A waste of money if you don't have X Box Live
I saw this game and thought it might be fun, as I enjoy games like Ghost Recon; however, I was very disappointed. There is not much you can do with this game unless you have X Box Live. The single player missions are pretty boring and you will get tired of them within the first 15 minutes or so. I don't have X Box Live, so I can not comment on the game play online. <

>Pros: None that I could see. There are better first person shooters out there. <
> <
>Cons: Lack of game play offline. Graphics were not the best and the IA was not very intelligent. <
> <
>Overall: Try Ghost Recon, Rainbow Six, or some of the other Tom Clancy 1st Person shooters. <

Get Halo instead
I bought it because they convieniently put the best looking screen shots on the back of the box and the PC one was so much fun. When i opened it i played the off line version first so that i could get used to the controls, and i was pissed off to find that the graphics are a complete joke. It looks like something off the PS1. The bots walk and run like hunched over retards and use combat skills much to the same level, they are useless. When i tried it on Xbox live it was not much different, with only 2 game scenarios, very few maps, too small maps and complete jackass' booting me from the game because i was using cheap weopan combos.(i had just played so i didn't know what was good, and since when have 2 pistols been better that an M4 assault rifle). They say that the game should only be bought by people who own Xbox live, but even they will be dissapointed. If you want a good, longlasting game that is always fun then get either Rainbow 6 or Halo 2, they both rock online, have good graphics and lots of people are always playing.

Old Classic In Need Of A Serious Upgrade/ Tied to Xbox Live...
This is mainly an online game that was ported to the Xbox from the PC. The game was made before 2003 and it shows. The graphics are great and the AI very realistic. I would give this game 2 stars if it was released in 2005 but for the times it was state of arts. There is no story or plot. You have a choice of different scenic maps to battle on. This describes single player mode since this game will not always be supported online. There are only 2 scenarios: Hostage situation or Bombs. You have a choice to be either a Counter Terrorist Assault team or a stinken terrorist. You start the game with a certain amount of cash and you have only a few seconds to choose your loads using a pin wheel. You then go at it. Kill all your opponents to win the game or accomplish the goal of either foiling the bombing or rescue the hostages. These are the issues I have with the game: <
>*The game has little strategy other <
>than picking a point for ambush. <
>*The AIs are dumb. They get in your <
>line of fire and disobeys orders. <
>They like to throw grenades at the start <
>of a mission for no reason but to hurt you. <
>*Very limit orders list makes for frustration. <
>AI will report enemy spotted but not where. <
>*Weapons are well detailed even to the point <
>of reloading like real weapons but effectiveness <
>is laughable. How many rounds in the head with a <
>M249 does it takes for the opponent to die?? <
>*Grenades are few and ineffective. I can catch <
>the enemy in a tight group and throw a grenade and <
>do they die. NOPE! They only lose about 40% Health points. <
>*Flash bangs blind you even when you have your eyes down <
>or your back towards the blast. <
>*The AI can be 6 in away from each other but will empty their magazines trying to hit each other. <
>What a joke. <
>*The terrorist have an unfair advantage and have 2 ways to win. <
>Just killing all the terrorist isn't enough if they already set <
>the bomb. <
>* Enemy don't make any noises execept while running. <
>* Bomb exploding can hurt or kill you if too close when it goes off. Even when deep inside a building far away from the blast. <
>* The maps are too small. It's easy to guess where the enemy are. <
>* There is a severe slow down in the frame rate when pulling grenades or when too many things are happening on screen. <
> <
>This game is priced cheap but I recommend buying it used. The game can be highly customized with weapon types and cash amounts but as a real game it's lame. It's no fun to get killed early in a game. You then become a spectator watching all the AIs play which could take minutes. There is no 2 player version. The box doesn't tell you this is more an online game than a game that can stand on it's own. There isn't even a high score or stats section other then end game results that's reset after each game series. This can be a great game online but you need XBox Live and you need to find an opponent to play with. For a game it seems very incomplete and mindless.
