This game is hard and fun!!!
I loved this game when i got it for chrismas.
I passed the game but the only thing i did not like was that there was not so much levels.
Ghost recon, Deser siege, Island Thunder together only 31 levels!!!!!
The game was fun a lot of weapons souldiers to chose from.
There were tanks, helicopters, and more but u cant drive them.
Graphics were ok.
Basiclly ithink u should get this game, but there isnt a lot of levels.

Hope this was helpful.

This is my first spuad-based game. And what a deal! It pays to wait until 3 games are packaged into a gold or platnium edition! The training session was helpful. You control 3 separate squads, and you are a member of one squad. As a team, you assualt the enemy and complete the objectives. You control where and how the teams move (and during set-up, you can choose your team members and their weapons...or just let the computer do it for you). I learned to tell my squads where to go and then start/stop them every so often to look around and fight the enemy. You have 3 main screens; the action screen where you see all the pretty graphics; the soldier screen where you can check health status and switch between different soldiers (you can change to any soldier on any of your squads and assume his role...really cool!); the map screen where you plan the route that your squads will take. I also really like the objective briefing screens; they did a nice job on those. This is definitely different than the typical first person shooter game or real-time strategy game. It does take a little getting use to, but once you get the hang of it, it's really fun! Even for an "older" game, I thought the sound and graphics were great!

This is by far the best game I have ever played in my entire life. I was very happy I that I bought it when I first played it. My friend recommended it and I never regret buying it. This game is worth the money.

Great first FPS experience

Bought this game on a friend's recommendation. Not having a "super computer" for gaming, this game is ideal. Single player missons are great. Multiplayer mode is awesome. This game is hit with our LAN party and has become "the thing to do" on a Saturday night. Still have many faucets of the game yet to explore. Only drawback is that the game does not support the use of a handheld controller. You can, however, re-adjust your key configuration for ease of use. Enjoy.

GR, it ain't Xbox though

Its like rainbow six but outside so the areas your vulnerable frome are huge. This game takes alot of patience and you probably will not finish any missions on the first run through.

I like it but Clancy is p***y

Why does Clancy write great books and then he lets Hollywood ruin them? He gives the book to some liberal in Hollywood and they cast anti-American vermin in his films.

The game is great too.

Not too bad at all

This is a pretty good game. I just got it and have had a lot of fun playing it. It's reasonably priced; I think there are 31 different missions with the 2 expansion packs in the Gold Edition.

I'm only playing on the easiest setting right now "Recruit" and it's all right; I'm assuming that medium and hard are a fair bit more challenging. It's good value for the money and a good way to kill some time for people who like shooting games. The graphics aren't that great, but the game is already dated, so you can't expect much. And like I said, it's reasonably priced; you'd be hard-pressed to get as much game for the same amount of money these days.

I'd recommend it if you like Tom Clancy games....just don't expect it to be Splinter Cell or Rainbow Six.

well executed horible idea

what the hell were they thinking? they took the worst part of the rainbow six series and made a whole game out of it. Why? why? why? the long awaited full sequel to rogue spear and they completely blow the level design. i dont mean to say that the levels are not intricitely designed with little strategic advantages waiting to be taken, and that they didnt improve squad managment so that it is now completely flexible for in-combat commands. What I am saying is that the AI needed to be seriously reworked for long-range combat.
you spend most of the game looking for enemies, finding them, aiming at them, and blowing their brains out. the bad guys skip the first three steps and just blow our brains out. this gets a teeny bit annoying, you want a protracted gunfight, where cover means something, and snipers have an advantage over guys with ak-47s or pistols at long range. instead every bad guy is a match for your sniper, they can see your sniper every bit as well as you can see them (even though hes wearing some serious camoflague) and they can aim every bit as well with their naked eyes as you can with a scope. cover fire is absolutely useless; either you hit your enemies or they kill you. you cant keep them pinned down until you're in position, the AI doesnt allow that.
this game is so well designed in every way except the AI. the AI is taken straight from earlier games, and they should have restricted the game to close-range combat if they were too lazy to make a semi-decent long-range AI. i cant enjoy this game because i am always thinking of how good it COULD be. it isnt.

Maybe it's cause I'm a newbie to the genre . . .

but I LOVED this game! I had never played a squad-based first-person shooter before, and I saw this for $15. Game of the Year, 2002? How bad could it be?

I then found myself spending the next month slogging through 30 delicious missions of special forces fun. Now, don't get me wrong, it's not perfect. I ran into some pathfinding problems (guys getting stuck in stairwells, or jumping off a 6-inch drop, rather than taking a ramp, and breaking their legs no less), and it is annoying that my guys never used their grenades. But they were certainly quick on the draw, regularly taking out enemy soldiers before I could even spot them, let alone draw a bead.

Maps are nicely varied and large, graphics and sound are solid, and the control scheme is not nearly as difficult to learn as I thought it would be (although it does take some practice, and the tutorial is kinda stinky). But the thing that amazed me most is that just about every mission contains a lot of NOTHING happening. You're moving soldiers into position, looking around for the bad guys, wondering if you should take the high road or not and then BAM! BAM! RAT-A-TAT-TAT! The sudden (usually short) bursts of violence just mde the lack of action unbelievably intense.

Odds are pretty good that if you're a fan of the genre, you've already played this one. If not, cough up the $15 and buy this right now. I'm already dreaming of replaying it as soon as possible.
