SWAT 2 is the latest title in the Police Quest series in which you're in command of a Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) team. The game features a third-person, top-down view. The advanced AI system makes the game different each time you play. Both non-player characters (such as innocent bystanders) and the terrorists behave in unpredictable fashions. The direction the game takes is affected by the decisions made by the characters you control.You can choose from 100 individuals for your team, which include real policemen from the Los Angeles Police Department. You can make your selections based on their weapons proficiency and their cross-training skills (in entry, tear gas, rappelling, hand-to-hand combat, and first aid). Each individual is also rated on aggressiveness, courage, cooperation, and intelligence. SWAT members can also be certified in special skill areas (sniper, explosives, K9, etc.).SWAT 2 features actual weapons, tactics, and locales to re-create the harsh reality of crime fighting in Los Angeles.
