SAS Secure Tomorrow is one of the best budget shooters I've played in a long while.

The game uses F.E.A.R.'s Jupiter EX engine, so for a budget game, it is pretty to look at.

The levels are well designed with lots of destructible objects and side rooms to explore (which may or may not contain more bad guys) and enough scripted events to make you feel like you are part of a larger assault.

You are given two invulnerable computer controlled team mates who are actually able to pull their own weight. You are the junior member of the team, so you can't order these guys around (though I wish you could).

The weapons are all real world ones. You can pick up the weapons of fallen enemies, though you are restricted to four weapons at any one time (luckily, your primary weapon can be modified into a sniper weapon, so in a way you can carry five weapons).

Those well designed levels and realistic weapons (along with smart friendly and enemy A.I.) make combat a blast in this game. Everything I wrote above was just sort of a lead-in to say how much fun the protracted gun battles are in this game. Enemies (and friends) will dodge and use cover and toss grenades at you (well, your friends won't grenade you).

Occasionally your squad will 'stack up' outside a door to be breached. When the door is forced, a soldier will toss in a flash bang grenade and it is up to you to charge in and clear the room. (While the flash bang has stunned the bad guys everything moves in slow motion.)

I also want to give kudos to the game designers for willing to be so over the top. The battles are extremely violent and your soldiers will drop the F-bomb at any chance they have. For once, it was nice to see a game designer say 'Screw the T rating!'

Also, the dialog in the game is surprisingly well written. Though the story is sort of your standard 'Take down these terrorists' FPS fare, the dialog is pretty good.

The biggest hurdle I had with the game was your health. There isn't any. Rather, your character has the Wolverine like ability to auto heal if he stays out of the action for thirty seconds or so. I didn't like this at all. It felt like it made the game less of a challenge (though some firefights are so intense, you will still die regardless).

I mentioned above that you could often explore extra rooms. I wish they would have put health packs in some of those rooms and given me a health bar. That way I wouldn't go into every battle in tip-top shape.

Aside from that complaint, everything else is minor.

Your squad mates could get in your way during firefights.

Throwing grenades through an open door was kind of clunky and difficult.

The ending was sort of a let down. You track down one terrorist and take him down and then a couple of cutscenes play taking care of the rest of the story. Those cutscenes could easily have been turned into another location and a couple more levels.

The game is pretty short. You should be able to finish it within two or three hours. But then it is a budget game. You can now buy it for less than the cost of a movie ticket and man, what a couple of hours you will have.

These guys have put out a game that looks very similar called Armed Forces Corp that I will be picking up based on my experience with this one.

I got this at a store for [...]-- more than worth it!

Excellent gameplay, the graphics are great but that's not its main focus; thus it's best for folks who like fast paced authentic action...

I'd highly recommend it to fans of the FPS and Rainbow 6 genre..

Pros:
- Graphics and play-control aren't bad.
- Flash-bang slow-mo is pretty cool
Cons:
- Missions are short and few in number.
- AI team members actually get in your way more than they help.

All-in-all, not worth the $20 tag for a few hours of gameplay. I think $10 is more reasonable when compared to the much higher production-value titles available (Rainbox Six Vegas, SWAT 4, etc.)

I received error messages reading the disk and trying to install this game on windows xp and windows 7. Might have
been a bad disk too.

Game is from city interactive, like groove games its a very short b version of fear its playable but you can finish this in about 2 hrs so i wouldnt pay more than 4 bucks for this game

All this game is about is shooting down the enemy. There are no obstacles to overcome or puzzles to figure out. Totally boring and to make matters worse, the game locked up about half way through and did so repeatedly. Could not continue but then, it was no great loss except for the money I paid for this lousy game.SAS Secure Tomorrow

There's no tactics or cover system (just lean-left & lean-right); it's basically a generic shooter except you have two teammates to get in the way of your shots. And lots of really clunky dialog to suffer through.

Missteps abound, like needing to step in a certain place to trigger the voice instruction to hit a button to open a door (the button isnt there until the voice tells you to hit it, so if you don't step in the right place, you won't know what to do, because no button will be there to press!)

I got this because I had a great experience with The Saboteur (at a similar sub-$10 price point) and thought maybe I'd get lucky twice. I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN.

Don't waste your time, it is NOT like R6V!

I only paid $8.00 and some change for this game it was worth it. This is about as close as I will get to the swat game. I have vista only on my hp. It you like shooting scum bags in a prison environment this is the game for you!

its a good game but the only bad thing about it is that sometimes when u play multiplayer mode it freezes for about 30 seconds. that is the only bad thing the rest is all god and the resolution is not bad game mode is good and its pretty good.

This is a standard FPS (First Person Shooter) game.

Graphics are fairly clunky and not very detailed compared to Medal of Honor or Call of Duty.

Game play is fairly fluid if somewhat predictable.

One saving feature is the hilarious voice-over/comedy English dialogue.
