There's something compelling about the room-to-room nature of the single-player missions that rarely gets old, even after you've failed a particular mission a dozen times.

They've managed to make non-lethal tactics both important and fun with great sound bytes, exciting tactics, and a good selection of weapons.

The newest iteration of the series is the best one yet, offering an intelligent and flexible interface, a varied and highly replayable campaign, as well as multiplayer modes that include cooperative play.

In a world full of run-and-gun shooters, SWAT 4 stands out as a beacon of tactical brilliance and realism. It’s everything a tactical shooter should be and then some. If you haven’t played it yet, you’re missing out on one of the best squad-based shooters ever made.10/10 — Perfection in every way.

Very cool and unique game with a lot of character and an interesting world but its very buggy and sometimes tedious, 8 with SEF mod

as a "SWAT simulator" good game, but it still has some large -.
Like if suspect runs away, you cant shoot, but you wait until he stops, points gun as some1 and kills them. There is mod for it, but we dont count mods. Sadly obstacles are not wallbangable. Im not going to talk about stupid things like if you stay next to door and someone tries to open it, he cant. Strange lags while team is on stairs, aimbot enemies, and that becomes even **better** when you need to wait when they point gun at someone, or they just do 360 and hit u in the head. The game is good, but for its time.

SWAT 4 is no "System Shock 2" – it’s not going to break any boundaries. However, in a world where professional finish and attention to detail is increasingly rare, its focus on filling a job role rather than filling terrorists with holes is refreshing and admirable, and is definitely worthy of investigation from anyone capable of exercising the restraint required to fully appreciate what this game is about.

Levels are superbly crafted for maximum tension. [July 2005, p.50]

The gameplay is smooth and the environments are cleverly designed, so with the addition of a solid AI, it creates a realistic and a very authentic feel. While this game may not be remembered as a trendsetter, it gives you quite an enjoyable experience.

The game is geared for realism and suspense - so ADD kids won't enjoy it while intelligent gamers looking for a level of realism will be heartedly entertained.

If Irrational is able to speed up the player speed just a tad so that run speed and player movement is faster, if server admins are able to control the abuse of non- lethal equipment, and if server admins are given remote server control, then SWAT 4 would be just as spectacular for Multiplayer.

The best in the series to date, this brain-over-brawn tactical shooter successfully delivers all the action of a first-person shooter at just half the pace.

GAME IS TOP! PLAYING WITH FRIENDS IS VERY INTERESTING. LACK OF MAPS, GAME MODES, SMALL TECHIQUE ISSUES.

Repetitive but great for its time. I wish they made more games like this one now days. What we have the likes of swat 4 are far from its realism.

Скажу честно, прошел до 11 миссии, но это просто капец, интеллект своих партнеров просто ниже плинтуса, если ты пройдешь миссию, то реально ощущения просто отличные, но печаль в том, что не ты прошел миссию, своими усилиями , а потому что ИИ партнеров хорошо сработало, и не тупили, в игре отличная атмосфера, и геймплей рили не плох, но игра морально и технически устарела, и я не про графон, противники то крутые то полные болваны, а самый бесячий момент, в том что с террористами, не может быть никаких ультиматумов, и это не тактический шутер, еще раз повторюсь,тут работает случай, если все хорошо сработает и твои партнеры сделают как ты сказал, то миссии будут проходиться с первого раза, но они идиоты, и тупят, а самый бесячий момент, в том что если ты убьешь террориста, а он просто убегал от тебя, то с тебя снимут очки, за то что ты не дал им шанса сдаться. Вообщем игра плоха во многих аспектах, но есть и отличные моменты, такие атмосфера и погруженость. П.С. но лучший плюс игры в том, лично для меня, что если игра г"вно, то лучше бросить и не парить себе мозги. П.С.С. обзор такой рваный и местами глупый, сделан специально, как и игра, она глупа и дурная.
