The graphics in this game is the ONLY thing in it that's better than the original. Everything else is somehow worse.
The biggest problem with this game is that it forces you to complete an entire multiple stage mission without being able to save after any part of it. I completed the first part of mission #1 and was unable to save after this stage which should have been a save checkpoint. Once I completed this part, I promptly got shot in the head on the (harder) second part of mission #1 and was forced to try the entire mission over.

The aming with any of the guns is absolutely horrible as well. The orders you can give to your teammates is restricted to covering fire, taking point, throwing grenades or coming back to your position. Your team also won't engage any enemy they see on their own either without you firing or directing them to provide covering fire.

Ordinarily, an enhanced enemy AI would be a good thing, but even during the first mission, the enhanced AI is a disaster. I have yet to have been wounded, I simply get shot in the head and die immediately. I'm not getting close to the enemy either and am prone on the ground behind foliage, yet I get shot in the head during a firefight every time. This doesn't make any sense.

Also, what made the original Ghost Recon unique has been taken out of this game. You are one character in the game, you cannot switch to different soldiers on your team like in the previous GR PC and PS2 games.

Save your money! I'd only buy this game if it was severely discounted.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is complete crap! Heres my game summary

Graphics-These I liked they were pretty good for a s**t game 8/10
Gameplay-This sucked just so boring! 2.5/10

Music-Terrible paticualy the music when u die gets annoying! Why? U die all the time 1/10

Bordem beater-Terrible game just ets u easily fustrated but the weapon variety is OK -1/10

Verdict-Dont buy unless u want to get easily fustrated! Theres no save game points except at the levels end no health or ammo packs just a few shots and u r dead its very slow! I could diss this f**kin piece of s**t all day! If u really want a Tom Clancy game get splinter cell. Already own the 2? Well preorder Chaos Theory that sounds 10 times as good as this piece of bulls**t! I Wasted £37.99 (because I'm British and I live there)on this f**kin s**t game! (sobbing)I should have begged for GTA San Andreas! I'm never buying a Ghost Recon game again! People I may be 12 but listen to everyone who hates this game! I'm so p*ssed off about this crappy game! I went to forcing the shop kepper to let me buy it underage (because in Britain its 16+ and Britain have diffrent age ratings to America) for nothing!
-2.5/10
I've even got a rap about dissing This
Ghost Recon is crap
listen to this rap
worst game ever
wost game ever
whatever the weather

1 last word F**k Ghost Recon! Peace People! R.J From Britain

Very Disappointing..... Nothing like the original. I can't believe I wasted my money.

NO OFF-LINE MULTI-PLAYER !!!!!!

Don't make my mistake. Stay away from this game if you liked the original.

A disgrace to the Ghost Recon series

After playing and loving the original Ghost Recon games I expected this game to be just as good if not better. Boy was I sadly mistaken. Although the graphics may be good thats the only thing the game has going for it. Simple actions such as commands or zoom become too complicated and your team mates might as well not even be issued guns since they hardly use them. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY. Maybe if you want a night of utter frustration go rent it. It also makes a decent frisbee.

What happened to the GHOSTS!? Dissapointed completely..

First let me start by saying that I LOVED Ghost Recon 1!Ghost Recon 2 however, is a nightmare, and I am completely disappointed. Why? The first and foremost reason is that GR2 has completely lost is sense of intelligent stealth Recon game play. When playing against the computer in campaign mode you are forced into a pidgeon hole entry consisting of a hail of bullets from the enemy on each mission! No more going through the mountains to stealth kill or snipe you enemy! No more suprise attacks. No more traveling anywhere you please on the map! You are literally forced through a tight one track space every time to reach the enemy!! This allows your enemy to see you coming every time a mile away! For this reason the game play is impossible and very unrealistic; any small combat military team would not enter a hornets nest though the front door as you are forced to do with this ridiculous game! One star is for the increased intelligence of your combat team members, and increased graphics. However little help they are when your out numbered 10 to 1 and forced to fight the enemy head on. In other words when you see that valley or path through the woods to suprise assault you enemy, forget it, you can't go there. Every possibility to improve Ghost Recon 1 was ignored by eliminating the ONE BASIC ELEMENT OF small team U.S. Special Forces combat missions; the element of suprise and stealth. Second of all the action character you play in this game is slow and clumsy; the enemy engages faster than my guy will move! I find my self yelling at my guy; get up and shoot!!! This game is like a boring slower version of Duke Nukem! Excuse me while I whip this disk against the wall. For the creator of this wasteful game: Go back to the drawing board you; what were you thinking!?? Bring back the realism and stealth.. PLEASE! The Ghosts are gone! Purchase this game if you love the feeling of going down a ONE WAY street, THE WRONG WAY, and getting shot at!

Waste of time and money.

I thought about telling everyone that this game is great just so they would go out and waste thier money like I did.

Im sure you are all aware that the reason this game sucks so bad is because they forced it out so they could get it out before christmas so they could make a lot of money. First of all some of the graphics in this game look like paper mario. The videos are good but the actual game play sucks. I have played about five missions and havnt seen the XM8 yet. Not only have I not seen that weapon you only get about four different weapons to choose from. The fact that when I shoot a silenced pistol and everyone starts shooting at me is retarded. I hate the fact that I get 15 minutes into a mission and something stupid happens and I die and I have to replay the same mission 50,000 times. How about if you have a close quarters gun like an mp5 and your 2 feet from a guy and you hold down the fire button you wont even hit them once. I hate how if you want to change your stance he has to take a dump on the ground before he does it. He also runs like he has a you know what up his you know where. He runs so slow I think when im running i see a sloth walk past me. This game is worse then the new Medal of Honor game! Why is online not 3rd person? The list of how bad this game is goes on forever but im not about to waste any more of my time at this games expense, its not worth it dont buy it.

crap

the graphics are ok, but that's about it.
it's way too hard.i started out on normal difficulty,couldn't get 2 minutes into the first level,so i have reduced it to recruit difficulty(the easiest) and still cannot get past the first level.my idea of fun isn't playing a level 50 times before i can get past it.there is no health and no saving...you can't pick up extra weapons-- you can only trade yours for your enemies dropped ones-- it seems incredibly linear like R6 lockdown-- that game isn't that great either.
i have the first 'conflict desert storm' game and it is better than both GR2 AND R^ lockdown!!!
i don't think i'll be buying any more clancy titles--

HUGE LET DOWN!

GHOST RECON IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE GAMES. THIS GAME AND GHOST RECON JUNGLE STORM ARE PITIFUL IMITATIONS OF THAT GAME. I PAID LESS THAN $4.00 FOR EACH OF THEM AND THEY STILL ARE NOT WORTH THE PRICE I PAID. BUY THEM AT YOUR OWN RISK.

THE ONLY THING THIS GAMES GOOD FOR IS YELLING AT!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok so I go to game crazy,I see GH2 it looked realy cool!IT SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The worst thing is that your elite team of "ghosts" are retarted enough to eat crap!!!!!!!!!!!! Just to give you an idea I'll tell you some of my laughs, what realy made me mad is the time when i was almost done with the first mission and all of a sudden there's only two dung heads following me around!!!!!! All of a sudden one of my team mates dissapears into thin air!!! So I walk around the level for an hour looking for a total air head!!!! Another time is when I wasn't even half way through a mission when all of a sudden one of my dummer than hell teammates stops and starts shooting round after round at a rock!!! I HAD TO RESTART THE MISSION FOR THE 50TH TIME!!!!!!!!!!! DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS PIECE OF CRAP!!!!!!!!! AND IF YOU DON'T WAN'T TO LISTEN TO ME THAN HERES WHERE YOU CAN GET THIS PIECE OF CRAP FOR FREE, THE DUMP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
