I’ve been too sick to write, and oftentimes too numbed up from the dentist to do much recording. In the meantime, I’ve been playing around with some of my old games, like SWAT 4!
In this episode, we serve a high-risk warrant to a suspected kidnapper, murderer, and rapist who still lives with his mother. And let me tell ya, she’s one tough old bat!

scene with the old lady is the funniest thing in the entire series
I actually bought and played this game because of these videos. It’s pretty fun. But I’m curious Spoony, all the other videos are in sequential order– how come you started with level 2? Anyway, I can’t wait for you to do the ‘Children of Taronne’ level. If you do do it that is. I dunno why. Makes me kind of sick I guess, though I’m really curious to see what Spoony playing through that level looks like.
You really need a “I’ve got a bomb!” T-shirt. That was so funny.
Looks fun to play- but I would suck at it…prolly get jumpy and just shoot everything…or die trying not to shoot anything.
XD Hilarious.
@Kudo, where do you live? This level is second level in my swat too. Could it be we’re from Europe and spoony from USA so there’s different levels? Who knows..
@ Assiman:
Notice his Next Level screen after he debriefs. He’s already got the first one beat, he just chose to start with this one for some reason.
Seriously, the dude had a frickin’ dungeon in his basement and the mother didn’t know? Absolutely no inkling of the sick shit her son was doing? What did she think when he brought home struggling, tied up, unconscious girls and never saw them leave? What about their wails of horror, sorrow, and pain? What, did she think it was the house settling?
Fucking bitch deserved a few more tazer blasts.
From an internet walkthrough:
“The mantra of SWAT is that it’s a life-saving organization, not a life-taking
one. SWAT officers don’t go around and randomly shoot up people; this ain’t
Conflict: Vietnam.”
SWAT is the kind of ultra-realistic game series that appeals to a very narrow type of audience, namely military and police types. I played SWAT 4 when it came out, and I remember I would rely mainly on my teammates to clear rooms, while I would handle most of the cuffing and reporting. They are very good at clearing rooms most of the time, and very conscious about the “rules of engagement” you must follow. On the rare occasion when I would have to shoot someone, it would mostly be due to an officer going down.
It’s really good about showing you what it might really feel like for a SWAT officer in these situations. The Magnum guy is a good example. Imagine how it looks from a third perspective: five heavily-armored police officers with submachine guns and shotguns blasted a scared kid with no armor and a revolver. Police are meant to “protect and serve” as it were, and that also means making up for people’s bad decisions (such as pointing a gun at a police officer). They want to give everyone as many chances as they can before they have to rely on deadly force. You did react properly, but you lost points because he wasn’t aiming directly at you.
Rainbow 6 was probably the beginning of this whole tactical FPS era. The SWAT series was interesting, but not until SWAT 4 did it really become refined. Ghost Recon (the first one) was the same way, but in regards to soldiers rather than police. Everything since, however, has fallen into the “Action FPS trap” and now it’s all about full-auto machine guns and infinite health.
spoony i saw this video 10 times and i think you pepper spray that girl the 2nd time could of been the use of deadly force
Team follow me!! (25 secs later) Team use flashbang….Team!! where are they? did you hear something..no.do you think he is in troble…….i’ll gave him 2 mins..ok
This is what happens when you fuck a stranger in the ass larry
God I’ve seen this video 3 times and it never gets old.
“Bitch, I’ve got a gun! Bitch, I’ve got a bomb!” <—–I lol every time
Great review, but SWAT 4 is actually a *successor* to the R6 series :P
PS: specifically, it’s a streamlined version of R6 3: Raven Shield with all the planning removed. IMO it’s more fun to play thanks for its ad-hoc action style as opposed to the rigorous planning you had to do in R6, although on the later stages I actually had to plan it ahead anyway ^__^
I’d heard of this game before, but didn’t really think much of it until I saw these videos. This game is pretty fun, and just difficult enough to keep things interesting.
I’m still trying to beat the hardest difficulty with non-lethal weapons only. So far, no success on the last three missions.
I’d have to say this game shines the brightest in multiplayer Co-op, but it’s also entertaining as hell to just play big team-on-team deathmatches online. I’d have to say my fondest memory is when me and some buddies got together and played SWAT 4 on a LAN, with whiteboard for planning and everything. Shouting “RUNNER” or “Bang ‘Em” never fails to make one feel awesome.
So I just played this level, and I did it really tactically, splitting the team up and going in from two ways. But, there was no-one around. It was really, REALLY creepy to just walk around the house when it was empty with the music playing. I found the granny in one room, but the crook was locked up in the last dungeon-room.
Creepy as fuck!
Most epic arrest ever
Bitch I’ve got a gun..Bitch I’ve got a bomb!
You see what happens? DO YOU SEE WHAT HAPPENS LADY?
He totally reached for it!
I call shenanigans!
“I didn't wanna leave without saying hello to you!”
-Spray-

I've seen this series so many damn times…. its just wild man. Same with all the other series. If i come to the site and nothing new is up im like “ah fuck it might as well watch (insert series here) again…” never gets old lol.
Haha i laughed a lot when you said bitch i've got a bomb :D
Unauthorized deadly force? He reached for a magnum. So I shot him in the chest!
who was that guy in the window? That was the target or that guy with magnum?
and about that old lady… she deserved what she got. The most awesome – bomb threat.
“Looks like Michael Myers's house”
“BItch, I've got a gun.”
This was the very first thing I watched on the site. The SWAT videos are still my all-time favs. Even though its pretty much improv the entire time, I was laughing my ass off throughout every video.
I remember seeing this game in an old issue of Game Informer and really wanting to buy it. Too bad my computer at the time ran slower than a 1984 Apple.
I really find it funny that an old granny is more aggressive than I serial killer.
Best Quotes:
“Bitch, I've got a bomb”
“You see what happens”
“Good boy! You're smarter than your mommy was.”
“You've been a busy boy, tiny”
“Don't tell me you have a dungeon. This is turning into Seven”
“Oh, I didn't want to leave without saying hello to you” (Sprays granny in the eyes)
You know i was totally confused by the “Prove I can think just as fast on my feet… As like He can” when I watched this the first time. Now knowing that your brother is a Cop it all makes sense.
I actually just watched this for the first time about a week ago or so. I made it through the whole Let's Play by now. A shame I missed it before, but this was really entertaining and I pretty much knew it would be. Some of the weird horror-ish crappy dirty creepy fmv games just aren't my bag per se, but I don't know why I never tried this one until about a week ago.
I may begin to comment on this now per video, but yeah….
“He lives with his mother………”
um, heres a better way of stopping the guy from shooting you, ive never played the game, but i believe that everyone shouldve known this, SHOOT HIM IN THE FUCKING LEG
Sir, your in my way.
Don't taze my granny, dude!
Don’t taze my granny, dude!
The evil do that he do do.
It’s a good thing you became an internet reviewer instead of a cop. Specking of cops, I wounder what Dr. Insaneo would be like on the force?
