Let’s say that you tell the second ranger to "hold up," then using the first ranger you move up a road and cross a bridge and take out a couple of enemy guards. Sometimes too, the second ranger can pose problems. With the scope, ankle or wrist wounds are instantly fatal. When using a scope, you can kill a person with a shot to just about any part of their body. Most of the missions are pretty exciting.īut, there also are some odd things about Ranger Elite as well. There is a large assortment of weapons and explosives to choose from. There are plenty of good things about this game. The opening sequence is all right, but the final, beat the game sequence is laughable, useless, and more importantly, unrewarding. Chillingly realistic? Come on! The graphics are chillingly average at best. I thought the graphics were okay until, I read that marketing blurb on the case and became enraged by that outlandish claim. The trees reminded me of Lego trees, you know, kind of squared off, more X-shaped than round shaped. ![]() Even though the packaging of Ranger Elite boasts "chillingly realistic environments," I however, was very aware that it was unreal and not chilled at all. The graphics of Ranger Elite are not as good as those in Army Men, but are good nonetheless. These controls can be daunting at first, but with a little playing time can become quite natural. There are buttons to switch rangers, to sidestep, to change posture, to reload and to roll. There are buttons for using scopes, weapons, grenades, inventory and maps.

You can switch which ranger you are completely controlling during play. One ranger you have complete control over and you have limited control over the other ranger. At the beginning of each mission you pick two rangers out of your six-member squad, each member has talents suited for different missions. Ranger Elite looks and plays very much like Army Men 3D, except that you are controlling two rangers. From there it’s to Afghanistan to battle terrorists, then to Egypt to thwart drug smugglers, and finally, the Indo-China border to perform a covert operation against the communists. The game starts off in Alaska where you must stop an extremist militia from blowing up the Alaskan pipeline. In Ranger Elite, players control two rangers through four different stages, rescuing hostages, stealth attacks on enemy strongholds, disarming missile and bombs, and fighting scores of bad guys. Spec Ops: Ranger Elite is part of Take 2 Interactive’s $9.99 line of games. This is Spec Ops: Ranger Elite for the Playstation game console. You, and your squad of army rangers, are all that stands between them and conquest. Militias, terrorists, and communist dictatorships are threatening the security of the free world.
