SWAT - Put your hands DOWN!

Pros: Tactical shooter, Continues SWAT from PC to PSP

Cons: Bad production quality. Cheeply done

SWAT- TL, overall, is an average game. It doesn't give you the heart pounding action that I expected. Its rather slow paced - it is a tactical shooter and not an action shooter.

Graphics - average
Sound - average
Music - horrible
Un-lockable Content - dumb to extremely stupid
Production Quality - average to poor
Play - average to good
Re-playability - zero

If you are expecting the action of say Killzone on PSP. This is not the game for you. It's not an action based game and your character is pretty much limited to issuing orders to two other AI team mates. Missions are okay overall with a nice sub-story of Arab terrorists that you have to put down.

My main complaints are: 1) shooting - targeting is hard and usually your AI team mates are dead on. You have no idea whether your shots are sighted in or not. The developers should have taken a page from Killzone for this function. 2) Too many stupid video clips embedded in the game. The game could load a lot faster if it wasn't loaded down with badly made videos., 3) Unlockable content - is near worthless (clips from Blackwater USA) - it would be just plain better WITHOUT them.

In the end, I was disappointed with the value of the game. Its not worth $39.99 - this is at best a $20 ~$30 title. Wait for it used or get it heavily discounted in a month or so.
