A Sure Hit that Missed its Mark (11/05/2007 12:45:00)
Reviewed By: Admin
I must start off by saying that I loved the ghost recon games, the rainbow 6 games, and the splinter cell games. Ghost Recon 2 has great graphics, sound, and weapons and that is about it. It is a mating of the original ghost recon and rainbow 6 and instead of a beautiful game, produced more of an ugly stepchild. They stripped it of its 2 team command system and instead have given you 3 idiots to fight with you. You can't control what your team can do, nor do you have another team to watch a flank.

No more strategy, less intelligence. (11/05/2007 13:47:32)

Ok most will probably like Ghost Recon 2 for it's Live play but other than that, there's not much holding the game together except nice graphics & some nice weapons. The Gameplay is pretty much a copy of Rainbowsix 3 & the presentation is good but enemy & friendly AI is extremely Random & horrible at times. And the game missions are mostly linear. The gameplay is mediocre at best.......without the stratey, Ghost Recon 2 just isn't very fun to play.

Not worth it. This is not Ghost Recon. (11/05/2007 13:48:28)

I bought this game on the strength of the Original and Island Thunder. I want my money back. It's just doesn't meet muster. It cannot be compared to Ghost Recon.

Hit, or Miss? (11/05/2007 13:49:05)

If you haven't yet played a Ghost Recon game, Ghost Recon 2 will be some good fun. Up-to date graphics, a fresh story and hours of challenging modern combat is what you should be expecting from this title. I was expected a bit more based on my great experiences with the first Ghosts, which entailed a more tactical approach. And this is where the disappointment begins. The game play: I quickly learned that I no longer have control over customizing my team aside from weapon selection. The whole team is assigned automatically. Yuck! Also, the team is smaller and must face more enemies, armored vehicles and helicopters. These things seem to steer this title away from its roots which is good and bad.
