Great shooter game for those with experience

There is nothing wrong with this game that isn't wrong with Area 51 or Maximum Force. It's practically the same amount difficult, cheesy, and fun.  Definitely recommended!

I got this free download when I pre-ordered Far Cry 3. The game worked fine once I got it running, but it took a little bit to get moving. First, you'll see in the description it says 32 bit OS only, that means 32 Bit OS Only. It runs on a 64 bit computer but you can't install it. I had to install it onto my old computer and copy the files over to my newer 64 bit computer. After wards I needed to get the .dll files for the program to let itself run.
Those were all of the negatives, here are the positives.
The game is amazing. While it is relatively old now, it is quite possibly the best shooter I have ever played. Aside from characters having cheesy lines and moving oddly in cut scenes, the game play is solid. Also, the great thing about this game is that it gets insanely difficult, even on the easiest setting. Don't expect a breeze of a game. Expect to spend time actually figuring out enemy weaknesses and learning how to shoot a gun. Although I guarantee you'll get stressed out about certain parts of this game, the 10 hour or so ride is great. Beating it is the biggest payoff I ever felt in completing a game. I'm not going to lie, I feel like a pro for beating this.... on the easy setting...
4 stars only just because of setting up the game. If you have a 32 Bit OS read my review as a 5 star,

I have aggressively avoided FPS games (Halo, GOW, MOH, etc) because of the aiming systems - I suck at it.  However, this game is so much more than your run-of-the-mill shooter.  The story is incredible and the graphics are excellent. As one other reviewer wrote, if you treat it like any other FPS, then it will disappoint.  The game play and storyline combine to create one of the scariest (regular episodes of goose bumps), immersive and overall enjoyable gaming experiences of all time - and that is not an exageration!

SAS Secure Tomorrow is one of the best budget shooters I've played in a long while.

The game uses&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/F-E-A-R/dp/B0000ZUGZ4/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">F.E.A.R.</a>'s Jupiter EX engine, so for a budget game, it is pretty to look at.

The levels are well designed with lots of destructible objects and side rooms to explore (which may or may not contain more bad guys) and enough scripted events to make you feel like you are part of a larger assault.

You are given two invulnerable computer controlled team mates who are actually able to pull their own weight. You are the junior member of the team, so you can't&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/order-these-guys-around/dp/B000VV9T7S/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">order these guys around</a>&nbsp;(though I wish you could).

The weapons are all real world ones. You can pick up the weapons of fallen enemies, though you are restricted to four weapons at any one time (luckily, your primary weapon can be modified into a sniper weapon, so in a way you can carry five weapons).

Those well designed levels and realistic weapons (along with smart friendly and enemy A.I.) make combat a blast in this game. Everything I wrote above was just sort of a lead-in to say how much fun the protracted gun battles are in this game. Enemies (and friends) will dodge and use cover and toss grenades at you (well, your friends won't grenade you).

Occasionally your squad will 'stack up' outside a door to be breached. When the door is forced, a soldier will toss in a flash bang grenade and it is up to you to charge in and clear the room. (While the flash bang has stunned the bad guys everything moves in slow motion.)

I also want to give kudos to the game designers for willing to be so over the top. The battles are extremely violent and your soldiers will drop the F-bomb at any chance they have. For once, it was nice to see a game designer say 'Screw the T rating!'

Also, the dialog in the game is surprisingly well written. Though the story is sort of your standard 'Take down these terrorists' FPS fare, the dialog is pretty good.

The biggest hurdle I had with the game was your health. There isn't any. Rather, your character has the Wolverine like ability to auto heal if he stays out of the action for thirty seconds or so. I didn't like this at all. It felt like it made the game less of a challenge (though some firefights are so intense, you will still die regardless).

I mentioned above that you could often explore extra rooms. I wish they would have put health packs in some of those rooms and given me a health bar. That way I wouldn't go into every battle in tip-top shape.

Aside from that complaint, everything else is minor.

Your squad mates could get in your way during firefights.

Throwing grenades through an open door was kind of clunky and difficult.

The ending was sort of a let down. You track down one terrorist and take him down and then a couple of cutscenes play taking care of the rest of the story. Those cutscenes could easily have been turned into another location and a couple more levels.

The game is pretty short. You should be able to finish it within two or three hours. But then it is a budget game. You can now buy it for less than the cost of a movie ticket and man, what a couple of hours you will have.

These guys have put out a game that looks very similar called&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Armed-Forces-Corp/dp/B000CNF8SO/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Armed Forces Corp</a>&nbsp;that I will be picking up based on my experience with this one.

This game is GREAT. It is your typical 1st person shooter, but much better. You have 57 weapons to choose from and each one is accurately replicated. Pistols, shotguns, assault rifles, machine guns, sub machine guns, the whole works. If the variety of weaponry isn't enough to make you go crazy, then the variety of mission types might. The game is not a "shoot everything that moves" game in all missions. You also can have a hostage rescue mission in the campaign. If you are detected then the hostage is executed by the neo-fascists that you are fighting. As an added bonus, in the custom mission mode you can play "lone wolf" missions where you are alone to get to an extraction point.

There are, however a few things that I dislike. The graphics, however good, are not top notch because the game must be run on lower screen resolutions. Whenever you switch over to a 1280x760 or higher resolution the game lags senselessly (this is on a laptop... on gaming computers you probably won't have this). The game can also get very gory if you are playing with bodies and gore on, but these both can be turned off. On this topic, the game won't be dropping the F-bomb every few seconds like some of the newer Rainbow Six games will.

To wrap everything up, this game is amazing. It is probably my favorite game that I've ever owned. For $10 it's a steal. I'd pay $40 for this game, despite newer versions being out.

New to this FPS but a legend Halo player that loves the fast bouncing off of walls shooter. This game is for the fast paced non strategic shooters. For the price point of $10, its an automatic buy. They also do double XP so you can level up quick. This game takes the cake compared to other games I bought recently...

After watching the movie "Black Hawk Down" I had an urge to play a more realistic first-person shooter game than Half-life 2 or Unreal Tournament, and this game certainly delivers.  The graphics is very good (I definitely feel like I was fighting in Mexico City, albeit in a city devoid of any civilians or bystanders), and the ballistic feels realistic.  You definitely have to be very careful and plan your every move if you don't want to die every other minute, and this makes this game very engaging.  The one potential downside of this game is that you can only save at preset points, and coupled with the challenging nature of game, makes it necessary to play certain stages multiple times in other to finish.  Otherwise this is a very fine game, and I recommend that you give it a try!

spec ops: the line isn't your average shooter.  and in this case, it's a good this.  granted, it's still a fairly linear affair - there are plenty of corridors, hallways, etc - but yager did something admirable by attempting, and largely succeeding, at making a story-driven game where choice and consequence are ever-present and one's man decent into madness is effective and compelling.  and yes, it's based on joseph conrad's "the heart of darkness" (as is coppola's "apocalypse now").

spec ops: the line is a 3rd-person, cover-based shooter that takes place in the weeks and months after a massive sandstorm has.  your squad is tasked with tracking down LT konrad (a nod to joseph conrad, of course), head of the 33rd infantry battalion. the battles take place all over dubai - in sandsweept highways, spacious skyscrapers, aquatic centers, and vacant building.  the gameplay, in my opinion, is very similar to the uncharted series.  even the guns sound relatively the same.  i did experience some issues with trying to take cover.  if you're not lined up perfectly, you go to cover or vault when you don't want to or vice-versa.  this results in a lot of frustrating and unnecessary deaths.  but for the most part the cover system works well, slow-motion head shots are satisfying, and the guns adequate if not spectacular.

the art design is gorgeous.  all of dubai in the distance is fuzzy and sort of hazy, adding to the sense of paranoia and dis-ease.  the color palette reminded me a lot of "enslaved: odyssey into the west." it really is gorgeous with soft blue, green and pink hues. the soundtrack is excellent for this kind of shooter. it's a toned down heavy metal, but it's never obnoxious and never feels like it interferes.

the voice acting is solid, though any game voiced by nolan north immediately makes me think i'm playing nathan drake.  but even so, he's is usual great self, as are christopher reid (of kid n' play fame) and omid abtahi as lugo and adams, respectively.

the only drawback, in my opinion, to this game is the six hour campaign.  it's great while it lasts, but it's over all too soon.  i've not played the multiplayer, so i can't comment on it. i wish developers would spend more time making longer campaigns and less time on multiplayer (can any really hope to out do CoD of battlefield at this point?).

if you can find spec ops: the line for under $20, i highly recommend you buy it.  it's a satisfying game and a strangely compelling journey that when it's over will have you asking more questions and wanting to play it again.

At first this game may only appeal to those who have watched the revered Robotech anime series, but anyone in need of a solid action shooter should consider buying this game.
When first played, it is hard to get a hold of controls, and the tutorial mode doesn't quite provide enough training, but it all comes in do time.  Being a game ported from the PS2 version, controls are expecting to be a bit faulty, but once you get used to them, there is little to complain about.  As the game progresses so do your skills, and the more you play, the more intense the action becomes.
Overall the game is well done, but there are a few glitches here and there, such as your veritech dissapearing, or the whole game may freeze (very rarly though).  It seems like the more i played the game that less glitches became apparant.  The only other draw back is the lack of weapons, but it merely stays true to the anime series.
Keep in mind that the level become very challenging, but there is always a way around every situation, and everyone developed there own strategies to solve them which is a major appeal of the game.
If anime is your thing, this game is a must buy.

The game is fun and has a lot of different angles to it.  A great first person shooter game.

This is a fun first person shooter game that is easy to play with simple controls similar to the CALL OF DUTY games, Lots of exciting missions, some very cool vehicle combat and an amazing arsenal of weapons to use . The games storyline was written by JOHN MILIUS who also wrote screenplays for many great movies including RED DAWN,CONAN THE BARBARIAN( he also directed both these films),APOCALYPSE NOW,THE HUNT FOR RED OCTOBER, and CLEAR AND PRESENT DANGER to name a few so the story is pretty awesome and very realistic . If you enjoy first person shooters like call of duty or are a fan of war games I  recommend picking this game up. How could you complain when there are used copies available to purchase on AMAZON  for less than one dollar? GREAT DEAL/GREAT GAME.

Awsome game specially if you are into squat-based tactical shooter games, or even if you dont, I can assure you will have quite a good time playing through the game`s main campaign. I haven't played online yet cause I care more about the main campaign, however after I finish it I will connect to xbox live. I have been able to peek at the multiplayer maps and it seemengly runs smoother than the main campaign, like a better frame rate kind of thing. The  graphics of this game are pretty good with very life like enviroments and an exellent recreation of Mexico City. It takes about an hour to get used to the HUD to issue orders to your ghost squat and other gadgets the game offers, but once You feel comfortable with the control scheme you will have such an enjoyable experience. The computer controlled AI, though has to be tewaked quite a bit for near comming games of the series specially for the ghost squat. This game really turned out to be a great game and it shouldnt eventually disappoint anyone. Despite the graphics are trully next gen and realistic when compared to the latest graphical  achievements such as CO4 and uncharted, you would pretty much say that they still can be improved. Yet this a very good looking and playable game. Now I am looking forward to play GRAW2 and RS Vegas which look and play awsome too. By the way amazon offers a very good retail price for this game at $29 us, it is a very good deal. Furthermore, the game came in a very good condition and totally sealed and new. Just keep in mind that it is labeled as greatest hits which has a gray frame and not the whole picture.

Overall it's a decent shooter game. I'm not dissapointed in buying it. I have played better tho. If you're looking more into going onlne, stick with Call of Duty 4. If you are looking to give something new a try this game is a good choice.

If you like to shoot and shoot a lot, this is your baby.  You pretty much start shooting 10 seconds into the game and shoot until the very end.  Ammo is strewn about and plentiful and you can blow a lot of stuff up.  So that's all fun.  Still, though, believe it or not, the shooting gets to be a bit much.  After a bit the game takes on a Space Invaders type of monotony where you're just shooting foes and then there's more foes to shoot and so forth.  And the massive underground lair at the end does start to feel a bit like a James Bond supervillan layer, which is a bit odd in a game that tries in a lot of ways to be realistic.  All that said, the most upsetting part of the game is that it's over rather quickly.  On a regular level you're done with this in about 4 hours, maybe 5 your first time through.  You can add an hour or two to that unless you realize that you need to tone down the aggressiveness due to the very few savepoints.  At $10 or $20 this is a good bet as it is fun.  I don't know if I'd pay over $20 for it, though.

Great game with great graphics. It has amazing online game modes and is a great fps game to play with friends.

ok first let me start off by saying that I am actually a soldier so I had mixed feelings going into this game. If you have played the one for PC you would know why.
I will say this though, i am pleasantly suprised. The game has great graphics and it is not like a lot of those other shooters out there where they just run and gun. You have a squad you have teammates-use them and don't let them get hurt. I found myself havig a couple of hours turn into a day of training and wargames. which are not easy. You don't just shoot. You breathe you aim all the things that regular shooters don't usually take into consideration.
there are a couple of quirks but then again I know why they were put in there. I.E. Look at your soldiers uniforms. Thats all i will say.
controls are good not perfect but they are damn good. once in a while you may miss what you thought was dead on but thats because you( the soldier) breathed when you fired or you moved. such a little thing will throw your aim off by a lot.
If you looking for a run and gun shooter... this aint it. THis one takes patience which a lot of people do not have.
