What They Say:
Check out these quotes from reviews & previews
"Close Combat's not a bad game. I don't need to slap it with a "Buyer Beware" sticker, unless of course you're sick and tired of these types of games. If First to Fight offered us something fresh and exciting I'd wholeheartedly recommend it, but it resembles at least five games that have come before it and some of them are better. It's being sold for $39.99 and that's a decent price, but I'd patiently wait a few months until the tag reads $29.99 or even $19.99. When that happens, accept the mission."
"Close Combat is a competent squad-based shooter that offers a fun cooperative mode and an artificial intelligence that is at times quite impressive and at other times completely boneheaded."
"...Close Combat: First to Fight is a solid, likeable squad-based first-person shooter. It's a respectable title from a first-time development team, and it's remarkable how in all ways this FPS handles strict military tactics and protocol."
"Close Combat: First to Fight is a classic example of not being the best looking or sounding game around but still delivers what gamers are really after, fun factor both on and offline. The Xbox Live component performs very nicely and is taken up to a new level if you can find the right crowd to play with. The game gives gamers nearly everything that they want from a tactical title, supporting nearly everything that the Xbox has to offer."
"Close Combat: First to Fight gets some things right, but if the poor AI and numerous glitches were ironed out then it could have been one of the finest tours of duty around. As it stands, it�s an excellent multiplayer game that just can�t compete with some of its rivals. If modern combat and multiplayer are your bag then check Close Combat. Otherwise, Brothers in Arms is much more worthy of your attention."
