How it feels

a tense, methodical first-person tactical game where you must pressure suspects into surrender rather than just shooting them

What players say

Players call CTU a poorly executed successor to SWAT 4 and Rainbow Six 3, with clunky controls and unresponsive AI teammates that get stuck on doors. The campaign is very short, multiplayer is broken, but the map editor is simple and enjoyable. Reviews are nearly unanimous in recommending against purchase.
