Summary: It's a MUST BUY expansion game for Ghost Recon
Review: I always love Tom Clancy games, like Rogue Spear and Ghost Recon. I bought The Desert Siege expansion pack from Amazon.com, and it is the most challenging team shooter game.

Desert Siege is not for a beginner Ghost Recon Player, since the computer enemies has very good artificial intelligence. They can hide and they can run away from you! It can cause a real havoc when you have to deal with an enemy sniper until you can figure it out where he hides.

The first time you play it, you may get frustrated a little bit because the enemies are harder! but after a while, you will figure their behaviors out.

Must play game of the year!

Summary: What I've Been Waiting For
Review: I bought Ghost Recon when it first came out. I looked at the back of the box, and figured I would take a shot (an expensive one) at this being a good game. I was VERY happy I did. Ghost Recon is the BEST military game EVER made. The only problem with it was that it's too short. The additional 8 missions are well worth the price. There are also some cool new weapons. The scene is the Desert, instead of country side like in the original. If you own Ghost Recon, I reccomend this expansion pack. If you don't own it, buy them together, it's winning combination.

Note: You will NEED the first Ghost Recon to run this game.

Summary: Good but could have been better.
Review: I love the original Ghost Recon and fans of the game should pick this game up. There are some thinsg I like and osme things I dislike about this game that keep sme from giving it a better score. I liked the new levels and higher occurance of enemy vehicles. Nothing is as tense as having a vehicle full of gun totting baddies scream around a corner catching you offgaurd. You only get 8 missions which isnt bad considering the orignal was only 15. What I do not like about the games however is the fact that aside from the gun that one new specialists carries you cannot use any of the new guns in single player mode.There are tons of new guns but only available in single player mode. Its a good buy especially if you play alot online but they could hav edone a little more.

Summary: Great Game but need proper hardware
Review: I've seen many complaints about games not working on their system, whether it is a problem with the video card, not enough memory, or your CPU is just not fast enough. I've played many games, RTCW, MOHAA, Ghost Recon, Desert Siege, and Max Payne. I was able to turn on the highest video settings without experincing problems. Before you buy the game check the requirements! If your computer meets them or barely makes them don't buy the game, you should always beet the recommended. When you actually have the right pc the games are actually fun.

Summary: CRAP
Review: If you like bugs, glitches and spending your time reading tech forums at UBI, buy this game, and the original Ghost Recon. Some people have no problems, but many do. Unfortuantely I am one of them. I have a Pentium III 1.1 GHZ 256 mb ram and windows ME
with a GeForce 2 MX 400 64 mb vid card, and I experience a bunch of bugs, even after patching. Personally, I think this game needed a few more months in development. If you enjoy Operation Flashpoint, RTCW, Medal of Honor, DONT buy this game or the original. The graphics are a notch above Delta Force 2, and for some unknown reason the developers decide not to show your characters hands or weapon in your view. So basically, you have a little reticule to aim around and you have to imagine or guess where you are standing. LAME. Realistic? I dont think so... last time I checked, I could see my own hands in real life...
save your hard earned duckets for a real game...

Summary: Shane's rating for Ghost Recon
Review: If you love the First Ghost Recon game you will for surely love this game. In the game the Green Berets (Marines), go settle a 60 year old conflict between Ethiopia and Eritrea. It includes multiplayer teams, 8 missions, and play online mode. My dad bought it for himself a couple of years ago and wouldn't let me play it so when he was gone I would always sneak it and play it. It may be rated mature, but it doesn't have much blood or gore, but it has a lot of violence. It is so real it will make you fill like your in Africa along with the Berets. In most war games you get to play with one soldier, well in this one you get a team of Berets (6 soldiers) to do missions. If you like this game you should also check out Ghost Recon Island thunder, and Rogue Spear. This is the best PC game of the century!

Summary: Not better, but not bad.
Review: It's been a long time since I have played Ghost Recon, the first game, and I was excited to penetrate into these new levels--only 8 missions, about 5 new levels, I believe--but that's all you get for something intriguing. Nothing new here except for the levels. But is that a problem?? No, not at all.

The levels are all situated in the day for the most part on hot desert lands with the sun beating down as always, and there is a level settled in the nighttime. Textures for these levels are pretty good, I must say; nicely planned out, interesting, with nice camouflage-like physical features, such as dense shrubbery, bushes, rivers, etc. Surprisingly though, there is nice topography, with mountains for good sniping and for some difficult moments. On the other hand, in quick mission mode, you are given about 15 or so of new and old levels for enjoyment and value. I must admit that I was motivated to play those levels just for complete enjoyment and entertainment.

Gameplay is usual and peculiar in some ways. When you unlock the 7th or 8th level in campaign mode, the specialist fighters don't have any new, powerful weapons, like in Ghost Recon (orig)--not even that; you don't even have the possibility of seeing some of the state-of-the-art weaponry of these specialists.....Oh, and you don't unlock any specialists in quick mission mode, which, I think, decreased the value of the game. The artificial intelligence is not better, absolutely not. They get stuck sometimes in hallways, and worst of all, your partner, sometimes, doesn't follow you...and if you need back up, you must go back and give him the message for him to follow you.

Sound is worse. Redstorm seems like they got the music and some of the sounds off of Kazaa--or worse quality type audio; it's a little fuzzy. I thought they could have improved a lot on that. Mediocre, but suprisingly, it's not better.

Well, that sums it up. A game that has only new levels. But don't be uninterested, because this game does have some really interesting levels, involving villages at the pits of some small mountains, or a dark atmospheric level, willing to complete the mission in utter black darkness, moon down. The gameplay will captivate your interest, but not entirely. But honestly, you'll like Ghost Recon (the original) after playing this game; it's an improvement over Desert Seige, which may put DS into the dust.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Too short.
Review: Nice change of locale, but no major improvements in graphics or gameplay. Should have been offered for free as a downloadable mod from UbiSoft or Red Storm Entertainment's website.

Fun missions, but too short a campaign for the price.
