Secret Service - PC/Mac

Graphics could be sharper but still good.

Did not work with computer

I got this game, because my friend gave it to me for my birthday. I was excited to play it so I installed it and started it. I started the first mission. It took me for like 3 days to complete the first mission! Gladly, the game started getting easier for me. I got to complete the whole game in about a month. I think it was definetly worth it for free (I got it from my friend). The real cost is $10.00 at Target. However, I think it's worth it for $10.00 too. This game had pretty good graphics, the gameplay was pretty good, and it's very hard but gets easier every mission. You can choose up to about 26 weapons including grenades and explosives. My favorite is the Ak-47. You can also play online if you have internet or LAN connection (no one plays online). MY recommended system requirment is pentium 3 700, 256mb RAM, 16mb video card, and a sound card. I ran this game on Celeron 2.6, 1025mb RAM, 128mb GeForce Ti 4600, no sound card and had no problem. I think you should get this game if you are a hardcore shooter fan. If you are not, don't get this game. Overall, this game is pretty good game for shooter fans and it probably will be worth it for $10.00 at Target. I really had fun with game even though it was the most hardest FPS I have ever played. It was also the most challenging and difficult, but enjoyable game I have ever played. P.S. I also highly recommend Medal of Honor, Call of Duty, and No One Lives Forever.

This game is great for great gammers. I read all of these reviews about how this game is no good. How it's to hard. "I couldn't beat the first mission. I couldn't get past the second mission." The reason this game gets bad reviews is because it gets to people. Everyone is use to being able to get shot 500 times and just hold down on the mouse and spray exhorbate amounts of ammo. This game is good because it's challenging. Now granted it isn't quite a Swat 2 or 3 or a Ghost Recon, but this game especially for 10 bucks is awesome. The enemy AI is smart, and one of the things I liked best was the free range of movement. Most games give you a planned route, but this game you can create your movements. Jumping from a building down to a balcony, walking across a piece of broken timber to another rooftop, it's great. This game is for good gammers and thats it. If your a hater of this game it's only because you don't have any skill and you want to be able to beat the game in one night. Thats what I'm sick of playing nowadays and thats why this game is fun.

This is one of the most entertaining, awsome first person shooters I've played, (right up there with the Delta Force series.) In my opinion, the strongest point of this game is the AI, lighting/shadowing, the physics (especially in wounding an enemy.) One reviewer said that the enemies just fall over like stumps when you shoot them. I'm not sure if we're reviewing the same game; the death sequences are the most realistic I've seen. The only time they ever "fall over like stumps" is when you shoot them directly in the head, (in which case they're supposed to fall over like stumps.) The graphics are average/good, but the realism is far ahead of any other first person shooter I've played (though I haven't played them all.)But the developers made one terrible mistake. There is no quick save option. You can't save positions during a level like almost all other first person shooters, only between the levels. I'm sure that one could argue that this adds to the realism of the game, but to me, this makes the game virtually impossible. There's a difference between a challenging game and a really frusterating game; it's just too hard. I (like many other reviewers it seems) can't even get past the first level on easy mode, (without cheat codes that is.) You can find the cheat codes on the internet through any search engine. I honestly don't know how the programers expected anyone to be able to beat this game otherwise. It's still a good game and alot of time was put into it.

Alright, Secret Service is a good game, but there's definatly room for improvement. I too was looking for a SWAT type game where you have to train and learn to play, this isn't it. They throw you right into the game, which some people like, I don't. But once I started playing I began to like it. It's hard ..., which isn't great, but at least you get your money's worth as far as time spent on playing.It seems as though my computer can handle the graphics so I can't complain there, but it is a very difficult game, but I think after the first level, it may get cool (although I have yet to spend more than 3min in the game without dying).

This is a very cool game and definitely is in the league of the other great FPS games out there today. The only problem that I have encountered that takes away from the fun, are the problems that I have even with somewhat of a fast computer. As the game progresses, it slows down due to the clutter of the people you kill etc...You definitely need 256RAM to truly enjoy the game the way it was meant to be enjoyed. Once you don't have to worry about the glitches, the environments are very cool and will keep you interested for a long time. The people are very realistic and have true to life physics in the way they fall when they are shot or blown up.

The high point of the game is its realistic physics and textures. For the game play it runs extremely smooth for me. All I have is a original AMD Thunderbird 1.2 Ghz with 512 DDR and a Radon 9000 Pro and I have absolutely no problems (XP Pro). Those of you who have HT P4's with tricked out nvida(s) and it runs choppy need to figure out what's up. This game has so much potential it not funny. With some tweaking what you have is a realistic version of CS. The sounds are better, the effects are great (e.x. flash bangs and explosions) I cant really ask for any more. As for the difficulty, those gamers who are used to being like Rambo and shoot'n em' up, no wonder why its so hard for you. You need to act like the SS not trigger happy Duke Nukem. Just try it out for yourself and see...
