Summary: Not bad
Review: I'm all about strategy in FPS's, I play on a Tribes2 ladder and so far no game, including GR has come close to T2 in balance, gameplay, strategy, graphics and fun. Here's the thing: too much realism isn't necessarily a good thing. A hit to the chest or head from a 7.62mm, .223, .45 - it doesn't matter, you DIE! Maybe FPS should be a little fantasy oriented. I mean, Juggernaut armor CAN resist a fusion mortar hit at close range I've seen it happen :)
Take my adivice, upgrade your system to at least match mine (TBird1.4,GF3,SBLive,Klipsch etc) get some broadband, and play some Tribes2.

Review: The game reviews were great and the hype was even better, but the fact is Ghost Recon left much to be expected. The graphics are a mix between Delta Force Land Warrior and the older version Rogue Spear. Most of the maps are channeled and is hard to maneuver through without getting bottle necked some where during the mission. The AI on Ghost Recon (GR), compared to Rogue Spear (RS)was greatly improved, and the multiplayer options were also improved. But the graphics were a disappointment. The user must have a 32 MB or higher video card in order to see the game at its best. I have a 64 MB Nvidia Gforce3 and experienced slowdown in the game at its higher settings. My caveat, the game is not for the digitally lame, but definatelly worth the money (...).

Review: This game is so cool. The graphics are amazing. If you have a fast enough computer it is so worth the money. One difference it is more of a military game rather than a SWAT team. I deffitnally recomend this game.

Summary: This will keep you rivited!
Review: First off, this game has installed and ran just fine on my system right out out of the box with no patches. It's also been quite stable and has not yet crashed even once. I know all systems are different, so for reference, here's mine: An Athlon 1.2 ghz. with 256 megs system ram, an NVidia GeForce 2 with 32 megs video ram, and an SB Live basic sound card. On my system it runs best at 800 x 600 resolution with all details maxed. The game has a 640 x 480 option, but that's as low as you can go. It also has 1024 x 768 and many higher than that, but you'd better have a monster pc if you want to go higher. But even at 800 x 600, this game looks stunning! The outdoor areas are vast and beautiful; completely convincing. My review will focus completely on the SINGLE-PLAYER game, since that's all I ever play. I've heard multiplayer is good too, but I know nothing about that, so read no further if that's your interest. Please note I have nothing against multiplayer gaming, I've just always been a loner and like the self-contained aspect of a good single-player game. The gameplay in Ghost Recon is fantastic. I am a veteran first person shooter fan (and by the way, this game plays in first-person viewpoint), and I was skeptical about this game being too difficult for me to manage. I am used to simple, straightforward gameplay, and the prospect of controlling 6 characters seemed like it would be a daunting task. But it's not difficult at all. Anyone who has experience playing FPS's should have no trouble getting the hang of this. The controls are intuitive, and re-mappable to your liking if you don't like the factory settings. You can give your team members orders using a simple command map, or you can move them around individually by switching bodies. The strategies you can use are limited only by your imagination. If your character dies, you can switch into another's body and continue playing, until all 6 of your guys are dead. I installed and ran the game without so much as a glance at the 64-page manual, and I had it figured out quickly. I will admit to using the included keyboard reference chart however. I planned on just taking a look at the game and setting up all the options, and then quitting until the next day. But instead, I ended up totally involved in the first mission for 3 hours, completely glued to my screen, convinced I was actually there. The enemy AI is excellent, which makes gameplay difficult, but never frustrating. If you get killed, it's not because of some stupid programming glitch. It's because you got outsmarted or outflanked, which makes you want to try even harder to beat the enemy next time. There are lots of choices if you're looking for a game like this. I've played Operation Flashpoint and Deadly Dozen too. And I gave them both 5 stars because I loved them both. But Ghost Recon tops them. If you have absolutely no experience in this and want to see what you're getting into first, try the demo. Or for a lot less money you can get Deadly Dozen, which is a very similar game and will give you a pretty good feel. Personally, I own them all and have not regretted any of the purchases. They each have their high points and personalities. If you've got the horsepower, I recommend Ghost Recon wholeheartedly!

Summary: the first step is the hardest
Review: I wish I could give this game an honest 5 stars. The magazine reviews are gushing, word of mouth is that GR is the Bomb, and I was even able to play it once. But it is so buggy that now it crashes every time I start it, even after multiple re-installs. It simply does not work. The minimum specifications for the game are insufficient to run it. Be wary--if your system is less than a year old, you might be safe. Otherwise, you may end up having to buy some hardware in order to play Ghost Recon. It is commmon for new games to have problems, and for companies to offer patches quickly in order to solve them. From what tech support says, Red Storm isn't in a hurry to release a patch for these bugs. So on my shelf it sits--a great game that cannot be played.

Summary: Good game that blends several types of combat game play.
Review: Ghost Recon is a fine blend of gaming styles. It borrows parts from Land Warrior, Flashpoint, and Rainbow. Ghost Recon has the graphical detail of Rogue Spear, and the strategic depth of Landwarrior. The game format allows you to plan 'on the fly,' which is very helpful in real-life combat engagements. And this flexibility doesn't compromise the game's graphics (as Landwarrior does). The hard drive req. of 955 Megs is fairly ominous, but the game is very operator friendly. Aside from only a minor sound problem, which was quickly fixed, the game offered me no complications. If you want a realistic, challenging, and high quality, first-person combat strategy game, get Ghost Recon today.

Summary: Initial release is very unstable
Review: Just a word to the wise, the initial release is very unstable. The forums are currently clogged with gamers having difficulties with everything from the installation through game play. It has been three days since I purchased the product, and have yet to play one game due to game crashes. So far UbiSoft and RSE technical support have yet to significantly address the issues. It looks like a great game and I can't wait to play...but at this point I might wait to see if the manufacturers will address the reliability problems. Just thought you shold know.

Summary: As close as you REALLY ever want to get to the real thing!
Review: Have played all the simulators, and own everyone of the Rainbow 6 games. This is as close as you can get to the real thing with out powder burns, or learning first aid. We are currently using this as a training aid for CQB, and squad tactics...Much cheaper than the real thing, and easier on the knees. If you buy ANY first person shooter this year, this is the one to buy! Semper Fi!
