Xbox-exclusive tactical co-op TPS with four characters with distinct abilities. Visually ambitious for its era, varied missions. 4-player co-op was its main draw. Less well-aged technically but concept remains interesting.

Collector interest

2003 Microsoft tactical squad shooter, conceived as an attempted answer to Halo's success with a four-soldier team of complementary skills. American version of this ambitious but mixed-reception first-party title, it remains the most distributed. Desirability rests on that Microsoft in-house production status with avowed ambition, sought by collectors documenting the firm's bets on first-person shooting after Halo.
