Rating: Summary: Another average FPS game, Right? Ummm... I don't think so. Review: I often question myself when I buy a game, "Was this worth the money I spent?". Tom Clancy's 15 mission single campaign with multiplayer support (hosted by UBI.com), without a doubt, is worth every single penny... and plus some. If you have played any of the previous Tom Clancy games (such as Rainbow Six, Rogue Spear, Blackthorn etc..) you may think you know what this game is all about. Whatever you're thinking... you're wrong. For example, in Rainbow Six Black Thorn, ... the designers attempted to create outdoor enviornments for a CQB game. And their sad result was a wall with a tree background placed on it. Not my thought of being outdoors.... Ghost Recon's new enviornment makes you feel like you ARE on the battlefield. This game is what gets your heart pumping faster and faster... ducking behind your computer screen, and peeking around corners to find that hidden enemy firing at you from behind the bush 100 yards away. (Not to mention the HIGHLY improved enemy and friendly AI: Enemies now throw grenades, run for cover, attempt to flank you... everything that an enemy would do on a REAL battlefield.) Tired of getting frusterated with planning your mission beforehand, unable to make tweaks while on the field, or just forget about planning because it takes too long? Well in Ghost Recon... You now plan your mission on the fly so you can change your strategy, when the enemy changes his. It's nothing more than "Point and click" to set waypoints and even set firing arcs so "Squad A can cover Squad B and C". I run this game on a P4 Processor, 256MB RAM, Riva TNT 2 Graphics Card, Creative sound blaster PCI128, and Windows 98(SE). The graphics are stunning, and the sound is unbelievable! Without a doubt... this is THE BEST GAME I have EVER bought. And I have bought many games (Unreal Tournament, Empire Earth, Almost all Tom Clancy games, etc...) Don't second guess yourself. You won't be disappointed. I wasn't. Do not delay. Buy this game TODAY! (And once you buy the game ... because I know you will... page me on UBI ... my name's: SEALteam2).

Rating: Summary: Ghost Recon Review: I was a little apprehensive when I first purchased the game as I am hooked on FPS'ers and don't have the desire to play strategy games where you move people around the board. I tried Warcraft, etc., and quickly lost interest. That all changed with Ghost Recon, which gave me the FPS I needed and blended in the strategy component making this a highly satisfying game!!! I was absolutely hooked on this game from the first night I loaded it. I am still learning the full capabilities of the game and the play, but I rate this game at 5 stars for many reasons. First, the graphics are unbelieveable! The attention to detail is extraordinary. The movement of the people is incredibly lifelike. Once, I accidently fired on one of my own men and managed to hit him on the lower leg. The character actually reached down to the area I hit before falling down. I was actually saying, "Whoa dude, sorry" when I realized what I had done. The enemy movement is very sophisticated, and I especially enjoyed some of the cat and mouse play while hunting them (or, where they hunting me?). Second, the strategy and gameplay is very realistic and entertaining. It took me a while to get used to the "one hit and you're down" aspect of this game, but that only adds to the realism overall. The concept of taking several hits and then finding health doesn't exist in this game, for good reason. This requires slower, more methodical planning, deployment, and movement. A successful campaign is very rewarding. Finally, the numerous campaigns are testimony that the creators of this game want people to get their money's worth, and I appreciate that. I suspect this game will occupy my spare time for quite some time!
Rating: Summary: My favorite game of all time! Review: In Ghost Recon, you command a squad of elite U.S. Special Forces soldiers (a.k.a. the Green Berets) as you prevent a group of Russian radicalists that are trying to recreate the USSR. You use authentic U.S. Army weaponry (M16A2, M4, M249 SAW, etc.) to eliminate enemies in large, detailed environments. This is the best game I have ever played. Since I am very interested in the U.S. military, I bought this game and was pleasantly surprised with it. It's very realistic, and some people complain about it being too hard, how you have to crawl around, how the enemies see you, everything. Well, to play this game successfully, you need to have TACTICS. There is a "Shuffle" key that makes you more silent when sneaking up on enemies and such. Also, as you progress through the game, you can add stat points to your soldiers to make them more stealthy, increase their skill with weapons, increase endurance, leadership, and more. Military buffs and fans of other Tom Clancy games should check this one out, you'll enjoy it!
Rating: Summary: Give it some credit! Review: It figures that one of my favorite games of all time goes, for the most part, largely ignored by gamers. The single player was great, and i still mess around with it even today....but the multiplayer, though it was top of the line and better than anything like Counterstrike, kind of died out...you have to go on ubi.com to play Ghost Recon, and let me say that, Ubi.com, let alone Ubi, is not my favorite of sites/companies. Should you be lucky, unlike me, you can get your friends to partake in MP. But, that aside, the game is a gem among a sea of duds....quite recommended.
Rating: Summary: GHOST RECON IS FREAKIN' AWESOME!!! Review: Lets get one thing straight, Ghost Recon is the best squad-based shooter out there. Go buy this GOTY Edition if you don't already own this game. And buy the new mission pack, ISLAND THUNDER, too. And when R6: Raven Shield is released buy that too, and , and...
Rating: Summary: Looking for a GREAT game? Review: Look no further. You have stumbled upon ONE of the BEST games ever made for any system. I don't even know where to start. First of all, I am a pretty avid gamer. I own just about every hot game that has come out in the past year or so, from Ghost Recon, to Max Payne, to Jedi Knight II. I don't like to give a seal of approval unless a game really deserves it. THIS one does. The Graphics: Amazing to say the least. I'm running a Geforce 3 Ti card, and the visuals are a pleasure, at 1024x768 resolution. The outdoor scenes are so complex, yet so detailed. The soliders and their weapons are also done in great detail. The Sound: I've got the Klipsch Pro-Media 5.1 Sound System, and let me tell you, I've jumped out of my chair a few times after hearing gun shots whiz by my head. Most people will tell you that the sound in Ghost Recon is the best part of the game, and they are probably right. The Gameplay: Not too hard, once you get the hang of the controls. Obviously theres room for improvement, as always, but its smooth, and once u get into it your gonna LOVE IT. Overall this game combines amazing realism, with great missions, and awesome weapons. Highly reccomended. Take care.
Rating: Summary: good but hard Review: Now this is a challenging game. Most missions will take you 30 minutes or so and many retries to conquer. Most missions take place in a wide outdoors environment, and getting to the objective usually means fighting your way through multiple enemy patrols. My only beef is with the friendly AI. Often I took command of one team, killed whoever got in the way and them hid them behind something while sending out the other team. The 3rd mission, in which you must destroy an enemy armor column, was especially hard for me. I lost most of my team but finally beat it.
Rating: Summary: So Great in So Many Ways. Nothing Else Satisfies. Review: Ok, be careful playing Ghost Recon because nothing else will satisfy afterward. I've played a lot of games lately... SOFII, MOHAA, JKII, DF:TFD. But nothing, I mean nothing, is like GR. This was my first experience with squad-based gaming and what an intoduction. The Graphics - Stellar. The terrain is incredibly lifelike. Looking out on a forest of trees and seeing the tops sway in the breeze was awesome. The character movement is smooth and realistic. But all of this is nothing really compared to... The Sound - Immersive. Bullets whizzing past your head, trees creaking in the quiet forest, snow crunching under your feet, a bird chirps in the distance. You are there, it's awesome. Still more awesome is... The Details - Perfect. A soldier runs through a river... his pants are wet. Your camoflaged sniper goes prone, you have to squint to see him. When I entered Red Square in the last mission, my jaw dropped. I've been to Red Square, many a time. I've been in the GUM. They got it dead on. I just hung out with my sniper scope for awhile taking it all in. It was exact... distances, locations of buildings, streets, sidewalks... it was perfect. Just like... The Gameplay - Challenging Fun. After GR I tried RTCW... it was boring. Any other FPS looks tired. The beauty is the building of your characters. Like another reviewer said, it's heart-breaking to be clumsy with a character and get him killed after building his skills and learning his strengths and weaknesses. I had a blast with these guys (and girls) and did not want them to die. And not having a linear objective means replay value is definitely there. The maps are huge and you can go anywhere on them. Unlike a typical FPS that basically has one path that you can take, you can go explore a place before killing everybody and accomplishing the objectives. Plus you can use a different strategy on the same map to test the outcome. It's really incredible. There is no question this is the Game of the Year!
Rating: Summary: Real war action pack Review: Ok, graphics enviroment is terrific, in forest or desert you will have to move to be recon or dead, then when you finish it, dont think that action is over, because in the web, begins nonstop action with mods and lot of pacthes that will give you a new whole game, NAVY seals, The g8 Special Forces or anything you could imagine could it be possible with these bestseller wargame, and is not just war, it is full tactical and military action pack Buy it or turn off action in your life
