Pfc Ota. Basically, the game is real-time strategy and you move the cursor with the mouse or controller to click where you want the soldiers to move to, except for the fact that you don't have a bird's eye view of the battlefield from above, the camera is on the ground and moves with the squad when the squad moves. Because of the danger of the presence of hell-bent insurgents and their brutality, you have to use cover all the time. You also have to order the one squad to cover the other when you move out of cover. The soldiers can only take about two or three indirect hits before they go down. Once one of your soldiers is down, you have to get to him and provide aid to him immediately. Next the soldier who provided aid will pick up the wounded and sling him over his shoulder. It would then be a good idea to get the wounded soldier to a CASEVAC site as quickly as possible. CASEVAC sites are marked on you map with a + symbol. Once you learn how Full Spectrum Warrior works, you will enjoy it as much as I have. The sequel, Full Spectrum Warrior Ten Hammers, is exactly the same as Full Spectrum Warrior.
