If you're a GR fan, this is what you were waiting for!...

I give this a four out of five because a five to me would be a game that you would give up everything you own to play the rest of your days!... This is an EXTREMELY good one! If you're already a veteran of GR then there's no question as to whether you should play this. It's basically a good continuation of the first. There are a few nice little enhancements that are all for the better. It takes time and patience (just as the first) to play this one, it's not a "run through and kill 'em all" game. One mission can take over an hour if done carefully and properly without putting your fellow soldiers into harms way. If you're in for some realism with some "palm sweating" and "screen staring" then pick this up (along with the first!)

What happened to all the money we spent on testing?

Is the game flawed? Yes. Should you buy it? That depends on your patience and willingness to work around a good game with poor or non-existent human interface testing. Basically if you do anything the game programmers did not anticipate, and they do seem narrow minded, the game will spend several minutes trying to resolve the new situation and it will either A.) be successful, B.) Hang completely, or C.) Give you the reboot screen. Unfortunately (B) and (C) happen with much more
frequency than (A).

Working around the problem(S) is fairly simple.
1.) Save after the completion of any/every mission objective. Only do this when the squads are inactive. In other words don't start them towards their next objective and then save.
2.) Don't switch weapons while the enemy is engaged. This almost always guarantees some form of stop. Switch to the alternative weapon before the engagement begins. You'll know when to do this because you had to restart when you needed it.

The question becomes one of is this game worth the trouble to manage the errors. It really has a good story, interesting situations, good graphics, etc. Medal of Honor Rising Sun won't be out for awhile, it may keep you busy while your waiting. It is kind of interesting to see how many minutes you can go without upsetting the program. I'm currently at 29 minutes. I suspect that if you play it exactly right, the way the developers anticipated, you can get through the thing without a crash, but I lack the time or interest to test the theory.

Rent it before buying or check ebay/amazon for used versions. I'm sure there will be many that rival rental prices.

WELCOME TO THE JUNGLE!!!

Man oh man. This game is off the hinges. The minute I started a campaign I messed myself in the pants. It was that good. Awesome gameplay, graphics, and the jungle is [great]....

dissapointing length

an extremely short title. It was over in a couple of days. A bunch of new levels were later released on xbox live...

Same old song and dance

This game isn't much different from the first. The game is definately tailored for those with Live. For those of us without.... The game is still rich in detail but a few bugs still do remain. The waypoint guide still requires you (sometimes) to get into the exact spot or spin circles to release it. Arms will still appear through doors and similar barriers and team mates will still get stuck everynow and then. The most disheartening thing is that a sniper really isn't needed. The specialists have a amount of accuracy at a range that only a sniper should be able to hit. If they can see it on zoom they can hit it. The number of levels for those of us without Live is also a downside. But still all in all this is a good game and for a challenge play on Elite. It's a keeper.

Good game, but as good as the first

I played through this game very quickly compared to the first. More weapons to play with and a little harder, but not nearly the game the first Ghost Recon was.

Great Game

More of the same just a different place. Great game to play as good as Halo. A few nice changes from the first buy it...it is cheaper...and have a blast.

Red Storm did a great job with this game. The weather effects are outstanding and the gameplay is better than the first. It has 8 campaigns and 10 mulitplayer levels. The only con about this game is that the graphics are good until you get up close to an object (like a house). Despite a small shortfalling in graphics, this game has great jungle warfare, and the live play is even better. I would recomend this game to everyone, especially if you have xbox live.

More great ghost recon action

Unlike the first Ghost Recon which had 14 levels, this one only had eight. And I flew through them. Wish it was longer. I do recommend it for all new strategy players but it should have been longer. :o(
