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.

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 coolest game for Gamecube

This is the best squad-based, military-themed games that I have played. In single-player mode, one can direct the other squad with general commands; and, rotate between squads thereby using squad-level tactics. The weapons are based on actual models and present nuances distinct to each. For example, the high-caliber sniper rifles have a notable kick...if you're using a ruble-pack. In addition, the automatic weapons' accuracy diminish with sustained fire. The graphics are fine but the realistic details are noteworthy, e.g., subtle sound effects. I'm a Political Science graduate student so the story line is interesting: it's Tom Clancy's characteristic plausible scenarios for international-militarized crises. I completed the game two weeks ago and am still replaying various levels: I like it.

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.

Overall, this is a great game for anyone who likes tactical shooters. It takes a lot of concentration. The weapons are cool, and the levels are cool, too. Multiplayer is the best part. I haven't done any missions yet. The blood aspect isn't really that graphic, Its just a little red on the ground. The guy doesn't even have bllod on him. This game should have been rated "T", but I'm not going to argue about that.
The snipers have congo camo, like in nam. It's really cool. They have a thermal view, too. If you like the run out and shoot em game, get unreal tournament, not this.

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.

WOW!!!!!!!!

This has to be the best game ever made. It is by far my favorite. Incredibly realistic graphics (you DO need a high performance video card). With it's unothidox fighting, it is unlike any game you will ever play. It takes an incredible amount of strategy to figure out just how to get through without being killed. Very tedious, with a strong emphasis on patience. You can't just rush in with guns blazing...you'll get capped in the head long before you ever know there was 1 hostile 200 yards away who knew you were there the whole time. If you think the controls might be hard...you will get used to them. After a while they become very natural. For ANYBODY who says this game is easy, I have no idea what they are thinking. Just try it on 'Elite', and with 1 man (what my friend and I do to test our skills)...and you will have a new definition for 'hard'. There is a vast online collection of mods for the game (PC). But I will say, Ghost Recon is definitely not for everyone. It takes dedication. You have to still want to find out how to survive after being killed more times than you can remember. Its for the skilled gamer who knows that precision counts, and in real life there's no such thing as health packs and random ammo clips. I invite you to try it out and see if it's for you, and you may just become one of the few, one of the Ghosts.

good game!

I read reviews that said this game was terrible because gamecube did not have online playing for it. Granted playing people online with this type of game would be fun BUT the gamecube version is still great! If you are looking for a really good war game this is it. I like Conflict Desert storm, but this is better...especially for the price! Stealth and Action roled into one, very realistic! You control 2 teams, and able to switch to any player on any team. Have different objectives that teams can complete simultaneously. Graphics are good, and the controls are NOT BAD for the gamecube. The Xbox and PS2 controls are horrible for this game, gamecubes are smooth and easy. Looking for a cheap game that is good, here it is...GHOST RECON!
