Description
Tactical Strike is the third hand-held game in the long-line of the
SOCOM series. This one differs from its console cousins. Not only does the player have the ability to play as the Navy Seals, but he also can play as the international versions of the Seals such as the Dutch KCT, German KSK, Australian SASR, the Italian 9th Parachute Assault Regiment, the Spanish UOE, the British SAS, the French GIGN or the South Korean 707th Special Mission Unit.
The story takes place in Panama as the players national ambassador and the Panamanian ambassador are kidnapped by a local group of rebels called the La Mano Los Gente, who kidnap them and hold the pair for ransom and it is up to the player to rescue the ambassadors.
The gameplay is different from other SOCOM games, where is does have a four man squad to command, but instead of bringing up a menu interface and pointing the cursor to a certain location to give an order, this one features a locator based on the ground letting the player choose a specific location and using a certain button to either take cover, ambush, attack, defend, etc.
There are nine different non-liner missions to play in with the option of two instant action missions for each stage and the story is told with pre-rendered cut-scenes.
