First-person shooter from Destineer. Players lead a four-man fire team of US Marines through the perils of modern urban combat in Beirut. Gamers can play through the campaign as either a single player or a co-op experience through the use of online, LAN, Xbox Live or split screen. In addition, gamers can go head-to-head in the fire team arena with as many as 8 players simultaneously competing. Close Combat: First to Fight utilizes authentic Marine urban military doctrine, tactics and assets to save lives, take down insurgents and restore order. With direction from the US Marine Corps and a beautiful new engine from Destineer, Close Combat: First to Fight is as close as you can get on a computer or Xbox to being a Marine fire team leader in modern urban combat.

There might be a perceived lack of many things on Xbox, but military-themed shooters don't fall into this category by any stretch. It is thus with bravery that First to Fight attempts to break into this well-populated category, much in the same manner that America's fearless, valiant warriors of justice perform their various operations throughout the world. Familiar as the path is (and arguably with the odds stacked just as highly in its favor, as our well trained and equipped armed forces), First to Fight seems to have something to it that, if it's implemented correctly, could just as well make it stick out.
