Better on the PC

Rather than spend the $$$ to upgrade my PC with a video card that will handle the graphics requirements of new games, I went ahead and got the XBox 360. My main motivator behind getting this platform was this new Ghost Recon game. I spent countless hours on the previous release for the PC and loved every second of it.

This XBox release has stunning graphics (particularly over HDTV) and all the other bells and whistles. The missions are interesting and the storylines are engaging. But this beautiful game is lacking one thing I experienced with the previous G.R.: I'm not completely sucked in. I don't know if it's the new platform or what, but there's something about this XBox 360 stuff that doesn't quite do it for me. I'll keep working with it though...

Not as good as advertised...

This game is a little difficult to reccomend to everybody, because it is not for everyone. It is a shooter, but do not expect something like Halo, because if you are aggressive in this game, you will die. It is a smarter game that requires more waiting and thinking. The controls are more difficult and the bullets are more deadly. It is also a squad-based game, but unfortunately, you will find some artificial intelligence issues with your other squad mambers. They too often kill themselves by not hiding or shooting, and unless you are constantly on top of their actions, which is undesireable, you run the risk of having them killed.

The first thing you will notice whie playing this game is that the graphics are absolutely beautiful. The graphics make this game very impressive, but unfortunatly, gameplay isn't as impressive. Sure, gameplay is good, but single player gameplay will not keep you coming back for more than one or two times.

Multiplayer on the other hand is great. That is, if you dont run into problems. There are many glitches that you will find online, and getting into a game session is painful, especially when you wait for over 10 mins to enter a game just to be thrown out after 10 seconds. This happened to me way too many times for me to over-look it. Also, offline miltiplayer is boring, uninteresting, and not fun.

So if you can over-look dificult controls, not-so-perfect gameplay, and a problem filled multiplayer feature, then you will find a game that has stunning graphics, and gameplay that will still bring you joy. And now that you can find this game for under $39, it is a good buy. thats why i give it a 4/5.

Great but missing one thing

Excellent game. I'm not much of a Tom Clancy fan but this game has me hooked. I docked one star for the lack of subtitles/captions!!! If you've played Gears of War and the subtitles bothered you, raise your hand.... I'm guessing no one! The option, at least, should be included with all games for Deaf and hard of hearing gamers. Believe me, there are a lot us out there. Get with it, software companies!!

Well Done!

I spent many long hours into the wee hours of the night playing this game -- it was way more fun than the demo or than I thought it would be. Just the one-player mode is fun; I've never played it online and probably never will. It's just fun offline, for me! Sorry for the brevity, but if you are interested in this game, just buy it and try it! If you're not that skillful with shooters (like I have become) it might take a little while to get used to, maybe an hour or two, but once you get the rhythm down it's worth every minute!

Game of the Year (So far)

My brother and I picked up this game from EB the other day and I just had to review this game.

Gameplay is great, although players die very quickly.

Graphics are the best graphics in a game I have ever seen since Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones. Realistic explosions rock!

Sound fits the game wherever you are and just keeps you in the mood to keep playing. (If you ever do stop)

Everything else is just perfect!

Overall Rating: 9.8 out of 10

Mexico City. I bet Rage is rolling in their Split.

Rage rocks, and so does this game. But it conflicts you. You want to live and the only way you do it is by shooting the people that are shooting at you. This is the first Ghost Recon game I have played. This is a sweet game that combines real time graphics with ultimate risk and strategy. The only problem I have come across in this game is that you can not shoot while the video communication is running. That means that a hostile can be shooting at you and you can't shoot back. Overall it is my favorite game for the 360

as good as it gets?

this game has great graphics and sounds. if youve played ghost recon before you know that gr has always been more of a strategy shooter, where your only goal is to keep youself and your team alive and get the job done at all cost, so with graw the overall purpose of the game has not changed, but allot has been added to it that allows for a whole new feel of the game, for example: you can now use drones to locate your enemies before you go in ...making it easier to plan ahead from where you will attack, you can also call in air support and order your team to get in position, mark enemies for your air support or ground support (allied tanks,apcs,etc) to fire at...and all this while taking heavy enemy fire yourself thanks to the new hug a wall for cover feature, also the movement of your charecter has been greatly improved for more realism...you can now slide quickly insto the crouch position to return fire to an enemy, or quickly go from running to throwing yourself flat on the floor to avoid getting shot, i did notice however that your ai team sometimes tend to get lost if you leave them somewhere far from you and order them to regroup, allot of times each team mate will run in a diffrent direction to try and get back to you....but this is only when your far from your team...which you shouldnt be, being a sqaud game and not a one man army fps...so as long as you use your sqaud the right way you wont have a problem with this anywayz.great fun best shooter for xbox 360 so far.

Wow!!!!!! ( the continuation)

I am the kid who reviewed on 12/27. After completeing the story mode i have to say that this game is a great buy. They keep you wound up all game long and for once the final mission is not a piece of crap. While the 2nd to last mission really is alot harder than the last, the final mission has you and your squad chasing the terrorist leader carlos Ontiveros in a frantic search for the football. ( If you dont know what that is you will) Once you gun him down you will be extracted. and find out why the rebels knew so much about our operation. The results will blow your mind.
My final impresion of this game is that it depicted its time period well without being over the top. What I mean by that is it didnt overexagerate stuff. In most games taking place in the near future there is time travel and hover cars and sky cities and laser guns. Not this game. G.R.A.W. mixes technology and realism in the perfect blend. i give it 10/5 if i could. Now im off to beat the game on hard. A good way to get achievment pionts. Look out for the sequel!! Spring 07
