About this game
This is one of those first generation soldier shooters, that was one of the first games to emphasize tactics before total mayhem.
This game let you lead a kind of special forces which you chose out of a bigger group, like in Hidden & Dangerous .

The difference in this game is that it's somewhat more action, and that it's played in third-person view.
The game takes you to several places of the earth, where you have to complete the mission objectives rather than just killing everyone (though completing missions often is about killing) to win the game.
About PlayStation
The original PlayStation (1994) brought CD-based gaming and 3D graphics to the mainstream, ending Nintendo's console dominance of the previous two generations. It's now firmly in "retro collecting" territory: original jewel cases with intact manuals command a real premium over disc-only copies, and several RPGs from its later years (when Sony deliberately courted the genre) are among the most expensive commonly-collected games from the era.
Gamevaro tracks Spec Ops: Ranger Elite for PlayStation with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Spec Ops: Ranger Elite to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This PS1 release dates back to 2009.
