Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon looked amazing, the back of the case said improved graphics from the PC version, added things and it would keep you sweating. I beat the game on hard in 4 days. The day after i bought the game i went to my friends house and played Conflict Desert Storm. That game is way better, graphic wise, game wise, and its not EASY. Ghost Recon is not as good as it says it is so i say dont waste your money on it!!

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.

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.

Not the best FPS available.

GHOST RECON manages to keep a pretty even pace with its only competition, CONFLICT: DESERT STORM. You manage a squad of four soldiers, and all of them must stay alive. Unlike CONFLICT: DESERT STORM, all of the missions are pretty similar.

Mulitplayer is good for split-screen, but there is no online play. If you want to play online, buy SOCOM on PS2. Split-screen multiplayer is actually pretty good here; better than MEDAL OF HONOR: FRONTLINE or CONFLICT: DESERT STORM.

Single player is just not as exciting. MEDAL OF HONOR has an awesome single-player experience, but if you own that, check out THE SUM OF ALL FEARS, SPLINTER CELL, or the upcoming RAINBOW SIX 3. Graphics are behind those of RED FACTION II or SPLINTER CELL.

In the end, GHOST RECON is not a bad game, but there are better games available.

Solid Game -- Highly Recommended!!

(Note: This review is based on the Xbox version, but I have not included any Xbox-specific features.)

Ghost Recon is a welcome break from death match, you-must-be-on-speed-to-keep-up type games. Instead of pulling a trigger and running around until you kill someone, this game forces you to develop detailed strategies to accomplish your tasks. The action you do encounter (and there is plenty) is intensified by the fact the stakes are much higher -- a couple of bullets or a well-placed grenade takes you out of the game. This forces you to develop a properly planned and well executed course of action.

The game is squad based. During single player mode, you play one of six soldiers and can switch between them at any time. Your player leads one squad of three, and you set a course of action for the other squad which is controlled by AI. As you complete missions and tasks, you unlock addition items such as new soldiers to choose from. Surviving missions also increases soldier skill.

Ghost Recon has significant replay value. It has 15 levels and 50 different tasks to complete, but because there are so many strategies that can be used to complete a level, they can be played numerous times with the same enjoyment level. Of course, on-line play adds tremendous replay and excitement.

In my opinion, the mark of a good game is how quickly time slips by while you are playing. Time after time I have intended to wrap up in 10 minutes only to find that an hour has passed. This is a fantastic game.

I do have a few complaints. The graphics are generally good, but can be on the choppy side at times. I have also experienced instances where the AI squad didn't do what I had mapped out. But, for the most part, the game is a welcome addition to my game library.

A well-executed game that rewards thinking

Finally, a first-person shooter that requires strategy and forethought. This is one of my favorite games for the Gamecube. As another reviewer pointed out, this game will appeal to people who like the James Bond series of games, but is superior in every way.

The Gamecube version of this game does not have online multiplayer capabilities, a significant drawback compared to the Xbox version. It still gets 4 stars from me because the single-player game is so deep and so much fun, I never notice the lack of online capabilities. The A.I. of your squad members and of the enemies is intelligent and sophisticated, and requires real strategy from you to get missions accomplished. Also appreciated is the realism of combat - one wrong move and you're dead. No unrealistic "health meters" in this game, and no flashing hearts lying around to restore health. Either you survive or you don't, which introduces a level of excitement to completing a mission that I didn't even know was missing from other games until I played Ghost Recon.

This game sounds remarkable in a surround-sound setup, and since the game is designed so that you need to know if someone is sneaking up behind you, surround-sound can actually enhance your gameplay. This game comes most highly recommended.

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!
