    4 Stars Zekistan or Afghanistan? 29/09/2004
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages A third perspective real-time strategy game! Not many of those about!

    Disadvantages Disadvantages The missions are like puzzles. Once you know how to 'do' them, they're done.

    Full Spectrum Warrior marks the beginning of a new genre in gaming; it’s unlike any other game out there, combining the squad based tactics of titles like Ghost Recon and fast paced strategy. Unlike other team based shooters out there, in FSW you don’t actually take direct control of your troops but instead, move them around the map with a context sensitive cursor and giving them fire sectors telling them which direction they should shoot in. Strategy games don’t usually translate well to consoles due to the lack of a mouse but FSW is an exception, the controls are very easy to use and within ... more

    2 Stars As much fun as playing with Grandma!! 16/04/2006
    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages decent graphics - good sound effects

    Disadvantages Disadvantages boring missions - third person perspective - very easy to complete

    I am a big fan of war games - as my list of X-Box games reviewed shows but I had on several visits to game pondered on purchasing Full Spectrum Warrior but decided against it. All doubts were cast aside when I saw it in the pre-owned bin for only £8 - alarm bells should have started ringing that the bin was only full of this game - this really should have told em something but it didn't - I could weep at my lack of common sense at times. The game is a third person strategy where you control 2 US Marine fire teams through various missions - which take place in combat zones that look strangely ... more

    4 Stars Lead from the front. 25/06/2005
    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages Graphics and sound.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Repetitive game play.

    This was the very first game I bought for x - box and I must say that initially I had mixed feelings about the game. To be honest at first it didn't really appeal to me because I was expecting a totally different game. I was looking for a slick, first person arcade type shooter but what i got was totally different. Therefore Full Spectrum Warrior sat on the shelf for quite some time until I picked it up again a week or so ago. My desire for a slick shooter was satisfied with Halo 2 and a couple of others so i could now fully appreciate Full Spectrum Warrior and on the second sitting I was ... more

    3 Stars DEAD AGAIN AND AGAIN AND............. 17/08/2004
    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages Good concept

    Disadvantages Disadvantages two short , online play is limited,difficult

    Lets start with the plus side of the game first. First looks are great good graphics soundtracks not to bad ,tutorial is very good and after the tutorial mission you know how to play the game which is a bit complicated to start with.You start the game with two teams of four soldiers Alpha and Bravo ,You control one team of four at a time and switch between the two teams you move around the map finding ways to kill the enemys using say Team Alpha to cover while Team Bravo sneaks past and find a place to kill them.You can also ask for recon and airstrikes. the minus of the game are the game has ... more

    4 Stars full spec 06/05/2005
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages great gameplay, stunning graphics,

    Disadvantages Disadvantages slow reaction, not everyones type of game

    Something that has to be said about full spectrum warrior is that this aint going to be what you expected i bet many of you will think you run around blasting people well wrong this game is about making decisions.The characters are based on americas army.... the game controls are as followed use the left stick to move your cursor around the floor to postion your men.The right stick is used to look around leaving the buttons on the pad to switch teams issuing commands the controls at first do seem a little weird but once you get playing the game it comes quite easy. But on the other hand the ... more

    5 Stars the most realistic urban combat game ever! 13/10/2004
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages very very realistic!

    Disadvantages Disadvantages takes time to get used to.

    This game was mainly being made for the US Army but its also been released publically(though with some weapon "secrets" removed). It's purpose is to train light-infantry troopers in urban combat behavior. And it does this very realistically! This game is as close as I have ever seen a videogame come to the real thing. You don't play any of the soldiers but you can give orders to them kinda like a strategy game. It still plays very close to the "dirt" though so don't scribe it of as a normal strategy game. This is real combat behaviour. I like the fact that just like in real life, every soldier ... more

    3 Stars Americans are too loud! 20/11/2004
    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages Looks impressive

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Limited to 1 player game unless you have Live

    Initially I was pleasantly suprised by this game being very much strategy driven, having expected something of a shoot-em-up (Conflict desert Storm Style). However as I played through the tutorial I became very annoyed with the 'gung-ho' things the soldiers in your squad constantly shout out. Every time you send your squad on a move, be it two meters or a mile they shout out things like 'let's go, move out' or 'alpha team let's rock'. This constant, repetative sound soon got to me and I was very annoyed with it... Another let down for me was that if even 1 of your men died you failed the ... more

    4 Stars Full Spectrum Warrior (xbox) 05/12/2006
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Great grahics, quality sound, very realistic

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Boring missions, Third person perspective

    When i first saw this game, i thought, wow i gotta have it! my first thoughts were that it was an FPS (first person shooter), but i was wrong. You control 2 US Army fire teams through, many missions. At first the game is very addictive, but then, you realise how easy it is, and how boring the missions are. I stopped playing it for some while, but now i have started to play it again and i am really enjoying it. If you're into Military game i suggest you buy this one, its very realistic, with the different commands and procedures taken by the US Army. The sounds is quality, and gives your room a ... more

    4 Stars Full Spectrum Warrior 11/02/2006
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages something different

    Disadvantages Disadvantages not halo

    The first thing to get through your head is exactly what type of game Full Spectrum Warrior (FSW) is. This is a third-person tactical combat game set in an urban environment that shares more similarities to a real-time strategy (RTS) title than an action game. There is no God-like perspective which most RTS titles use, but the primary focus of FSW is to control two US Army fire teams (and occasionally a third) through various hostile settings in the fictional Middle Eastern country of Zekistan. In doing so you'll move from cover to cover, using suppressing fire and flanking maneuvers to take ... more
