Bottom line - if you like strategy and cops and robbers, buy it, but if you hate average graphics and limited action, walk away.Download SWAT 4: Gold Edition for free on PC – this page will show you how to download and install the full version of SWAT 4: Gold Edition on PC. The simulation aspect is rather good, but the graphics taken it a down a notch or two. Playing as SWAT or the terrorists is just fun in itself, and there are not too many other games out there that play on the same premise. The main point about the game though, is not really the coding, but rather what is involved. With an average mix of action and strategy, the game is not that great for a real time simulation because it acted rather slowly at times. While not boasting anything very impressive in the way of graphics or sound, the strategy and scenario of the game where the things that seemed to be appealing the most. The hostages would say things on occasion, and if a terrorist saw a cop, or a SWAT team member saw a terrorist, they would yell it out and alert you. The sound effects were average as well, with different voices and other effects for weapons being used. There could be improvement, but that game is not truly graphics oriented. The transparency that is used to indicate a door or window that is behind the building is not that great either, it's noticeable, but still sometimes hard to find. The areas in the missions themselves can block things from view, allowing you to only see terrorists or what not with the radar on the bottom right hand of the screen. Even if you try to increase the rate, the scrolling is really choppy and annoying. Scrolling around the screen is bad though with a slow frame rate, and even with a good video card it is still the same. The graphics are adequate and do the job with no spectacular effects and just animated sprites running around.


The detail in the areas that the missions take place is the only real good point to be mentioned, even though the rest of it is just fine. The graphics of the game are average, with no 3D and the same view throughout the game. While the game may seem like a shooter, it surely is not. The connection better be good because the game will be somewhat choppy as is, and you certainly don't want to end up shooting your own teammates or hostages because of a few seconds of lag. The available options are either being part of SWAT or being a terrorist, playing head to head or cooperatively, and choosing which scenario. If you decide to play multiplayer, then it gets fun. The terrorists on the other hand, can do whatever they want, so it can be a shoot 'em up game if you want it to be that way. As such, you have to slowly wind your way through everywhere, being careful at all times not to shoot at the wrong thing. If SWAT was to just run in and start shooting, then hostages would be killed, so they have to take very strategic steps during each mission to make sure that innocents survive. The gameplay was more of a strategic tone with some action mixed in because of the settings and groups involved. The available actions for SWAT and the terrorist were decent and got the job done, but got confusing at times and having to point and click at everything slowed things down. The multiplayer options are decent, but every time you start a game, the teams and cells have to be reassigned and re-equipped, which got annoying real fast. While it kept things concentrated on strategy, it would have been nice to see a few more weapons. Unfortunately, the game only offers a few weapons and items, those mainly dealing with police and terrorist situations. Teams take a while to form, which hinders the action of the game, but after the scenario begins, it is forgotten about. There were over 100 SWAT officers and 100 terrorists to pick from, each with their own abilities. The features in the game are average, but offer many options to deal with either SWAT or the terrorist. The missions do not follow a particular pattern, but rather are a collection of missions either based on real life events or they are just made up. The storyline is that you are either a LAPD SWAT team member or a terrorist within an organization called the Council of the Five Eyes. The option for being either a SWAT member or a terrorist increases the fun and playability of the game, makes for an interesting multiplayer challenge. The birds-eye view that is throughout the game allows for an effective mix of strategy and action with only a few graphical downfalls.

SWAT 1 was original with its use of true to life scenarios and tactics, and SWAT 2 continues that tradition with a similar style but a different attitude.
