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.
Involved game without the complex keystrokes

First of all, you don't need to be a contortionist with triple jointed fingers to play this game. The AI (artifical intelligence) of the non-player controlled characters is some of the best I have seen, and it should be even better when the patch comes out in (scheduled) February. You have total control without having to tell the character when to breathe. This is not the game for impatient run and gunners. But its also not a sit on your butt game. There is a great combination of strategic thinking and heart racing firefights incorporated into this simulation. With three levels of difficulty, it should cater to gamers of all experience levels. The US version of the rules book is 60 pamphelet size pages of screenshots and directions, which compared to many other detailed games is quite concise. You don't need to read a thousand page technical manual just to turn the program on. It also seems to run very nicely on all of the most recent audio and video cards. Again, the few bugs it does have will be addressed with the patch. One comment to the negative, CHECK THE SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS versus your machine. This is not to say don't buy it if you meet the minimums but this "game" has so much to offer you'd be missing out on some very impressive graphics and audio effects.

The reason that I like this game so much over normal shooters, is that it's not an all out shoot'em up brawl. There is some stratagy involed. I love to sneak up on the enemy, and in this game that is plenty useful.
A must have!!

This game is one of my favorite games and has every thing that a great game should. The missions are great the guns are sweet and the soldiers look real. One of my favorite things is that all of the rates of fire are also true to life. This game takes a brain to operate and complete successfully. The mission variety is awesome, in one mission you get to blow up 2 sub pens in another you have to blow a bridge(both followed by a sweet cut scene!) The specilists are very important and I think are the only way to beat the game and they are fun to get and use. The only drawback is that if one of your squadmembers die you can't pick up and run with their weapon. That stinks but this game is my favorite game of all and I can't wait until the mission pack #1 is coming out on March 27th, that will be nice.

This game is good for playing. If you go to freakycheats dot com you can find all of the cheat codes. the only thing I don't like about this game is that you have to unlock new players before you can get new weapons. this is so even with the cheat codes.

It is amazing how good this game recreates the feelings and sensations of real combat. You are inserted into enemy territory, and clearly outnumbered, try to success on suicide missions. The game is thrilling, exciting and full of action and war tactics. The downside is that this game really needs a good computer to run with good graphics. I have a 1.0Ghz 256RAM 32Mb PC and it barely manages a medium detail resolution. You'll be placed on several different tactical mission like blowing tanks, rescuing people, kidnapping rebel leaders... You can expect everything from these missions, just like real-world combat.
The first person shooter for people who don't like them!!

If you've played Doom, Quake, Half-Life, Rainbow 6, or any other first person shooter, then you have NO IDEA what Ghost Recon is like. The game is in a class by itself. There are a few bugs, so if you really want to, then wait for the patch to come out in February (or whenever they get around to it). The online play is intense and has been reported to cause heart failure. WOW! Come...join the fun.
Unbelievable!

This game is the best yet by Clancy. It brings back the original feel lie the first time you played Rainbow Six. The sequels up to this were alright by this one takes the cake. It's like a bag of chips and the dip too..... It is in my view the best solo game ever. The two bigest improvements are the realistic sound and ease of controls. Red Storm simplfied the changing of weapons, team movement and toogle. Most of all I wouldn't normally write a review but this one is worth every penny.
Can't wait for another Clancy game!

Although the concept behind this game was well intentioned, the actual gameplay of it is lacking. R6 fans might have been looking for a change of pace, but this is too slow. Team members AI is awful..ie guarding the level's edge instead of looking to where the rest of the board is. Also, if you leave a team member in a semi-secure spot...like sniping in a doorway, sometimes the computer will have him crawl out of it and snipe in the open. There should be more controls for the computer controlled team members (like in Commandos 2 or something).
Graphics are really good, but they too seem to be 2D when you get up close.
Weapons are very weak in this series whereas in the R6 series you had a ton of selections. Hopefully some mods will come out where this can be addressed.
Download the demo before you buy this game...I wish I had.
