Opening Snide Remarks: A ton of people I know love the PC version, and since 
I'm the only one of them with a GBC, I was nominated to buy it. Besides 
that, I heard it was awesome, so I picked it up. Give us what you got, Red 
Storm.

****************************************************************************

Gameplay Descripion: This is a top-down RPG thing like GTA or pokemon. 
There's also a bit of First-Person Shooter stuff, but its mostly top-down. 
The purpose of each level is to complete mission objectives(saving hostages, 
defusing bombs, etc.). That's really about it. The gameplay is great and 
lots of fun.

Liked: everything
Hated: nothing

Graphics Description: Although the characters are very small, the animation 
is good and realistic. The bad guys aren't as "smart" as would be 
appreciated, but it isn't enough to change my opinion of the game. Textures 
are well done and look quite realistic. The night vision view is extremely 
well made.

Sound/Music Description: Great audio. The sound effects seem superbly 
natural. The music is perfect. Very....um...spy-ish.

Liked: everything
Hated: nothing

Play Control/Game Design: Play control is excellent. Buttons respond 
perfectly and you can walk diagonally rather than just side-side, up-down. 
The Game involves a lot of pre-game adjusting. This makes the game much more 
strategy based, which is great. It can become a bit tedious, but not enough 
to care. There are a CRAPLOAD of options on this game. Clothes, weapons, 
characters, and teams are all fully selectable. A lot of stategy goes into 
the "Plan" option, in which you mark out a route on a map. All of this can 
be a bit time-consuming, so an AC adapter would be a good idea. Also, the 
characters move a bit too slow. About the same as pokemon. Again, this 
really isn't much of a problem and would be expected from a game about a 
SWAT team.

Liked: everything(almost)
Hated: slightly tedious strategy element, slow character

Final Words: Not as good as Rainbow 7, but way better than Rainbow 4. 
Seriously, this game is awesome. It has a few little problems, but nothing 
to fuss about. I loved it and I think you will too.
