After playing the demo I was hooked but nothing could prepare me for the full game. This game sticks to the basics and does that really well.It is a very believeable game and the fluid controls add to this experience.

Excellent combat action

The gameplay it's absolutely great. It's like being there for real. Besides, the game offers a variety of game modes including multiplayer. it's excellent for strategies and objective accomplishments.

Wonderfully Done...Wish the SP Campaign was much longer

Hello Folks,

This is a fantastic game.

I have had no framerate issues so far.
The graphics are superb.
The explosions are awesome!
I love the use of drone, mule, teammates, air support.

What I wish they "fixed"

Make coop split screen have the same functionality as the single player mode. In other words, have the drone more operational, have a squad of AI, even if it is two for you, and two for your split-screen friend,etc.

I thought you could send your squad mates in differing directions from each other, but it seems you can't...you only have "regroup" and "go to", but it is for all of them. I could of sworn I saw a game review where it shows that you can tell each teammate precisely where to go...

Have a longer single player campaign.

Have that multiplayer map pack that they have made for the Xbox 360.

Regards,

John

Realistic, fun shooter!

Being a Tom Clancy game, I had my doubts about how good the game might be, since I'm not a big fan of his games...HOWEVER, I must admit, I just got this game 2 days ago, and I am having a blast playing it.

It's very realistic, and I must say that it's way better than Rainbow 6: Vegas, and overall, it's a really fun game to play.

The gameplay is very smooth, shooting is fairly realistic, you can hide & cover behind almost anything, there's a nice choice of weapons pick from, you can choose team mates, and your team mate intelligence is very good, (as is the bad guys). Your teammates just don't stand around in the open looking stupid. Heck, you can even shoot thru certain types of obstacles to get a bad guy, like thin walls, or something like that.

You have night vision, you've got help from a flying remote vehicle, you can place teammates anywhere you like, you can have your mates do some recon for you, you can even look thru your own team member's helmet cam for a different perspective on the battlefield.

The CONS:

GRENADES:
It's almost impossible to have a grenade land where you want it to land. Which is why I love the SOCOM games so much, because, in SOCOM, you know exactly how hard to throw it, and you KNOW without a doubt, where the grenade is going to land! In this game, it's guesswork, at best. And 9 times out of 10, you miss your targets....Which is a total waste of a good grenade!

ENEMIES:
Sometimes there are SO MANY bad guys at one time (in one concentrated area), it's a REAL CHALLENGE to get them all, unless you have a bazooka or something..... But, when there's 3000 bullets ripping your way, you sometimes can't even get a few shots out....Which is a bit annoying.

HEALTH:
While you can get help from a medic in this game, there's not much margin for error in terms of getting shot at...You better hide as often as possible....I guess it's just like real life, but, being a game, one would assume that even on an easy setting, that would change just a little bit??? But, it does not! So, be prepared for that when buying/playing this game.

OVERALL:
Other than those few bad points I have mentioned, it's a really fun game to play, it's very realistic, and has some pretty cool features...Let's face it, no game is perfect, and this game is no different, (and I still love my SOCOM games better) however, Ghost Recon 2 is certainly worth the price of admission, and probably the better (maybe the best) new military game thus far, for the PS3 game system!
