Ok first of all the graphics suck, 2nd of all why is it called hostage rescue if you cant even rescue a hostage?
Oh and I forgot to mention how realistic this game is, you can carry a sniper and a machine gun together. Now isnt that realistic. The terrorists are realy dumb, not only they just stand there but you always know where they are because you hear them talking to themselfs. Now the hostages are even more dumb, sometimes the dont even move, sometimes they get stuck in mid air, and most of the times they dont even follow you. Sometimes a hostage decides to go hes own way so he climbs up to the roof, and then doesnt even come down! And belive it or not you got a timelimit, yes a 5 min timelimit to comvince the dumb hostages to follow you. To get to my point this game is terrible and avoid it at all cost, you wont even pass the first level. I wonder if the company actully tested the game before relising it.

Ok..I am on a long trip with long boring work hours each day. I picked this up without reading any reviews or ever hearing of it before. I figured "Activision" makes good games, it should be good. Not really. It looks like a game that was made about 2-3 yrs ago and finally made it to the shelf.

Bad: Controls are clunky and only some of them aren't customizable. I still can't figure out how I'll play it on my laptop because it requires a numpad to command hostages. (these are non-customizable keys)

There aren't many weapons to choose from and it took me a while to figure out how to install the silencer to my handgun (right click)

They give you 3 entry points and I could only find one which wears down your time. Just running to the entry point takes 30 sec that are desperately needed.

Good: They attempt to set you up before each scenario well. I was briefed well and ready to go in about 3 minutes including weapons choices.

Although there aren't many weapons to choose, they ARE varied. You have 2 hand guns, 2 submachine guns, 2 shotguns and an M-16 type rifle or sniper rifle. flashbangs or smoke are also available.

The guy who said he's waiting for a good hostage game should stick with Ravenshield or Athena's Sword. I play it regularly and never get tired of it.

As a fan of anything FBI/CIA/Special Forces, etc., I was very excited for this game. From the first moment I played it, I was VERY disappointed. The game play is slow and sloppy and the levels are basic and boring. I would not recommend this game for anyone, and I still await a good Hostage Rescue type game.
