Some missions are too hard, the difficulty level is not the very consistent in the late game. This game is nice but the handling, which is crucial for a tactical shooter, is worse than that of its predecessors. Overall SWAT 4 is a very fun game that has a unique approach on making FPS games more intelligent and bringing a more tactical approach to dealing with pesky criminals. Your characters are very frail though, so moving slowly and surprising the enemy is paramount. Online play is an interesting diversion that has it’s moments.

You can also use the taser or pepperspray but this requires some practice. In general, it’s best to throw smokebombs or flashbangs in order to get them to surrender faster. You are expected to give the suspects fair warning by yelling for compliance before you are allowed to take any lethal action. In this game, rather than go in ‘guns ablazing’, it pays to take the more stealthy approach. In this game, you lead a team of five SWAT members and you must undertake some complex missions such as stopping a bank raid or arresting a dangerous suspect.
