The SWAT: Global Strike Team is made up of specially selected SWAT officers and ex-military personnel who have shown the ability to adapt to and overcome any situation they encounter.

You are Mathias Kincaid, a former member of the U.S. Army’s elite Delta Force turned SWAT: GST element leader. The elaborate storyline focuses on you and your two teammates: a veteran sniper and an expert technical specialist. After assuming control of Kincaid, your objective is to command your teammates through several diverse missions while maintaining the tactical upper hand over your opponent. This means using the environment, the latest gear, the latest cutting edge weaponry, the element of surprise, and anything else you can get your hands on to succeed. Using the full capabilities of your other two teammates is essential to mission success. In one mission, for example, you are given the task of eliminating a number of suicide bombers, which requires the use of the sniper to immobilize the suspects and the tech expert to diffuse the bomb.

Follow Kincaid and his team from basic training through 21 missions linked by a powerful storyline. Gamers can also team-up with a friend and battle through 10 multiplayer only co-op missions. If working together isn’t their specialty, they can choose the Deathmatch option and fight head-to-head.

Command your teammates by issuing orders using either the intuitive controller interface or the optional voice recognition system. This allows your team to move quickly and effectively, making even complex maneuvers easy to perform. The optional headset will take advantage of the expansion slot on the Xbox controller or the USB port on the PS2.
