SWAT 3: Close Quarters Battle boasts gorgeous 3-D graphics (a 3-D accelerator card is supported but not required), with lifelike characters and amazingly detailed real-world locations, such as the Los Angeles Convention Center and the LAX airport control tower.
Players assume command of a five-man L.A.P.D. SWAT team across 16 diverse missions. As Element Leader, you control nearly all aspects of the mission, which can include rescuing hostages to ambushing criminal suspects. Most mission decisions rely on split-second thinking. Should you order the suspect to drop his weapon or are you in imminent danger from the other suspect hiding in the room? SWAT 3's high-pressure environment creates an engaging and satisfying experience.
If you're looking for the chance to control an elite police force (thankfully, the computer-controlled artificial intelligence of both team members and suspects is topnotch), check out Sierra Studios' SWAT 3: Close Quarters Battle. --Doug Radcliffe

SWAT 3: CLOSE TO THE BEST GAME EVER,
By Richard Bottner (Fair lawn, NJ United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Swat 3: Close Quarters Battle (CD-ROM)
I was skeptical at first. I wasn't sure whether or not to buy this. Some people said it was the best and others said it was the worst. I went in order of my instinct for a good shooting/strategy game. First I went for Delta force 2. It was decent. The graphics were ok and the missions left something to be desired. Then I went for the new rogue spear. That was a great game. It had strategy, great graphics, and good sound. But I still had this urge to try SWAT 3. So I got my guts and tried it. Let me tell you... SWAT 3 is by far the best game I have ever played. With over 15 missions to choose from. The graphics are astonishing. They are extremely crisp and clear. (I do recommend you have 3d card, though, or else it will probably lag.)The sounds are amazing too. They're very realistic. In this game you basically take control of 4 other swat officers. You are the swat leader. You command them to do everything. You can tell them to do anything, from arrest someone to knock down a door. Each mission you get is very unique in it's own way. You go from a private residential house to a church to a convention center to an airport tower to a dance club and that's less than half of them. The ONLY downside to this game is that you can't see your gun.... but who cares, everything else in the game makes up for that! This game is the best game I have ever played and anyone who likes a good RPG/strategy/shooting/law enforcement game is urged to buy this one of a kind game.

SWAT 3: The closest simulation to actually being there.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Swat 3: Close Quarters Battle (CD-ROM)
Swat 3 is an exception simulation. Being a law enforcement officer I can attest that SWAT 3 is exceptionally detailed and authentic, right down to the unknown woman jumping out of the bathroom in nothing more than a towel, just after you gain entry. The programmers did a fantastic job and portray the true dangers and difficulties of being a SWAT officer. Being a SWAT officer is about making calculated decisions to ensure the safety of the hostages, the officers and the hostiles(unless they place you in immediate danger), not just randomly running around shooting up the location and the bad guys. If you like shoot 'em up type games, this game isn't for you, try Rogue Spear or Delta Force. If you want a strategy simulation that makes you think and requires you to act appropriately, then SWAT 3 is the game to try. Stay safe!

Excellent game, but a little bit unrealistic.,
By new york reader (New York City, New York) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Swat 3: Close Quarters Battle (CD-ROM)
This game actually rocks relative to its predecessors. SWAT 3 is basically the combination of first-person shooter and strategy game. Unlike Delta Force, you don't get to shoot around very often in this game.The best part of this game is that you can command and give instructions to your teammates. They are in fact doing a great job in following your orders. You can tell them to cover you or you can tell them to breach and bang a room before you enter it. When you don't give them orders, they intelligently move and do their own actions. The second best part of this game is that the enemies and hostages are positioned at different places for everytime you play the mission. You will never know where they are, so you have to be extremely careful. This excellent feature gives you a great feeling that this game is not monotone. Graphics is second-to-none and sound effects are excellent. This game is so realistic such that if you see yourself in the mirror, your character can actually BLINK! Furthermore, if you shoot one of your teammates, the other guys are going to hunt you down and shoot you in the head. However, there are several drawbacks. The most unrealistic part is that your weapons are invincible. Secondly, windows and mirror don't break. The worst part of this game is the lack of multiplayer support. Overall, SWAT 3 is probably one of the best first-person shooter games.
