This is one of the BEST games ever made. It is in my Top 3 Overall for PC Games, and I've played just about every new First Person Shooter in the past year or so. Here's why:
The Graphics: Amazing...so real, from the sun glaring over the mountain tops, to the grass blowing in the wind on the open fields, just awesome. The night mission goggles are a treat, and the sniper view is top notch. It's as real as it gets.
The Sound: If you crank the sound up and don't feel like your on the battlefield, your missing something. The gun shots, enemies talking in another language, footsteps on wood floors..nature sounds, walking in water..its ALL THERE.
Game Play: AWESOME weapons. Enemies will get you. They rarely stand there to be shot. Ofcourse SOME do, but in general your gonna have to keep quick saving! I personally liked the AI. People will always complain, but if you turn up the difficulty you won't be saying its too easy anymore, trust me.
The Controls: I made a little notecard to put in front of the keyboard while I was learning the keys, and it got very easy very quick. The mouse controls your eye-view, and shooting.
Overall the controls are well done.
The Missions and Story: You'll get into it. The missions are cool, and follow a nice pattern. You'll find yourself playing for hours because each mission is set in a distinct area...mountains, swamps, and so on. Your a special operations marine is essense, sneaking up and taking the bad guys out. Sound fun? It is!
Not to insult anyoe on here, but someone in a spotlight review wrote that the graphics were NO good. Check his system. A Geforce 2 MX on a PIII couldn't run SWAT 1 at full settings with any success. You need framerates to see the great graphics, and those come from a solid processor (Pentium 4 ) and a solid graphics card (geforce 3 and above). THEN you'll see what I really mean. As with MOST of these games, they require alot more than what is reccomended to see the FULL results. If you don't mind not seeing full results, thats cool too, just know why!
Take Care.
