S W I N E.

S W I N E.C.S. is an ambitious game that focuses on both the stealth action and team play (sort of). In the game, you'll start out on the outskirts of France, before suddenly gaining independence as a member of the French Resistance. You'll form a band of rebels against the Germans, and then join forces with the Resistance to fight back against the German army and take out the Nazis. At the start of the game, you'll only have one character on the team, and he'll have access to a limited amount of weapons, but eventually you'll be able to unlock more.

The story's not unlike the Clancy books that have been written by Clancy, so you'll be able to follow events from a historical point of view. The narrative is divided into short subcategories, but these are essentially small missions in which you'll find yourself sneaking through specific rooms, fighting your way through different military forces, and taking on enemy troops. Each mission will take you through several types of situations, though the game's difficulty level will decrease as you progress.

The visuals in particular are looking good. The game's characters are impressive, with facial animation that has been modified to give them a good amount of detail. For instance, during the first mission, you'll see one of the soldiers running through a theater, with his face (which, at this point, is modeled on his head) buckling as he moves past. The whole thing looks quite good, and the detail on the facial expressions in the soldiers is very well done.

One of the key elements in Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter is its sound. You'll hear a fair amount of ambient noise while you're playing the game, which, in addition to the deafening amounts of noise, means that your enemies will actually tire of you. Another cool element is that you can make yourself a sound source when you're in a mission. This feature is especially useful when you're in the thick of a firefight and are getting shot up. You can also hear noises of gunfire coming from your silenced weapons while being in the midst of a firefight, which is pretty handy when you're in a firefight with a lot of enemies.

The sound of your enemies is a lot more realistic than you might think.

When you're in a firefight, your teammates will run up and knock you out. The game even features some useful functions such as the fact that you can run in on enemies and blow them up. If they do get shot up, they'll be alerted to your presence and will start attacking the nearest enemy instead. You'll be able to enter a room, enter a room, use a ladder, and get out of there. The game is a bit more open and free to explore. The level design is pretty expansive, as you're going from location to location, and there are plenty of side objectives. One of these side objectives is to find the missing satellite dishes of a Soviet Russia team that were found at the start of the game. You'll have to take a series of small satellites to deliver it to the exact location.

The graphics in Cold War are incredibly sharp and impressively detailed. The color is a little on the saturated side, but it's definitely a strong color palette that mixes right with the dark and neon-laden environment. The character models are a little odd in places, especially when you're playing as one of the two Russian soldiers, but they're still very nicely done. The environments are also a little barren. Still, the game's high-res character models are good, although they lack some of the detail of the Unreal Engine 2 engine. The levels are equally impressive, and there are some rough spots in the various levels. For example, there's a lack of hair lighting, and the buildings don't have any personality. Additionally, there are a few inconsistent camera angles when you're climbing the levels. It's also a little jarring when you're stuck in certain areas, such as one that doesn't have any real texture to it.

In terms of sound, the game sounds great. You'll hear some of the traditional rock soundtrack as well as Dolby 5.1 support, but it's mostly in the audio department as well. The effects are nicely done, with an impressive amount of interactivity. The ambient noise that you'll hear, such as the whine of nearby birds, make a great accompaniment to your playing through the game. The visuals are bright and impressive, and the audio has some serious depth. You'll hear the many sound effects that seem to be a hallmark of the Unreal Engine 2 engine, such as the fire and explosions that are triggered by sound.

Based on the early screenshots, it's safe to say that Unreal Tournament III will be one of the most impressive titles on the Xbox. The only hitch is that the visuals are somewhat lacking in comparison to the PC version.
