Terror Strike: Close Quarters Combat

Speed kills. Consider this the big message of Terror Strike: Close Quarters
Combat, a year-old tactical shooter (it hit Europe in early 2006 under the
name of The Regiment) from Kuju Entertainment that revs up the
terrorist-killing meme of Rainbow Six so much that it feels like a lethal
biathlon. This certainly lends the proceedings a unique intensity, but
ventilating tangos and rescuing hostages like some kind of Flash in army
boots exposes serious holes in squad artificial intelligence, level design,
and game mechanics. So all this breathtaking velocity really only serves to
take you from "Hey, this is kind of a neat budget take on Tom Clancy" to "I
want to throw my mouse through my monitor" at a breakneck pace.
<p>If nothing else, the developer does stick close to the goal of accurately
depicting lightning-quick British SAS raids to free hostages from the
clutches of terrorists. Everything feels fairly authentic, even though the
1980 assault on the Iranian embassy in London is the only nonfictional
scenario of the four included here. The other three--the Islamist bombing of
the London underground, an IRA attack on a farm, and skinheads taking over
parliament--feel a bit "gamey" due to the presence of huge armies of
terrorist goons, but they still accurately convey the speed at which
commandos have to work in hostage situations. Both the simulation and arcade
difficulty settings seem realistic, too, especially the former, with its
one-shot kills and lack of crosshairs. Video mission introductions add even
more military atmosphere, as they're delivered by a grizzled ex-soldier type
named only Mac, who sure seems to have seen it all before.
