Major Glitch Causes Xbox to Crash

Ghost Recon 2 is a blast on xbox live when it isn't crashing your Xbox. There is a major programming glitch that will cause your xbox to crash. This occurs in the middle of game play, or anytime for that matter. The game goes to a black screen with an error message saying, "please restart your xbox." This is happening on every copy purchased on every xbox using xbox live. Until the game can be patched and available for download, plan on being frusterated if your soul purpose is to play xbox live. The company behind this is obviously more interested in getting a pre-Christmas release for revenue then put out a descent an error free version.

Ghost Recon-Not!

This is not ghost recon, what I don't understand is why are all the great games going into teams of four? Ghost recon 1 was amazing and had 2-3 man teams but now you only have one four man team. In the original rainbow six games you had eight men (which was amazing) now you only have four? Is every military game trying to turn into Socom, i mean you can't make it much more obvious!

Horrible

Let's put forward the facts now. I may not know the "true" greatness of Tom Clancy because his only game I like is Chaos Theory. The graphics for Ghost Recon 2 are outstanding. The sound and music also rock. But here comes the bad part. For one thing, I despise this one-shot-kill thng. It makes the game impossible and totally unfun. You have very few weapon selections, and can't pick up the enemies'. Multiplayer is no fun at all. If you give orders to your squad via your Xbox Live headset, they'll usually do the wrong thing. Don't bother with this awful part of the series. Go pick up Summit Strike instead.

It was fun to play ; but way to hard.You don't get enough health.Normal skill level in Ghost Recon 2 would be hard in any other game. I have seen worse games;but it could have been alot better.

BAD!

Not worth it. This is not Ghost Recon

I bought this game on the strength of the Original and Island Thunder. I want my money back. It's just doesn't meet muster. It cannot be compared to Ghost Recon.

AI is lame, no control of fire teams or switching between team members. What is the deal with the Single character mission?

I'll be trading this one in.

A Sure Hit that Missed its Mark

I must start off by saying that I loved the ghost recon games, the rainbow 6 games, and the splinter cell games. Ghost Recon 2 has great graphics, sound, and weapons and that is about it. It is a mating of the original ghost recon and rainbow 6 and instead of a beautiful game, produced more of an ugly stepchild.
They stripped it of its 2 team command system and instead have given you 3 idiots to fight with you. You can't control what your team can do, nor do you have another team to watch a flank. So like in rainbow 6 you have fodder to find the enemy and that is about it. My kingdom for control of the individuals and their fire sectors. I don't mind that they have you playing one individual, but without control of the others, you might as well be on single rambo missions the entire game....in that case at least you'd get the camera gun.
I honestly don't even know the story line....instead of the briefings as in the original, they decided to tell the story as a flashback from some Maury Povitch type show...VERY DISSAPOINTING. Now for the good news...play this with 1 to 3 friends cooperatively on the missions and it becomes very enjoyable...the idiot factor is removed and this is a great game. Pros: Graphics, Sound, Weapon choices, multiplayer. Cons: No command system, very stupid AI, horribly wrong way to tell mission breifings, cannot suprise enemies like orginal stealth not really a factor, etc. Recomendations, buy Halo 2, buy Full spectrum warrior, wait to buy this game when it gets to under $20.00 it is worth that price but no more.

No more strategy, less intelligence

Ok most will probably like Ghost Recon 2 for it's Live play but other than that, there's not much holding the game together except nice graphics & some nice weapons. The Gameplay is pretty much a copy of Rainbowsix 3 & the presentation is good but enemy & friendly AI is extremely Random & horrible at times. And the game missions are mostly linear. The gameplay is mediocre at best.......without the stratey, Ghost Recon 2 just isn't very fun to play.
Original Ghost Recon fans should avoid this at all costs......it's not really Ghost Recon anymore, sadly.

a tactical shooter minus tactical

a brief review. graphics are outstanding. the reflection on water looks so real. characters look great. animation is great. a cool option available to switch between 1st or 3rd person. now, on to the not so good part. with only 1 squad, tactical advantage is lost. for hardcore original ghost recon fans, we remember using 2 teams to cover multiple objectives, well, not so anymore. this game has been designed for the new, casual gamer. the enemies are tough & numerous. i'm not taking that away. but the game is linear even with the very large maps. no more waypoints. only 4 orders are available. stealth is completely eliminated. no matter how hard you try, the enemy knows you're there. no more using the map to locate the enemy. very fast paced. similar to rainbow six 3. if that's your style, you'll probably like it. but hardcore ghost recon players like myself, will be a little disappointed with the very limited options in this sequel.

Ghost Recon 2???????

If you are a fan of the first two Ghost Recon games for Xbox, then expect to be dissapointed.Seems they have moved away from a tactical shooter to more of an arcade-like shooter.The squad voice overs are horrible and you are forced to either go it alone or fight with the same four squad members.Pick up Halo 2 instead.....
