User Rating: 9 | Tactical Ops: Assault on Terror PC
Many a nay-sayer has gone on to say about how this game is a terrible rip-off of Counterstrike, and overall, I would have to agree. But when you clone a good game, and you do it well, you wind up with another good game. And that's what you have with Tactical Ops. It was great as a fan mod, and it remains great as a retail product. Its graphics are far superior than Counter-Strike, and an emphasis is placed more on the skill of someone's aim and control of recoil than where the computer decides to throw your bullets. It's all a matter of flavor. If you like Tactical shooters, but get frustrated with Counterstrike's slow pace, blocky, dated graphics and unintuitive interface, Tactical Ops is worth every penny, as you can find it in bargain bins everywhere for $5 or so. In this reviewer's opinion, Counter-Strike is an overhyped dinosaur, and this game unfortunately has withered in its shadow.
