CTU: Counter Terrorism Unit is both a bad game and a boring one.

There isn't a single aspect that this game does well.

Graphics:
I'm sure you've gleemed from the screenshots that these are dated and might have passed for servicable in 2001.
Really not worthy of any praise.

Sound:
The music in this game as far as I can tell is a generic action theme played on loop constantly, that's it, that one track.
The gun fire sounds are not satisfying at all, very rudimentary.
The voice acting is very mediocre.

Gameplay:
The controls are terrible.
The AI is terrible.
The gunplay is terrible.
The movement is terrible.
The 'player feedback' is terrible - i.e. nothing is there to tell you that you picked up evidence or you made progress toward a goal.

Content/value for money:
This game has 4 missions other than the tutorials. The first of which I completed, with no exaggeration, in the space of about 3 minutes. The second mission is a bunch of identical rooms in what I guess is a hotel, there are dark tight corridors and when you use the flashlight you can see the terrible shadows everywhere. Honestly there's barely anything to play here even if you were to overlook all of the problems.

Verdict:
This game is horrible and a waste of your time and money. I wanted to give it a chance, I love SWAT and Rainbow Six, I would have given this a positive review for sure if I derived any enjoyment whatsoever from it - I did not - in fact, I have to now ask for a refund. It was that bad.
