The weather is always diferent when you start a mission, doors, enemies, civilians, blocked door with objects are all procedurally generated, so you have endless replayability.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
26 of 236 sampled reviews raised it
I played the SWAT Commander demo a lot and I really hoped there were going to improve it because performance were not great. (was around 60-90 fps, but sometime felt laggy.) They did improve it : Now I run it 190 fps at the highest, graphics are really good and I really love how you can play solo with AI teammates : they respond really well, better than most Tactical FPS.
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
20 of 236 sampled reviews raised it
Cannot remember when would have had this much fun playing co-op, but that i remember it's been almost 20 years since last time got in my hands a beanbag gun & that brings good memories.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
20 of 236 sampled reviews raised it
Many levels, many locations, and most importantly - lots of weapons let you enjoy the gameplay and feel this drive.
