Very entertaining game, its only flaw is a bit complicated control system.

AI sucks (both enemy and hostage). Sprite collision sucks. Aiming sucks.

But... as soon as I could afford an M16A2, the game kind of picked up. No more hiding, damn it! Good ideas, nice level design, good pace. Time limits sometimes seemed a little over the top.

Tactical shooters (or whatever) aren't my finest cup of tea, especially when the tactics involved add up to try over and over until you memorize the map rather than plan ahead. Failing to buy the right items from the get go was also a sure way to lose, as was doing objectives in the wrong order, and so on, and so on...
