Product Description
After the success of the first episode of Ghost Recon 3 Advanced Warfighter, Ubisoft has come out with a fun-packed sequel on the Xbox 360! The action takes place in 2014, one year after the events of the first episode. Rebels who have failed their takeover mission decide to get their troops together near the Mexican border. The ghosts are called upon yet again to defend the country. These valued soldiers have 72 hours to prevent a nuclear attack. Battles take place on American land and along the borderline near the neighbouring towns of El Paso in Texas and Juarez. The soldier's equipment has been improved and now includes new gadgets, such as Cross-Com 2.0 (information from auxiliaries) or M.U.L.E (ammunition refills on the battlefield). The developers have also gone into detail on the ranking system and each unit has its own specific functions. The effects are extremely realistic: the weather changes, there are night-time and day-time battles, etc. New cards, weapons and options have been added to the multi-player mode!

more of the same..... which is no bad thing March 30, 2007

This is a very good game. Short, and not very challenging on the middle difficulty setting, but still very enjoyable. Graphically I think it's the best thing on the 360, including Gears of War. There are sections, particularly during the daytime levels, where the graphics look almost photo-realistic. There's some good level design too. I liked sweeping the built up areas, taking cover and sending the squad ahead, taking out the hostiles and then moving on. Of course, this is nothing new but its all done really well.
The game isn't without its faults though. Its 12 months since I played Ghost Recon 1, but after playing on Ghost Recon 2 I was amazed at how similar the games are. At first its like nothings changed. Even the menu and loading screens are exactly the same. The setting (Mexico) is the same, and even when you cross the border you don't really notice the difference. I also felt a bit restricted in weapon choice. Although there are plenty of guns, you're always forced to choose between a gun with an optic scope and an RPG type weapon. Unwilling to sacrifice the scope, I never used the RPG and I felt this was a bad design fault.
But there are improvements too. The graphics are awesome. The cross cam is now full screen, giving you better access to the actions of your squad and heavy support. You're still not controlling them, but it's a cool feature. And, importantly, I didn't come across any of those weird bugs from the first game (remember when your character would stand up with his arms out like Jesus on the cross at the most inconvenient times?).
In short, its more of the same, but better. I felt slightly conned initially due to the similarities with the first game, but I stuck with it and the differences and improvements became apparent. Its worth getting, but something more radical would be welcome for Ghost Recon 3.
p.s. note for R. Turner - if the 360 is so lame compared to your PC, stop playing 360 games. Why on earth would you play Ghost Recon 2 on the 360 if you already knew it was so much better on the PC? Are you thick or what? And if you haven't played it on both formats, shut up.

Look, if you like shooters, like tactics, like multiplayer, then buy this.
The Graphics are superb (I run HD 1080i) the sounds are atmospheric, the storyline cheesy but hey! we're future soldiers right?
The multiplayer can get a little tedious NOT because of the gameplay but because it's sometimes the case that you'll get booted from a game because the host's server can't handle the number of players, but in spite of this it's the first game I've EVER kept playing long after I finished. To be sure I haven't got ALL the achievments yet but realistically the few I lack, I'm unlikely to get.
As a team/ co op game it's absolutely first class, as a solo multiplayer it's absolutely first class
Look it's fabulous, stop reading this and go get it, you'll be glad you did!
Amazing!!!!! A must have! July 12, 2007

This is the best game I own on the Xbox 360. What can I say? Graphics are outstanding, actual gameplay is amazing. The amount of control over your teams, vehicles, etc. is super. The level of detail that this game goes into is great, the vibrations are even included in FMV sequences, the sound is super and the game is suprisingly intense. Normally with these games, I'm quite calm and just go around shooting people without any care. But this game makes the whole concept feel more life-like with an unexpected element of suprise keeping you on your toes.
This is a definate must have, the multiplayer modes are great, and sub modes within these are great; you can even create your own custom modes!
I can't stress enough how much you need this game. It's a great investment and brings endless fun!
Only downside is the fact that the game is a bit short for my liking (but then again I am on my holidays and playing my xbox more than usual). Apart from that it's amazing.
ghost recon is quality March 29, 2007

To be honest i got my x box at christmas for my lad who is 10. I thought i'd get some games for it myself due to the various first person shooters they had as a line up. Loved gears of war and was in need of another game to get me going. Was very disapointed with lost planet that was kinda dubbed as the next big title after 'gears'.
I am not disapointed with ghost recon 2 at all. Excellent graphics. Kinda takes a little time to get used to the controls as there is loads you can do. To be honest as well the massiv array of equipment you can employ in the game makes it that bit easier but it is fun.
Some great parts in the game.....i enjoyed the grave yard bit especially....just simpy the way it was designed and the graphics and music make it vet exciting i thought.
Im not one who wants to play games for months and months so ghost recon is excellent fo rme. I get bored very quickly. So its onto fear and prey next I think.
IN conclusion buy ghost recon it is a quality title that shows off the capabilities of the 360. YOu WILL enjoy it...promise!
1 of the best 360 games to date April 3, 2007

Wow. I have been on for 4 days straight and i have still not finished. I have completed on all the difficulties and still feel like i could play it again. ONline is amazing, if not a bit to hard. 1 critism. I got it on the 30th march completed on the 31st march. 2 days i later i had done it on all difficulties. Only get it if you have live, rent if you don't. the 13 missions are amazing but are way to short and you will complete the game in 7-8 hours. Still a great game though, 1 i highly recommend.
