I played it a while ago, with a friend of mine on his LAN. We had a lot of fun with it in co-op.

It's pretty fiddly when it comes to procedures, but that's part of the game's challenge; you're a SWAT officer that's going in to subdue suspects, not a soldier clearing an apartment block in Fallujah.  Sometimes it can play like that, but sometimes the mission(s) require you to arrest rather than blast into atoms. :)

There's one level that's particularly creepy, where you're going in to rescue someone from a serial killer. The environment is highly creepy.

I'm considering buying it, but I don't have much time for it.

isn't that the one that also models psychological dominance?  I remember Sterrett talking about one that they used in class for that very reason, and I thought it was one of the SWAT series.
