Gaming Nexus writes: "City-Interactive's SAS Secure Tomorrow is another entry in the nearly endless stream of titles in the "Budget Shooter" genre, and as such should benefit from the low expectations one brings to such a game. It seems unfair to compare one of these games with top-shelf titles like Call of Duty, Crysis, and the like. The again, it also seems unfair to grade a second tier game at the same level as a state-of-the-art, high budget shooter that only costs $20 more. I suffer this dilemma whenever I am faced with reviewing a budget game, and SAS was no different.
The plot of SAS, such as it is, centers around a terrorist group attaining control over a nuclear weapon/plant/insert applicable device here. This plot is, of course, as old and tired as a 1st generation iPod. That said, there aren't any mutants involved and that's always worth at least one point in my book. I hate mutants. In SAS, you will be working your way through a prison riot, an office complex, the icy geography of Greenland, and ultimately a nuclear reactor facility. You will be accompanied in your quest by two fellow squad members. So far, so… routine."

It's surprising how far friendly AI hasn't come in the last few years. Even brand new releases still have your allies wandering into your line of fire, so it's certainly not a problem unique to SAS or its age.
I like the idea of field modification. It'd be nice to see more of that, and it's good that you drew attention to one of the few selling points of an otherwise forgettable game.

In this latest adventure, the player is a member of the storied SAS, part of the UK's special forces, as they try to head off an international incident involving escaped terrorists and nuclear weapons - all without the help of Sean Connery."
DreamStation does respect what they do, and consider the publisher City Interactive, probably projected this game on a relatively low budget destined for the bargain bin. It will eat up some time but they do not see re-playability on a large scale or this coming out in sequels.
