The game looks very promising the first time the player loads it up. It's immediately apparent that the game is ported from the PC and thankfully the graphics look sharp and detailed (even on a television). The animation is smooth and realistic, and while the frame rate can slow down quite drastically when an explosion occurs for the most part it remains playable (especially in first person mode, third person causes a few headaches with dodgy camera angles). There are still a few graphical glitches evident in the game however, including some annoying horizon pop-up and some polygon clipping which can see an agent get stuck in a wall and have to turn his back on the enemy to get out again.

Like Rainbow Six the player must sift through a number of preparation screens in which they must choose their team for the mission, as well as pick up equipment from the limited amount that is available (more can be picked up out in the field). The mission briefing is quite in-depth too, and explains in detail your objectives and just how your superiors expect you to pull them off. All this is displayed in a nice animated map of your objective with a high quality voice-over. Choosing the right men for the job is also important, and the player has the luxury of quite a few volunteers from various different nations, all of which have a specialisation of skills in different areas. If you are the sort of person who'd rather jump straight into the action however, the CPU can randomly generate all of the above selections for you.
