I wasnt sure when I bought this game that I was going to like it. First off from the demo I learned that you couldnt just rush in and shoot the bad guys. Thats very true. Having played the full retail game, Im starting to like that concept. It adds much more danger and more realism to each mission. The down side..... some of the graphics and AI are not quite up to speed as they should be to accurately decide what action you need to take.... Once in a while its not clear who is hostile and who is friendly because thier animation isnt quite clear at displaying their actions. One example is with one of the missions where A little old lady that is swating her fists at you. I had to really study her to figure out she wasnt just shaking from nerves... Restraining wasnt coming up in the quick menu as an option but more forcive actions were... So I ordered my men to taser the suspect. I was then able to order them to restrain her. This seems a bit excessive.. From the graphics she didnt look that threating. You also have to contain the victoms on the scene. You end up restraining them as well. At least this is all I could figure out so far. If im wrong then someone tell me.. but the mission wont complete until i have restrained everyone. It just seems odd to handcuff a victom of a murdered by handcuffing her adding more insult to her disposition. Besides all of the above the game is very nice. Sounds and graphics are good, and the game play flows nicely. I like the in game menu squad command system. I recommend this game!!
