The next installment of the SWAT series certainly dosen't dissapoint as it takes the series to new levels by making a risky but much needed change from stratagy to tactical shooter. While the first two SWAT games where great, and did indeed contain shooter elements (such as manual aiming for your officers) the developers made a smart decision making the transition. In SWAT 3: CQB, you take on the role of the Element leader of a 5 man squad of highly trained SWAT officers as you try to maintain justice during international peace week. This will require you to take on a series of call ups around LA including home invasions to a dance club and many other creatve scenarios. The gameplay is now your team based tactical shooter style introduced by Rainbow six but it is done much differently here as you must try to arrest as many suspects as possible instead of just blasting a cap in they're ass. Remember this isa Police sim, not Doom so you mustthink like an officer to successfully carry out those warrents. The graphics are pretty good for they're time, so it wouldant be fair to compare them to todays standards. but for 99, there really good. The sound aspect is pretty well done as theres lots of well done voice work though the guns sometimes sound a little strange. The music is your ususal cop show nail biting suspense stuff from Miami Vice or even one of my favourites T.J. Hooker. To sum it up this is a really well done Police sim that is a huge innovation for the series and a great tacticak shooter as well. So if your a fan of the series,a Cop buff, or just like tactical shooters you've got to check this one out.
