Rating: 4 stars
Summary: hardcore ghost recon actions
Review: Ok here it it. basically if you own the original Ghost recon, and GR Desert Siege, you need to buy this one.

The action is great. Difficulty level has increased a lot. Missions are more complex and push you to really split your teams and complete each task idependently!...the changes they have made to gameplay are very good. Now all your soldiers are equipped with binoculars!
New weapons and specialists. The new multiplayer mode DEFEND is awesome, basically you have to defend your base from the enmy attacks. Hold your position.

Buy it dude!! it's great!

Summary: Island Thunder
Review: The second expansion pack for the game that won several Game of the Year Awards, what else is there to say...If you're new to Ghost Recon and Island Thunder, once you hop in you'll love it...then swing by [the website] and join in with the crowd and you'll soon realize the full potential of the game.

Summary: OH MY GOD!
Review: This game is better than the first. If you own the original GR you gotta get this. If you never experienced the first one get both of these. The game is fast and the graphics simply rock. I'm no military schmo but this game really makes you appreciate what they do.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent addition
Review: This is a great addition to Ghost Recon! The single player maps are alot of fun. The new "insertion" scenes are alot of fun, where you get to see your team ride in on a boat or chopper. If you like to sneak around and enjoy the level like me, 8 levels will be plenty... Most of them took me near an hour to complete.

The single player action is pretty intense. The AI of both your team and enemy seems to be better than the originals and the level design and realism puts you right in the front lines.

The multiplayer addins were add some new variety to the game. Defend is great and the new weapons keep the game interesting...

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Exellent tactical shooter.
Review: This is a great game. It has much more varied terain than the first two editions, and both enemy and friendly AI seem to have improved. Both sides are capable of highly effective ambush and flanking manuvers. The sniper rifles have gotten better as well.
in response to those who said the game was too short, it is the same legnth as Desert Seige, and has some cool additions to the Quick Missions.

Summary: very good
Review: This is a hard expansion pack, harder than the Desert Siege pack which came out this summer. As with the original Ghost Recon, I have found that the best strategy is to take command of your teams one at a time - sending them into battle using friendly AI almost always results in quick death.

For most missions, the best strategy is to send your sniper in with one assualt troop as cover and clear a path. Then send you assualt teams into to clear buildings or destroy armor. One especially good early mission takes place in a rainy jungle at dusk. Using stealth and silence weapons I was able to pick off quite a few enemy patrols. Enemy AI is pretty good - often they can pick off your sniper before you can get off a second shot. Each mission is unique and requires a different strategy.

All in all a great game. Highly recommended.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Not bad.. AI is tough, new weapons are pretty cool
Review: This is a pretty decent addition to a great game. The only thing I recall about the AI is the last mission- Bad guy ran for the helicopter (if he gets there, you lose. If you kill him, you lose.) Since there was no way to "subdue" him, Ie. shoot the gun out of his hand or something, I lost the mission and had to find a different way to win. (If you really wanna know, I went in with 1 character with an MP5SD and he never had a chance to run.) So- I wasn't all that impressed with the AI... if you consider that an AI-related action.

That said, the new weapons are cool. Faster-shooting (less accurate) sniper rifle, automatic grenade launcher, suppressed M4 (good because the MP5SD was sooo weak against armored dudes). I still don't like Ghost Recon's way of assigning weapons packs to characters, and the limitations, compared to Rogue Spear.

It still amazes me how the enemy can see and nail you from 300 yards off, even if you are in a ... Ghille suit and crawling.

There is a lot of fog in this mission pack... (bad news for you snipers, but its still quite playable as a sniper.)

I did like that the new maps include a real variety of landscapes- city, village, military-style fortress, outdoors, etc.

The new weapons don't help the fact that close quarters combat sucks compared to Rogue Spear.

I thoroughly enjoyed playing the new missions, but I dont know if it was worth the money. (Okay, it probably was.)
