Without a doubt, this game shows that originality in gaming is very much alive and kicking, even if it is wrapped inside a sensitive subject. If you want a true military experience without going through boot camp, Full Spectrum Warrior is it.
What an awesome game!

Couldn't Ghost Recon 2 play identically. All this game needs is Ubisoft to come along and give it some good graphics and realistic AI.

I started it up and the opening sequence was just so entertaining. It made you actually like the characters.
Started playing and felt like I was back on active duty. Can't play it with my little ones being able to hear what's being said as the language was like I remembered.
Only complaints that I have so far is that when they restock on 5.56 and 7.26 ammo from the truck that they should be able to pick up grenades as well. The other is that they should be able to call in airstrikes, artillery and mortar fire at a more believable distance.
Not realistic

From viewing the video clips, its clear the US soldiers in this game employ a 'spray and pray' approach to every incident; this is not realistc, and more like what today's untrained Iraqi soldiers do, not highly trained US servicemen. Not once did I see members of a squad *aiming* precise or controlled shots vs. the enemy, which is just not realistic. In every engagement the majority of members in the squad should be seen taking aimed shots -- sure the SAW gunner lays down supressing fire, but they really dropped the ball on this with having no one taking aimed shots with their scope-equiped rifles.
This is a Great Game

FSW was the best war game I have played. This game was sorealisting and the graphics were so great they just blew me away.
And Saraa this games not about killing Muslims and blowing up Mosqus it is about killing the terrorist enemy and if it was in any other place in the world like alot of ther games are you'd have nothing to say then even though you are still killing somebody. AFTER ALL IT IS STILL JUST A GAME IF YOU DO NOT LIKE THE KILLING THEN YOU DONT HAVE TO GET IT!
Finally, a true combat simulator

This game is the real thing. If you want Halo in cammies, this isn't it. But this is as close to true combat as any game has ever come.
The graphics are superb, the sound and music are first rate and the game play is unbelievable. Even the radio communications are true to Army doctrine. I am consistently laughing at ignorant gaming companies that obviously received their views of the military from Hollywood. Not these guys. They know their stuff. Great game.
If you like the Tom Clancy games, this one trumps all of them.
There is only one negative - the fire teams sometimes do not react to commands as quickly as I would like. But other than that, this game is wonderful. Just don't expect a first person shooter and you'll love it.
Pretty but NO replay

The graphics in this game are amazing but the game play just doesn't get me involved as much as i would like. I enjoy all types of games but honestly, both Splinter Cell's had my heart beating with excitment. I can't really say that much for this game. In order for me to give a high rating the game actually has to make me wanna go back and play it. But again, i can't say that for this game. I'm impressed with all the detail the developer went into to make this game so real. I found controlling two teams was a little more difficult and it doesn't really make it seem as though you are a member of a certain team because you have to switch back and forth between the two. I haven't played it on Xbox Live but if you're able to control one team then that might make a difference.
Good game, but not great.

I bought this game thinking it would a great game from the reviews I saw in this section. Not true. First, it's way too short. I bought it Thurday and was finished Sunday, and that's playing it about an hour a day. The controls are easy to pick up and the graphics are great. That's about where the good things end. There aren't enough enemies, you're squad members' accuracy is terrible, the missions are easy, and the commands the team leaders use are so repetitive. I must've heard "Listen up Bravo!" 300 times. If you are a hardcore war game fan, you might want to get this game. If you're looking for a great game to hold you over until Halo 2 comes out, pick up Chronicles of Riddick: EBB. Now that's a great game!
