As I write this review, I have not yet finished the game, but after smashing my controller in frustration, I knew it was time to write a review. Whenever I get so enmeshed in a game that I lose my temper and have to replay levels, I know I'm playing a worthwhile game. Close Combat is a challenging and well-done game. The enemies are smart and numerous. It takes real fore-thought to utilize your team effectively. Some of the environments really test your gaming skills (e.g. how do you turn a corner & take out a machine gun nest at the end of a narrow hallway?). Graphics are great and so are the controls. Definitely worth renting and/or buying for fans of FPS and war-oriented games.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best first person shooter game on the market, June 28, 2005

This game is by far the best military game on the market and second is Battlefield. The enemy hides and peaks out and shoots unlike other military games when the enemy just runs at you, the AI is awesome. Controls are easy but it is hard to call for airstrikes and snipers because you have to have the crosshairs on the tank or person. And it is hard to call for suppressive fire and cover because the same reason with airstrikes and snipers. But it would be hard to call for that any other way. I agree with the man that previouly served in the military about this game and want to thank him for fighting for our Freedom. Awesome game, highly recommend buying this game.

This review is from: Close Combat: First to Fight (Video Game)

Having spent a few years in the Corps and been involved in conflicts such as this ( served during the first Gulf War ), I advise anyone who like FPSG to get this one. I was hooked for sometimes up to 4 hours playing it.It brought back good and bad memories about what I had been through. Any of the previous geekoids who hated this game have spent too much time thinking other games resemble real-life. I say get out and experience life before passing judgement. This game was awesome in it's intensity, graphics and gameplay. Well worth the money. I am hoping for a sequel because I will be the first one in line.
