Good game but could have been better

Great game. But the graphics were very bad. I like the whole futuristic idea though. The idea of getting badges was good
but I think the bad guys should have been harder and your team mates should have been smarter. What never made sense were those giant globs of gray on the ground. First, what the heck are they? And second, why couldn't you walk over them when they're an inch high? All in all I think it was a good game though.

7.8 Pretty Good Game

I was huge fan of Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six and Rougue Spear, so when I got the chance to play Ghost Recon on PC, naturally I took it. I loved it, and I've played it on X-Box as well, and now the Gamecube. I'll rate this game independantly of the others, as it is only fair.

Graphics: 6 - Looks like a first gen Gamecube game...bad textures, clumsy movement,and framerate drops, but nice open areas. Beautiful FMV's.

Sound: 8 - Nice sound effects, music adds a bit of atmosphere, voice acting is so-so, but nothing very special

Controls: 8 - It works nicely, albiet gets a bit confusing at times because of the planning buttons, but simple and to the point.

Gameplay: 8 - Realistic tactical shooter. Missions are set in a realistically portrayed plot and 2-player co-op is pretty fun. Single player is decent, but no real incentive to replay. Biggest problems are multi-player and lack of extras.

Presentation: 4 - Menus are easy to navigate. My biggest gripe with this game is the lack of any extras (I do not consider screenshots of other people playing extras), and multi-player is pretty much a bust. 2-player FPS?? I'll pass...

OVERALL SCORE: 7.8 (not an average) - It's a game that I had fun playing. It was never extremely frustrating or boring, although multi-player is almost non-existant. Dated graphics don't hinder what is overall a good experience. It's at least worth a rental, or must-have for die hard Tom Clancy fans who only have a Gamecube. Otherwise, the PC and X-Box versions are vastly superior.

The game is packed with the action that the gamers in my house crave. Ordering was easy and fast. Everything is always delivered in good condition and on time.

The coolest game for Gamecube

For a game released in 2003, the graphics are mediocre. Especially the people: at a distance, they are grainy blobs. Up close, they're blocky and awkward looking. The Gamecube is capable of much more, and deserves better work from Ubi Soft. And the AI is really as bad as people have said.

But despite those problems, Ghost Recon is still a fun game. It's different from Medal of Honor, where you're on your own for most levels. In Ghost Recon, it really is about the squad, and using a variety of resources to complete a mission. You can select different soldiers for different missions, give them different weapons etc.

Ghost Recon is not a great game, but realistic FPS's are hard to come-by for the Gamecube, and you could do worse.

Horrible

I rented this game for two weeks, and I can tell you that it was really, really bad. The interface was really screwed up, with confusing, unorthodox controls. The zoom and aiming was confusing, and once you were trying to aim, it took a while to detoggle it.
The weapons were monotonous. There was no diversity between them and they all did essentially the same thing.
The graphics were moderate, but still disappointing and sub gamecube quality.
Personally, I think that even Terminator 2 for the SNES was better than this game (in relation to its time, of course). And Terminator 2 was a bad game.

WOW!!!!!!!!

Before I begin, let me tell you, this game is not for any undetermined fighters. True, it is not as good as the XBOX or PS2 versions, but it sure as hell beats the heck out of most fighter games. Ignore the weopons, they stink, but you can beat most shooting games with only a pistol. What I'm saying is: If you don't know how to plan, you'll screw up pretty badly. One more plus, it's perfectly fine for teens (not people younger than that).

The squad you lead is a double or nothing squad. One man down and you feel that you have failed the mission. The excitement and realism is amazing. But remember, if you don't care, you don't win.

Needless to say I wont ever purchase another Clancy or Uni Soft game. I found the movements in Ghost Recon to be slow and clumsy and about every fourth play the game will freeze up entirely. The combat is unrealistic and the weapon systems wholly inaccurate. Very disappointing, but we live and learn. Peace.

For Gamecube? Really?

When I first saw the Ghost Recon game for Gamecube on Amazon, I was excited, but also skeptical. I realize that writing a "review" for a game that I know nothing about at the moment is stupid, I can't help but hope that it does come out. Gamespot, IGN, and EGM all contradict the release of this game for the Cube; but Epinions, EB games, and of course, Amazon all show that the release of this game is indeed quite realistic. I can't wait to play the game of the year on my console for even more fun gameplay. It would certainly be heartbreaking if the game failed to come out. *fingers crossed*
