I bought this game thinking it should be in the same league as Rainbow Six 3...... not even close. This game is flat out terrible.

A very fun ride!Jul 08, 2004

I think you folks are too picky about the small stuff, this game is great.Yes, the load times are long, and the frame rate suffers once in awhile, but the music is great, the levels, locations and the weapons are well crafted, and the story is fun! I also though that the movielike cutscenes moved the plot along quite well, definitely giving it more of a movielike feel.
Reminds me a bit of Blackhawk Down meets The Peacemaker...
When actually playing the game, I thought it was a real rush!
I personally liked it more than Rainbox Six Three. I think it deserves much better than it's gotten in the reviews so far.
If you are lookng for a more action based FPS game I suggest giving this one a try, it's a while until Halo 2 comes out, this is definitely keeping my attention until then.

What's the big deal !?Jul 06, 2004
By Wade Bullock
This game may not be the best thing that ever happened to xbox, but it's certainly worth owning. I just got it the other day and so far I am quite satisfied with it. It has excellent graphics and sound. It's also a First-Person Shooter. I just can't figure out what these other reviewers hate about it so much. The AI isn't that bad, you're teammates do kill some people. And, for the record, it has GREAT!! multiplayer. I might not would pay $50 for it but if you have $30 or $35 bucks that you want to spend on a fun army game, I would strongly consider this.

You're joking...rightJul 04, 2004

This game was so unbelievably bad, I don't know where to start. The graphics were pretty good but the missions were just horrible. If you're thinking about buying this game, think again. It isn't even worth renting.

From A Dissapointed GamerDec 03, 2009
By A. Jennings "FirefighterJennings"
I purchased this game just a few days ago. The beginning was great and so was the start up. However when you begin actual gameplay your experience goes downhill. The graphics make it look like it took Atari every bit of 3 days to put together, and as far as the AI goes it was shockingly poor. There where several times in this game where the enemy will shoot at you from accross the street despite the fact that your allies are standing right next to him. It seems like the Enimy AI cant even see the Allied AI at points. I found multuple cases where they would stand next to each other and not do anything. As far as the weapons go they are horribly represented. Your character can barely hit the broad side of a barn with his rifle and the sidearm you use (which resembles a cross between a baretta 9mm. and a desert eagle) takes almost a half of your magazine to stop one person! It also seems as though your character is holding the pistol sideways instead of straight!! I usually never leave bad reviews but I was just so shocked at how poorly this game was made that I am taking it back to the store today! If you think this was a good game you might want a take a better look at the cover because chances are you are mistaking this for another game. Over all I believe this is one of the worst games I have ever put in my Xbox. (And I have played my fair share of bad games)
