In a word...WOW! GRAW is probably the best game I've played for XB306 yet. The graphics are ultra realistic. The weaponary is cool as all get out. The AI is freakin' creepy!

When you're leading a small assault team into a fortified compound, setting up sniper positions, control Bradley tank assaults, and calling in an Apache strike all at the same time you realize how unbelievable awesome this game it. That sounds pretty complicated but GRAW makes it so easy. You can almost be in five places at once.

My only criticism is the same I've had with the previos GR & RS games, the AI of your teams could still be a lot better. You have to be careful they do go running into the line of fire or come between you and a target in tight quarters.

Despite that, all in all a very fulfilling gaming experience.

This truly is an awesome game. I was a big fan of the series for the original X Box, but this game takes things to the next level and beyond. The graphics are amazing while the gameplay is well thought out and smooth. I also have Rainbow 6 Las Vegas and think GRAW is a much better game. If I had to have a gripe about the game it would be that during the later levels your health depletes quickly. It seems like you take only on or two hits and you die. It would be nice to be able to heal yourself the way you can heal your team mates. Or have more ammo boxes available to heal. Other than that I can't wait for GRAW 2 in March.

Good game let down by flaws

When i first played this game i found it to be a very impressive showcase for what my X-box 360 is capable of. Well i was half right, you see the game does look good, the graphics ain't the problem it's the horrible bugs and awful framerate that are the biggest problems with this squad based shooter. I had to restart the game three times during one session because of bugs, i mean it's just not on. Another problem is the AI of your squad, you give them an order (The few orders there is) and they just start running around like headless chickens. The enemy AI is also bad, they start firing at you before they even see you and there appears to be no jump which can be exteamly annoying. It's not all bad it can be a very engaging experience but you have to be prepared to put up with some very annoying bugs and glitches. If your a fan of the Ghost Recon games then you'll more than likely look past the bug's and just get on with it but if your new to the series then i suggest you buy Call Of Duty 2 or wait for Splinter Cell: Double Agent instead.

best 360 game to date

Ghost Recon 3 is a combat game with amazing graphics and sound. Both are so real it's almost like you're there. The character movements are smooth and realistic. This is one game you need to listen to in stereo and view on a good quality TV.

Single player campaigning is a ton of fun. Multiplayer is even better than single player, and the multiplayer maps are extensive from jungles to cities to beaches.

GRAW = fans will love it, newcomers beware

This game has probably the toughest learning curve of any computer game I have ever played - and I have been playing them since Dungeon Adventure in 1991. The level of detail in this simulation - 1st person (with 3rd person view, overview for ordering members of your kill squad, what I call "GOD Mode." While games like HALO2 or QUAKE4 can be popped in the Xbox360 and started, played and enjoyed within 5 minutes or so, this game *requires* that the player is either familiar (very, very familiar) with its interface and already ready to rock, or prepare to be frustrated.

I read the manual. I will add here that the photo included of the control pad and what the different buttons do is *LAUGHABLY* small. The font is smaller than I have ever seen, even with a decent magnifying glass I couldnt clearly see what they were indicating (button Y does what? I cant see that dot - font literally font size 2). After reading the manual, I decided to try to play the game. I played the introduction and player training scenario set at "easy" and still couldnt get past this after an hour of play time. At the same time Quake 4 had me sucked in and rocking, shooting, ducking etc.

GRAW has decent potential but be ready for a steep learning curve, a lot of frustration (unless you are already a fan and user of the earlier versions) and a lot of practice before you find yourself able to enjoy this game.

wow

Let me start by saying this is very good game but it has some flaws. When i first started playing this game i was amazed by its graphics and simple gameplay. The xbox live play is probably the best out of all of the 360 games so far.

Those were all positive points, but now for the negative. i was on the 5th level and i was on a turret. A transport troop was coming and i fired on it and blew it up. It sounds O.K so far doesn't it, but when i got of the turret and tried to move i couldn't. So i had to start the level over.

this also happened to me in a later level. I was near the end and i had to get on a turret and blow up two helecopters. I did and once again i got off and tried to move but couldn't. luckily i had just gotten a checkpoint so i took a grenade and killed myself, and started out right back where i was but i could move this time. then when i ran to the extraction point and ended the levle, it took me back to the main menu and i had to play the level over again.

But i would still say buy this game for the online play and the campaign is all right if you dont mind playing some levles a couple of times over.

What can I say

The graphics are sick, the game is great. That's all there is to it. Other than Fight Night, these graphics are the best. It makes me proud to own an X360, and it makes me wonder just how good the games will be 6 months to a year from now. We've only scratched the surface of what the 360 can do, only the surface.

Frustrating beyond belief, but fun

(NOTE: This is a review of the PC version) I'm a FPS veteran and have been playing tactical shooters since the first Rainbow Six. This game is great fun, I'll give you that, but in the first mission you get the impression that the designers peppered enemies in random spots just to make the game harder. Enemies have scripted movements, but don't move much beyond that. If you find one it will sit in its place and not move, often-times not even seeing you. It's the ones you don't find that become frustrating because they're around every corner and they're all expert marksmen, have eyes like a hawk and ungodly reaction times. The other frustrating factor is that your men die because they don't follow instructions correctly and stay put. You tell them to stop and they'll move around anyway. You try to place them in the correct location but often times they move somewhere else or don't move at all. I've also found that ghost #1 is the worst at movement for some reason. Enemy are positioned in such a way that you can't move from one building to the next without being drawn into a trap of fire from multiple directions. You end up playing missions dozens of times to find the easiest path. By that time you learn where most of the enemy locations are, but even then if you make one mistake you're taking a dirt nap. Poor AI and what I like to call the enemy cheese factor really hurt this game. It could've been so much better. There's no rhyme or reason half the time for one enemy to be located behind a building, crouched and waiting. It only serves to annoy and frustrate. Couple all of this with the fact that you have long stretches of gameplay between save points and you'll be yanking your hair out by the roots in frustration. Aside from these gripes the game is fun and addictive. The graphics look great, except for the occasional car or other object that is stuck in the sky after an explosion. The heat wave effects are cool. Hopefully the second game (due out soon) will be better than this one. Not having a save anywhere option makes you frequently stop playing out of frustration.
