You see, one of the nicer touches is that the difficulty of each level isn't actually based upon the opposition, but the difficulty of what you've got to achieve. Or at least not an option if you want to complete a level. Kill Them All And Let God Sort Them Out isn't an option. You're police officers, and you're not allowed to walk in Judge Dredd-style and put a bullet in anyone who even thinks of breaking a law. What most distinguishes SWAT from its peer group is that it's not simulating a military organisation. You're here to sort things out, ordering your squad about through a fluid yet compressive in-game system (no Rainbow Six-style map screens replete with waypoints here). Usual ingredients are an enclosed area, bad guys with guns and some hostages in peril. In true tactical-shooter style, you're positioned in charge of a five-man SWAT unit and given a suitable flashpoint situation to deal with. While individual mechanics have altered (though there's the option to swap to a control system more akin it its veteran cop forefather for purists and/or retrophiles) and everything has been spruced up to 2005 standards, it's still recognisably the same game. Perhaps uniquely in the recent iteration of the second-string game franchises, it doesn't fiddle with the formula to any huge extent in an attempt to reach a different (i.e. It sticks to the rulebook of engagement clinically, which leads it to being one of the more unique tactical-action games available to the modern MP5-toting gamer. It's very much good cop, and its failings in this area are more my failings in being bad cop.
I know I can pull out my handy aerosol of MACE to forcibly hitch him to my train of thinking, but why hurt Mother Nature by releasing more nasty chemicals into her lungs when she gave me five fingers thick enough for the job?Īlas, no, face-punching in SWAT 4. I need to handcuff the wretch to secure him for extraction, and unless he gets on his knees, I can't do that.

I'm not asking for the full strike team experience of holding a man's face against an electric oven or urinating over suspects in the street or anything.

Is it too much to ask?Ĭlearly watching the first two series of top ultra-corrupt cop show The Shield in a couple of weeks have left dirty marks on my consciousness, but I haven't quite gone native into the world of missing Mitchell brother Vic Mackey yet.
I just want to slam my fist into this whining hostage's face.
