I generally don't like FPS games... But not this one!

I played the demo on easy, and found that the AI was actually intelligent. The controls were really good, the weapons were really good, and the graphics were pretty good.

I'm not an expert on FPS games, as I rarely play them, but I noticed for the most part, the enemy soldiers just didn't sit and die. In fact, while assaulting a house, one soldier went around the house and wasted my team member from behind. They did seem slow to fire though, and mostly stood (as opposed to going prone or squatting), but it was on easy... I'll get this game.

Ghost Recon Beats all the Rainbow Six Series Games.
It has VERY good Graphics.
For this game you will need a Good Sound Card.

To start, I'm running a Pentium 4 1.6GHZ, 256MB RAM, to a 19 inch trinitron Monitor, backed up by the Nvidia Geforce3 TI series 3d Accelerator. The graphics are AMAZING. The sound is even more mind boggling. You'll actual FEEL like your out on the battle field. The best part of the game is the ease of game play itself. The controls for a game of this level could have been extremely hard to learn. However, you can adjust the entire keyboard to fit your standards. If your someone who's sick of buying computer games that are too hard to learn how to play, or too fast paced to even enjoy, then say hello to Ghost Recon. It's the most playable, yet high tech game on the market today. I'm a huge fan of SWAT 3, and this is the military version. I highly suggest you try it.

**Update**

I put this on my new Dell 8200 system (P4 2.8ghz, Geforce 4 Ti 4600) and let me tell you its even BETTER looking. This is a masterpiece of computer gaming. I also have the Pro-Media 5.1 Surround Sound system at 500 watts with 6 speakers, and the sound is even more out of this world. If youve got the system setup GO for this one.

Good game, but had major problem with it

I could only play a few levels. Once I got up to the mission with the tanks, my frame rate went right out the window. Simply unplayable. I run a ATI Radeon 8500 with64 Megs RAM on a 1.5 Intel P4 system, 256 Megs of system RAM. Simply no excuse why at any resolution I could not get a good frame rate. Went out, got all the latest and greatest drivers, no good. I bumped everything down, even the res to 800x600 16 bit colour, still no good. I turned down details, and eventually, it just got ot the point where I lost interest in it. However, I did play the missions I could over and over again, until I could run them in my sleep.
If you are lucky enough NOT to have problems with it, this game is outstanding. However, if you end up like me, where you can just tell the computer is thinking far too much between draws, it's good right up until the point of failure.
Later note: Driver updates and patches fixed the slow frame-rate issue. The game is an outstanding title and I moved the 4 star rating up to a 5 star as now it plays properly and plays better than I had hoped.

Awesome.

I was very impressed with the sound, the noise of automatic gunfire is just dead on target, to the point that I can actually tell whether a shot was fired by a team member or a soviet soldier by sound of the weapon. Sound usually doesn't add or subtract much from a game for me (unless it's absolutely atrocious), but hearing the quiet of the outdoors suddenly shattered by automatic weapons fire brought to bear on an unknowing column of soldiers is a huge rush.

Ya, just read the review ok

Trust me, this game is the best tactical shooter EVER. Not that I am a big fan of tactical shooters: I think that alot could be done with all the Tom Clancey games. Like more in-game scripted moments and the taking out the fact that every mission goes just the way it was planned. But with the absents of scripted moments, you get to make your own, which I have to say, is INCREDIBLY fun. Nothing is better than to infiltrate a base with a sniper, get him in position on a high post. Command a heavy assault guy to infiltrate the base and give him cover fire with your sniper while he runs to the target. Or sending in alpha squadron to rescue POWS, but all except one of your guys dies, and that guy is pinned down. So you call in bravo squadron to rescue that guy and he lives to see another day (but he is wounded severly, he got shot in the arm and the leg). I only gave it a 4 because the game isnt as hectic as that all the time: some missions are not that great. The ending mission is just like all the others. The worse thing about this game is friendly AI, the enemy AI is the best I've ever seen, but the friendly AI, is not that good. Sometimes it is good but most of that time it isnt, but that doesnt do as much damage as you might think. It is still a fun, enjoying experience I recommend to anybody who likes this genre.

The Best Single-Player Shooter Out There

In Ghost Recon you have the best graphics, sound and gameplay available. Select your team of up to six characters, choosing any combination of riflemen, support (heavy firepower), demo or sniper (my personal favorite). You then get to set them and you deep into war-torn Georgia, getting into the thick of it in desert, city, swamp and forest.

Gameplay interaction is great, enabling you to concentrate on the mission, deploying the two teams your current character is not on. You can set teams' weapons control at suppressive, no shot, or weapons free, and your teams' movement at 'at all costs,' caution, or recon. The right combinations of these settings will have your troops doing anything you want. Plot there movements and zones of control at will.

The maps are great, the zoom functions on the weapons that have them are perfect, and the gore settings are optional, and not overkill. The AI for your teammates and for your enemies are better than any I've seen, with the exception of the expansion pack, Desert Seige.

If you like to play as a single character, going solo, get over it. That will get you killed in this game. Use all of your people, deploy them sensibly, and you will win. I strongly recommend buying this only if you have at least a Ghz processor and at least 256MB of RAM.

Lastly, a word on multiplayer. If you have it in mind to buy this for a multiplayer experience, forget it. Unless you have every mod and expansion, playing multiplayer is next to impossible, due to incompatibilities between host servers and your game. This is the one black mark on an otherwise excellent game. For multiplayer gamers, I recommend the Delta Force series.

While i enjoyed the multiplayer of Rainbow Six i hated the single player which was nearly impossible due to lack of save games. Ghost Recon has full save games. Good and bad. Good, you can save anywhere. Bad, makes the game quite linear. The gameplay is amazing with excellent level design, graphics and sound effects. Ghost Recon is a very realistic game. You can only carry two weapons and a single gun shot can kill you or wound you badly. The biggest problem is that the main menu is at low resolution and the movies do not play sometimes. When i played at 640x480 i can view the movie cutsence but at higer resolution i don't sometimes. I did not have anyother problems beside that. Ghost Recon is a must if you like stealth shooters.

WHY SHOULD YOU BUY THIS GAME???

I was at the store and I saw this game. I had to make a decision between either this or Operation Flashpoint. I chose this because I am a big fan of Rainbow Six and I heard Ghost Recon was similar. What a great decision I made, since I've got this game, it's hard not to get away from it. The graphics.....well..are graphic. For example when you throw a gernade or shoot your gernade launcher and it explodes near the enemy, you'll see the enemy's body fly a bit from the concusion of the gernade and shrapnel flying everywhere.
Even more graphic is when you shoot somebody, especially with the sniper rifle, they react pretty realistically. The best way to explain it is comparing it to Saving Private Ryan when that sniper was taken out all those Germans from the bell tower. I really felt like a "bad-to-the-bone" sniper. The sound effects are just as awesome. Each level had distinct sound effects, like in level 8 you can hear jets flying over head and artillary fire in the distance. In level 9 you hear the slosh of the mud as you work your way through the swamps and you can hear rain falling into the shallow water, on top of that, the scenery is absolutely beautiful, although you don't have much time to enjoy it while you're being shot at.
Another great thing about this game is how upgradable it is. You can download weapons, items and missions from the internet called "MODS" and have them in your game making it even more fun. I even downloaded a mod that made the game even bloodier and wounds more realistic to the eye. There is a lot of support out there for this game, especially websites created by fans where you can download great items .... With all those options out there on the web, the game never gets stale.
However, like all games out there, this is not all perfect. One big downside is, to really enjoy this game, you need to download a patch for this game which weighs in at a whopping 44Mb. Enemies can sometimes not be realistic. You could be a mile away and an enemy takes you out with one shot, they are sometimes way to accurate to be realistic, thus leaving you to unconventionally manipulate certain areas where you know the enemy is, in order to beat that level, giving you the feeling that you're beating the gamedesigner, rather than the enemy. Another thing that I wasn't super crazy about was you can't see your rifle barrel in front of you when you're playing, although its minor and doesn't effect gameplay, it's just something that I feel would've added to the realism. Other than that the game is quite fun. Also getting on the internet to play is even more fun. I almost feel like I'm playing paintball or laser tag with other people. It's not hard to start up multiplayer over the internet, it's free and you can play decently at even 56k. I play at around 36k or even lower and it seems to do fine. This game is a bit expensive but I highly recommend giving it a try and you wont regret. I'm glad I did and it works really smoothly on my two year old LAPTOP!

The BEST military game I've ever played

I'll say this straight out - if you don't have the hardware to run this animal, IT'S TIME TO UPGRADE! The engine is much more efficient than the Rainbow 6 series, and has 15 single player missions that are rivoting. The graphics and sound have you believing for a few seconds that you're actually on a real operation. You can save your games as much as you want too. The A.I. of the enemy is great. They run for cover, drop to the earth, and plan on their next attack.

If you are a seasoned game veteran, like me, you'll be impressed. If you're new to gaming, YOU'LL BE BLOWN AWAY!!!

Just make sure you have the hardware. I use a PIII 866; Voodoo 5 64RAM; 256 RAM and it runs great in 32 bit color.
