When SWAT 3 was first released it faced two major criticisms, namely a short mission list and a lack of multiplayer options. Both of these have been addressed by the SWAT 3: Elite Edition, which sports a total of 21 missions and full multiplayer support for up to five players in deathmatch or cooperative games. Add to this a well-organized mod interface for facilitating further enhancements to the game as they are developed and a fully fledged scenario editor and you can no longer criticize this game for a lack of longevity. With these issues resolved, you are left with the most impressive portrayal of tactical squad action in the first-person shooter genre to date. Set in the near future in Los Angeles, you are placed at the head of a five-man armed response team of the LAPD. A conference on world peace plays the backdrop to justify all the crazies coming out of the woodwork. This provides you with a stream of linear missions ranging from hostage situations to disarming missiles, all set in real-life locations. While the likes of Quake 3 and Unreal Tournament offer "all-guns- blazing" action, subtlety is the order of the day in SWAT 3. A single bullet can put you down. With no health pack round the corner to come to your rescue, you need to employ guile and teamwork to survive. Unlike similar games, such as Rainbow Six, the teamwork isn't planned prior to the missions; rather it is managed on the fly with a number-driven tiered command system for your two-man teams. It works beautifully for the most part, and with a scaleable AI, you can ensure both your compatriots and the suspects put up a convincing display. This, combined with superb audio that blends information and suspense through radio chatter, well-modeled graphics, and tense gameplay, makes SWAT 3: Elite Edition a worthy addition to any gamer's collection. --Jason Weston

 Probably the best tactical shooter OF ALL TIME!!! February 1, 2004
Robert Kahn (Illinois)
When you get down to it, the rainbow six games are overrated. SWAT teams handle much more than international terrorism, a fact which SWAT 3 protrays vividly. The AI is incredible and really makes for a good sim. Buy this game. It's a good price.

 Good gameplay, runs on almost all systems, etc. July 19, 2002

SWAT 3 has great gameplay, combined with good controls and a realistic AI. Also worth noting is that the AI enemies are placed in random locations throughout the maps, allowing for more interesting replays of missions (the bad guys aren't always in the same spot!).Another thing that's worth noting is that the game will run on almost any system (Celeron processor? No problem!). I've personally observed it running at fast rates on fairly old computers that have Celeron processors. The only downside to the game is its infamous last mission. The last mission tries to force the player to move quickly through the map (due to a timer), in a failed attempt to delay the time that it takes for someone to complete the game. This only results in the last mission not encouraging the player traits that are so heavily encouraged in previous missions: patience and strategy. Over all, though, it's a great game. I highly recommend that you buy it.
CLOSEST YOU WILL GET TO CQB!!! FROM A MARINES EYE VIEW July 1, 2002

I am a US Marine and have been trained in CQB by DEA, Navy Seals, Delta Force, and alot more other organizations. This is the closest you will ever get besides being in a stack and doing the real thing. The weapons are not some made up [junk] they are what we really use. The terms are the same and the way they move, along with how they perfrom. If you want the best game ever made BUY THIS ONE!
FROM A US MARINE!!!
