Summary: Excellent game, but too short
Review: Ghost Recon is excellent, although it is somewhat not as realistic as I would have hoped. Snipers are useful early on; however, they quickly get shot up in later difficulty levels as the AI apparently is a crack shot from long distances with an AK. Regardless, it is alot of fun to unload a SAW into a camp, and to toss a couple of rockets at some tanks. When you do get a sniper well protected, he can potentially win the entire level single handedly, but that is rare. Your troops do not get many different types of guns. The idea of having a specialist is nice, but gets old. After a while, every new specialist is so great and wonderful that using your standard people is pointless. It's debatable whether or not the standard people are of much use other than cannon fodder after a while. However, this is a VERY fun game, with lots of action, and lots of dying. Expect to ask yourself often, "What? Who shot me?" Worth your money to buy. The modding community will make this one a definite keeper.

Summary: Ghost Recon is Great
Review: Red Storm and Tom Clancy have again come out with a sure winner. Ghost Recon combines the addictive gameplay of the Rainbow Six series into a military campaign that no one can pass up. With the computer AI almost human, you're guaranteed a challenge. The multiplayer is also great. One of the key things that make this game seem so much better than the R6's is that there is no planning period before your missions. You have to work on your own instincts to get your team to all the objectives and keep them alive. However they are by far not a burden. These guys can take care of themselves, and you at the same time. You can put support troops, complete with 200 round machine guns to cover, while you get your sniper set up to take out the enemy's advancing manuevers. All in all, a really good game. You should enjoy it for the multiplayer just as much as the single player too.q

Summary: I wish I could give this a full 5 stars.
Review: This game is amazing, and probably is the best of 2001 (though I have yet to play Return to Castle Wolfenstein). So why aren't I giving it 5 stars? Well unfortunately I still think that Red Storm has some glitches to clear up before this game is worthy of the full five stars. I have a good computer which I've tried to build specifically for gaming and first person shooters. I have all the requirements that should make this game run perfectly, but I am still experiencing some lag. The game is so intense, however, that I am able to forget about the slight glitches except when they become so bad that I must restart the game. When the game is at its best, it's phenomenal. It is the closest thing to real combat that has been released thus far. I've played realistic games and games such as Halflife where one shot doesn't kill, and I appreciate both styles of first-person shooter. If you're more preferential to the Halflife-style game where you can take a rocket to the chest and not die, then don't buy this game because one shot almost always kills. The game rewards you for success by unlocking more specialists as you continue, and awarding your outstanding performances with combat medals and ribbons. I thought that this was the most unique aspect of the game, as well as the combat points that can enhance each of your characters. This game is awesome and truly amazing. It would be perfect if not for the above-mentioned glitches. Don't let that fool you though, you need to experience this game to call yourself a fan of the first-person shooter genre. It blows the Rainbow Six series out of the water.

Summary: Definitely impressed and so realistic....
Review: As noted is some of the previous reviews, I have experienced no problems with GR in single player. My specs: P4 1.4G, Intel 850GB motherboard, 128 RDRam, GeForce2 MX 400, SB Live Value. I have noticed a distinct popping noise during single player gameplay when shuffling or strafing, but not all the time. This is not necessarily a problem w/ the game as well. Overall, I'm am thoroughly impressed with the game. As a past devoted fan to the Tom Clancy: Rainbow Six and Rogue Spear series, GR definitely adds another "notch on the belt". Graphics are clean and very realistic. Movement and weapon effects are more believeable. The realism effect is definitely there. In some cases, it maybe too much for some.
AI is definitely an improvement. Case in point: I approach two "bad guys" within 50 meters, placed a shot on one and down he went. The other "bad guy" went down as well; like he was shot. This confused me for a second thinking I had nailed both of them with one shot. I held my position for a few seconds and sure enough, the second guy did stand up, facing my direction and shooting. Fortunately, I was prepared and took him down as well. This situation took me completely by surprise and surely would have been my demise had I not held back a few seconds. The kicker to add to this: this occurred in the first map. Imagine what lies ahead.......? I have not attempted online multiplayer but have tried IP and LAN with no problems. Same relative idea as with RS, but with a facelift.

Summary: Wow!
Review: I love this game! First person shooter games will never be the same.With Ghost Recon,UBI has revolutionized how fps games are to be played/experianced, everything from the AI to the unbelieavable lifelike display of graphics and sound. I would think that this is about as close to combat as any sane person would want to get ;) It would be unfare not to mention about the problems I encountered playing the demo. And from checking GR's homesite, I wasen't alone. However, this was remedied aft upgrading my drivers. The positives outweigh the negatives! Well I've gotta go, more tangos to kill! ; )

Summary: Tom Clancy at his best!
Review: This game is perfect. I loved all of RedStorms other games, but this one has to be the best. It's right next to Rainbow Six: Rogue Spear. Ghost Recon is very good because you can go straight into the action. The key controls are very simiular to Rainbow Six, but the best part is, there is no planning stage. You go straight into the action and then tell your people what to do from there. The games graphics are very good, but could use just a tad bit of work. The AI, however, is very much like a human, even on Recruit mode. This is a great game, and I think that any Tom Clancy or Rainbow Six fan will be very happy.

Summary: VooDoo Owners Need not apply.
Review: If you own a 3DFX VooDoo video board, you should not buy this game. This game may be fun, but that only counts if it runs and you can see it. As it stands right now this game does NOT support the VooDoo series of video cards therefore; the game won't start, will crash, or at the very best you won't be able to read the menus or use night vision in the game.(. . .)P>I cannot say if this game is fun or not, but I'll be returning my copy because it does not work and of the non-existent support from Ubi Software.

Summary: Was this rushed?
Review: I love Operation Flashpoint and Hidden and Dangerous. I love FPS in general as well. I was looking forward to this game as I enjoy soldier based tactical simulations. However, its closest cousin is SWAT 3 and that is a far better game.
Don't get me wrong, this is a good game but not a great game. The soldier models are excellent and the sound effects are the best I've heard for the weapons. But it is not too hard and I completed it on recruit in two nights only. The AI is rather basic and your soldiers are annoyingly dumb even with a full points bar. I'm sure die hard fans will lap it up but I think it was a slight waste of my £30.00.
Could do better.

Summary: Amazing gameplay, graphics, multipl...OK! This is fantastic!
Review: Red Storm has worked magic once again. The days of enclosed areas dueling it out with terrorists are over, and now you get to be unleashed from small maps into the great expanses of Ghost Recon. Im not going to throw all the praise at this game, because you have heard it before. I will say that every good thing that has been said about this game is true. The graphics are mesmerizing, no blocky testures and flat polygons anywhere. It is like you are standing on the battlefield it is so realistic looking. I have played many FPS', but none compare to this. The AI is frightening. They will organize themselves and come after you in groups using advance and cover maneuvers. Your team can be torn apart if your not careful, because Red Storm has worked wonders with the AI. Gameplay, like the rest of the game, is excellent. "Must play" is not the phrase for this game, it is addiction once you start, and so good, even in its current form that you just will not want to stop playing! Multtiplayer, the most important feature of any game like this is a Rainbow 6 fan's dream! Up to 36 people can play simultaneously, with individual squad leaders which teammates select. It is the Rogue Spear fun factor times 10... And I played Rogue Spear nonstop online since its initial release. If you like FPS', wargames, realism, or anything military, buy this. There is no way you will regret it if you meet even one of the requirements at all. Not for the kid who likes jumping 50 feet in the air and firing a rocket launcher at the same time. One shot kills, and this game is all about realism.
