Full Spectrum Warrior - PlayStation 2

In order to rectify this, Full Spectrum Warrior tasks you with control of a four-man squad of soldiers who are normally armed with nothing more than a machine gun and grenades. The first thing to realise is that you don't directly control any of the soldiers and are therefore not responsible for aiming or shooting, or even moving. Instead the game plays more like a real-time strategy, where you must indicate where to move and who to shoot at and let your grunts get on with the actual business of aiming. This makes for a uniquely engrossing experience and you do genuinely feel you're being taught something about real-world tactics.

The incredibly realistic graphics also help to completely immerse you in the game--whether they'll make you more or less likely to eye up those TA ads is debatable, once you realise what a hard life soldiers really have. --David Jenkins
